Abstract

The Edinburgh Dental Dispensary began in 1860 as a private charity to provide free treatment for the poor and to teach students. In 1862 the dispensary became a public charity in new premises with a committee of managers. Dental students were admitted in 1864. By 1867 the annual number of patient attendances was about 4,000 and the mainstay of treatment was extraction. Housekeepers were the only support staff. The dispensary was constantly impecunious; in 1869 the managers considered discontinuing the service. In February 1879, following the 1878 Dentists Act, the dispensary was merged into the new Edinburgh Dental Hospital and School.

摘要

爱丁堡牙科诊所成立于 1860 年，是一家私人慈善机构，为穷人提供免费治疗，并教授学生。1862 年，该诊所迁至新址，成为一家新的公共慈善机构，设有管理委员会。1864 年开始招收牙科学生。到 1867 年，每年的就诊人数约为 4000 人，主要治疗方法是拔牙。管家是唯一的支持人员。该诊所一直资金短缺；1869 年，管理人员考虑停止这项服务。1879 年 2 月，随着 1878 年《牙医法案》的颁布，该诊所并入了新的爱丁堡牙科医院和学校。
