The University of Michigan School of Dentistry unveiled its Hall of Honor in 2003.  Funded by the Sindecuse Museum of Dentistry, the Hall of Honor pays tribute to legends of the dental profession, all deceased, who once were associated with the University of Michigan School of Dentistry.

Eighteen individuals were the first to be inducted into the Hall in 2003. Eight were inducted in 2004 and six were inducted in 2005.  Their names, post-graduate degrees, a head and shoulder image of each person, and a short narrative describing his or her achievements, are on separate plaques mounted on a wall between rooms G508 and G524 in the Kellogg Building.

A committee of the School’s Alumni Society Board of Governors reviews and approves the nominees each year and the names are submitted to the Dean. Among those inducted were deans, founding faculty members who shaped standards for dentistry in Michigan, a professor who persuaded leaders in many communities to add fluoride to their water supplies, a pioneer in pediatric dentistry, a dental investigator who conducted long-term studies on the effectiveness of various periodontal treatment procedures, and the first director of the School’s dental hygiene program.

The 32 inducted into the Hall of Honor are listed below (alphabetical order, last name). A brief description of the achievements of each is available by clicking a name.
