Two hundred and fifty years ago Pierre Fauchard (c. 1678-1761) was the leading dentist in Paris. By 1746 he had been in practice for more than 40 years and was nearing 70 years of age. In that year, the middle of the Age of Englightenment, he published in two volumes the second edition of his text book, Le Chirurgien Dentiste. Although this treatise has since become one of the foremost in dental literature and its author recognised as the 'Father of Dentistry', 200 years elapsed before it was translated into English in its entirety. The translation was made by Dr Lilian Lindsay (1871-1960) and published in 1946.
250年前，皮埃尔·福查德（约1678 - 1761年）是巴黎首屈一指的牙医。到1746年，他已行医40多年，年近70岁。在启蒙运动中期的那一年，他出版了两卷本的教科书《外科牙医》第二版。尽管这部专著后来成为牙科文献中最重要的著作之一，其作者也被公认为“牙医学之父”，但在其完整翻译成英文之前，200年的时间已经过去了。该译本由莉莲·林赛博士（1871 - 1960年）翻译，并于1946年出版。
