The Dental Service of the French Army by Xavier Riaud in Modern Approaches in Dentistry and Oral Health Care in Lupine Publishers
Abstract
On December 1 1892, the Brouardel
law was voted which gave legal status to dental surgeons. At that point, those
who had followed appropriate studies delivered by the Faculty of Medicine were
the only ones who could practise dental surgery [1]. Therefore, it was a
profession in its infancy which enlisted during the war in 1939? On February 26
1916, a dental service was created in the infantry within the French army for
the duration of the war. That of the Navy only started on March 1st 1916. After
the Great War, only the Navy decided to dissolve its dental service for it did
not have a satisfying organization to greet its patients. In 1934, a backup dental
service was implemented once again. While they were made lieutenants in 1818,
dentists could become captains after the law voted on December 19 1934 [2]. A
few months later, dentists in the land army were attributed the same rank.
