Previous accounts of the career of Robert Wooffendale have presented him as a prestigious dentist in England and a key figure in the development of dental practice in America. English primary sources suggest that this reputation may not have been entirely deserved and that his life-long claim to have been trained by the King's dentist, Thomas Berdmore, may have been an exaggeration of the truth. This paper traces the evolution of his reputation from Cone in 1848 to Cahn in 1971 and stresses the need to return to primary sources in the writing of dental history.
此前关于罗伯特·伍芬代尔职业生涯的描述，将他视为英国一位有声望的牙医以及美国牙科实践发展中的关键人物。英国的原始资料表明，这种声誉可能并不完全名副其实，而且他一生声称曾受国王的牙医托马斯·伯德莫尔培训，这可能夸大了事实。本文追溯了他从1848年的科恩到1971年的卡恩的声誉演变，并强调在撰写牙科历史时回归原始资料的必要性。
