FIRST WORLD WAR SERIES: WW1 MOBILE DENTAL AMBULANCE
The cover images in volume 217 of the Journal have been commissioned to commemorate the centenary of the start of the Great War. Dentistry and oral surgery came to the fore in World War I and significant advances in dental treatment and oral surgery were made in order to cope with horrendous facial injuries and the sheer volume of troops. The cover of this particular issue is an illustration of a mobile dental ambulance. More information on the advent of dental ambulances during WW1 can be found in BDJ Upfront on page 492 of this issue.
