\nThe UNMC College of Dentistry Museum, featuring a collection of dental artifacts that chart the history and evolution of the profession, will be open to the public for free Sept. 21-26.<\/p>\n

\n“This display represents one of the largest collections of historic dental items dating from the 1850s to the present in the United States," said Stan Harn, Ph.D., professor of oral biology and curator of the museum.<\/p>\n

\n“We have added a huge amount of new items this year, and this open house will be the largest display that we have ever had,” he said.<\/p>\n

\nThe collection, which Dr. Harn has been building since 1977, is so large that it is only put on public display one week each year at the College of Dentistry's annual open house.<\/p>\n

\n"We have more than 40 dental cabinets on display from the 1860s through the 1950s, including several new ones from the 1870s," he said. "And of course there will be thousands of dental items on display."<\/p>\n

\nThe museum also features six period dentist offices from the 1850s to the 1930s, several dental chairs dating from 1840 to 1880, a collection of tooth extraction instruments dating from the 1500s, X-ray machines and other instruments.<\/p>\n

\nThe collection will be displayed at the UNMC College of Dentistry at 40th and Holdrege streets in Lincoln. Free parking is available on the east side of the building in the patient parking lot.<\/p>\n

\nThe dental museum is open at the following times:<\/p>\n

\nSept. 21, 24 and 25: 8a.m.-5 p.m.<\/p>\n

\nSept. 22 and 23: 8a.m.-9 p.m.<\/p>\n

\nSept. 26: 8a.m. to noon<\/p>\n

\nWe are <\/em>Nebraska Medicine<\/em><\/a> and <\/em>UNMC<\/em><\/a>. Our mission is to lead the world in transforming lives to create a healthy future for all individuals and communities through premier educational programs, innovative research and extraordinary patient care.<\/em><\/p>\n
