Biographical/Historical Information
Dr. Greene Vardiman Black (1836-1915), the acknowledged father of modern dentistry, was born in Winchester, Illinois. His work and contributions to dentistry were all based in Illinois. His career included dental practices in Winchester and Jacksonville, Illinois. Dr. Black taught at several dental schools in the area, and served as the second dean of the Northwestern University Dental School, which became know as the largest and most outstanding institution of its kind under his administration.
Dr. Black contributed to the advancement of dental science by standardizing operative procedures and providing uniformity in the manufacture of amalgam, cavity preparation and dental terminology. His development of dental amalgams, over 150 years ago, set the standards for formulae, clinical use and techniques. He provided the first dental identification and categorization of dental procedures to restore diseased or injured teeth. Among his dental inventions were the foot-powered drill engine and the gnathodynamometer for measuring bite force.
Scope and Content
The Northwestern University G.V. Black digitized collection contains 43 manuscripts, 100 letters and several photographs covering the period between 1867 and 1915. Some of the more important items in the collection are: correspondence between Dr. Black and Dr. Frederick S. McKay from the turn of the century that focus on mottled enamel of teeth and early hypotheses on water and fluoridation; correspondence, program announcements and other memorabilia from the World Dental Congress held in conjunction with the World's Columbian Exposition in 1893; a manuscript on zoo chemistry.
Arrangement of Materials
The collection is organized into four series: (I) Manuscripts on general subjects; (II) Correspondence between G.V. Black and F.S. McKay on mottled enamel of teeth; (III) Documents, correspondence, memorabilia, and a photograph relating to the World's Columbian Dental Congress, Chicago, Illinois, 1893; (IV) Photographs.

Summary: Between 1908 and 1915
Dr. Black and Dr. McKay, a practicing dentist in Colorado, had a running
discussion concerning mottled teeth, or Colorado Brown Stain. Dr. Black spent
the summer of 1909 in Colorado Springs to gather information and make
observations. Their work culminated in the publication of Mottled teeth: an
endemic developmental imperfection of the enamel of the teeth heretofore
unknown in the literature of dentistry. (See:
Dental cosmos, 1916; vol. 58, pp. 129-153,
477-484, 627-644, 781-792, 894-904)After Dr. Black's death, McKay continued their studies and
discovered that fluoride in drinking water was the causal agent of the
imperfection, noting the effect on enamel, but the lack of dental caries in
those who had the condition. This was a critical breakthrough in understanding
the etiology and prevention of dental caries. This discovery is the foundation
for water fluoridation, which is the single most effective public health
measure to inhibit tooth decay.
