Abstract:
A review of the personal papers relating to Frank Harrison and held by the School of Clinical Dentistry in Sheffield reveal what a dedicated clinician he was and the significance of his achievements from over 100 years ago, both locally and nationally for his chosen profession and also for the people of Sheffield. In addition to being one of the first dentists in the world to experiment with X-rays in dentistry, and the first to write up his findings in a dental journal, he designed and patented dental instruments, wrote books, lectured on fine art (particularly Venetian and Florentine art), and gave lectures to the public in the hope that they would heed his message on the importance of maintaining good oral health. A search of national archives and library resources has added further information about his family and professional accomplishments.
