If one could attend the same College of Dentistry repeatedly, every twenty years, starting in 1880, the evolution and comparison of student life would be historically meaningful. Such a , as a perpetual dental student through 140 years, is the purpose of this paper. To illustrate this unique perspective, New York College of Dentistry, was chosen. This large East-Coast private school has been in existence since 1865, and reflects the typical dental educational environment at that time. The changes that occurred over 140 years, however, may or may not be typical of most private dental schools in the United States due to a multiplicity of factors. Likewise, the life of a dental student has changed over the past 140 years, as dental education, oral care, and dental practice have significantly evolved.
如果一个人每隔二十年，从 1880 年开始，可以重复就读同一所牙科学院，那么观察学生生活的演变和比较就具有历史意义。本文作者就是这样一位在 140 年里一直作为一名“永久牙科学生”的人。为了说明这一独特的视角，本文选择了纽约牙科医学院。这所大型的东岸私立学校自 1865 年以来一直存在，反映了当时典型的牙科教育环境。然而，由于多种因素，140 年来发生的变化可能并不代表美国大多数私立牙科学校的典型情况。同样，在过去的 140 年里，随着牙科教育、口腔护理和牙科实践的显著发展，牙科学生的生活也发生了变化。
