Bernhard Gottlieb, physician and dentist, was born in 1885 in Kúty, Galacia (later Czechoslovakia). He received his doctor of medicine degree from the University of Vienna and a doctorate in medical dentistry from the University of Bonn. He belonged to a group of Viennese scientists who originated periodontics, orthodontics, pedodontics, endodontics, and oral surgery. In the 1930s he began to address in the European sector, root canal treatment in teeth with a vital pulp; following his immigration to the United States, he settled in Texas, in the position of professor and head of the Department of Pathology and Research at Baylor College of Dentistry. Gottlieb wrote many scientific articles and textbooks and is responsible for the beginnings of oral histology as a distinct scientific discipline within dentistry. His initial investigations focused on the periodontium and resorptive activity identified during orthodontic treatment. However, his continued research interests, which are rarely highlighted, focused on teeth and pulps that had undergone trauma and teeth that presented with necrotic pulps. Moreover, his most important legacy may lie in his establishment of the foundation for tissue engineering within dentistry, through his research on the impact of hard tissue elements such as bone, dentin and cementum on the formation of new tissues (regeneration). As stated by Dr. Gottlieb, "This seems to be the goal for which science should strive in endodontia".
伯纳德·戈特利布是一名内科医生兼牙医，1885年出生于加利西亚的库蒂（后来的捷克斯洛伐克）。他在维也纳大学获得医学博士学位，并在波恩大学获得牙科医学博士学位。他属于一群起源于牙周病学、正畸学、儿童牙科学、牙髓病学和口腔外科的维也纳科学家。20世纪30年代，他开始在欧洲领域探讨对牙髓仍有活力的牙齿进行根管治疗；移民到美国后，他定居在得克萨斯州，担任贝勒牙科学院病理学与研究系教授兼系主任。戈特利布撰写了许多科学文章和教科书，并开创了口腔组织学这一牙科学中独特的科学学科。他最初的研究集中在牙周组织以及正畸治疗期间发现的吸收活动。然而，他持续的研究兴趣（很少被突出强调）集中在遭受创伤的牙齿和牙髓以及牙髓坏死的牙齿上。此外，他最重要的遗产可能在于，通过研究骨骼、牙本质和牙骨质等硬组织成分对新组织形成（再生）的影响，他为牙科学中的组织工程奠定了基础。正如戈特利布博士所说：“这似乎是牙髓病学中科学应该追求的目标”。
