Francis Brodie Imlach (1819-1891) was a Scottish pioneer of modern dentistry, and the first person to use chloroform on a dental patient. He helped to raise the profile of dentistry from a back street trade to full professional status. ==Life== Born in Edinburgh in 1819, he was the son of George Imlach WS, an Edinburgh lawyer, with offices at 10 St Andrew Square.〔http://digital.nls.uk/directories/browse/pageturner.cfm?id=83400699&mode=transcription〕 Became a Licentiate of the Royal College of Surgeons in 1841 and was raised to Fellow in 1856.〔British Medical Journal: Obituaries, Jan 1892〕 He thereafter acted as Examiner to students. In 1860, together with Dr John Smith and Dr Robert Orphoot he co-founded the Edinburgh Dental Dispensary at 1 Drummond Street. He had his main dental practice at 48 Queen Street, a very prestigious address both then and now, and only a few doors from James Young Simpson's offices at 52 Queen Street.〔Dental History Magazine: Vol2 Issue 1 p.14〕 He was one of only two dentists to ever become President of the Royal College of Surgeons in Edinburgh (RCSE).〔http://historyofdentistry.co.uk/index_htm_files/2004Apr2.pdf〕 He served from 1879 to 1881. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Francis Brodie Imlach」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
