Finn Brudevold's laboratory: the Forsyth Institute, 1958-1986
Abstract:
The years 1930-1931 ushered in the initial group of Rockefeller Fellows at the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry the first time in this country that an organized attempt was made in a university framework to formally train dental researchers. A 2001 article published in the JOURNAL OF THE MASSACHUSETTS DENTAL SOCIETY--"A Research Model for Dental Science" (Vol. 49, No. 4, pages 30-31)--examined the preliminary phase of this innovative project. One of the early members, Norwegian émigré Dr. Finn Brudevold, arrived at the Forsyth Dental Infirmary for Children in 1958. His mission was to start a small laboratory in inorganic chemistry and continue his research on the causation and prevention of dental decay. For almost 30 years, Brudevold's ever-expanding laboratory acted as a template for the far-reaching discipline now known as sialogy, the biological laws of saliva.
