Schwerpunkt: Objekte als Quellen der Medizingeschichte
Research with a special focus on the historical dental surgical instruments of the Juliusspital inWürzburg does not yet exist. This is a desideratum, as the objects preserved in the HistoricalCollections of the University of Würzburg can contribute to a deeper understanding of theprofessionalisation of dentistry in the 19th century. Only their analysis, together with that of thewritten sources, provides a complete picture of this process. The aim of this research project isto investigate the professionalisation and academisation of dentistry, especially dental surgery,in Würzburg and Lower Franconia in the 19th century using the historical dental surgical instrumentsof the Juliusspital as a material source for medical history.
