The history of dental practice in Israel dates back to 1953, with the establishment of the Faculty of Dentistry at the Hebrew University. This article will discuss the early roots of American involvement in Israeli dentistry: beginning with the late Ottoman period in Palestine, through the British Mandate, the establishment of the State of Israel in 1948, and the institution of the Faculty of Dentistry at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. It will introduce the central characters who promoted the professionalization process of dentistry in Israel--a process made possible by the 'Americanization' of the field: importing American knowledge and practice. Moreover, this article will demonstrate that although the majority of dentists and dental practitioners arrived in Palestine from Russia and from Germany, the main professional influence was American.
以色列牙科实践的历史可以追溯到1953年，随着希伯来大学牙科学院的成立。本文将探讨美国参与以色列牙科领域的早期根源：从巴勒斯坦的奥斯曼帝国后期开始，历经英国托管时期、1948年以色列国的建立，以及耶路撒冷希伯来大学牙科学院的设立。它将介绍推动以色列牙科专业化进程的核心人物——这一进程因该领域的“美国化”而成为可能：引进美国的知识和实践。此外，本文将证明，尽管大多数牙医和牙科从业者是从俄罗斯和德国来到巴勒斯坦的，但主要的专业影响却是来自美国。
