A flap fixed with two hooks shows the complete section of the dentition up to the roots, in evidence the circulatory system, the roots and two caries, a molar is extracted and divided into two parts. All parts are numbered. Good condition, some small cracks. German manufacture of the late 19th century. Length 42 cm - 16.5 inches, height 22 cm - 8.6 inches, thickness 11 cm - 4.3 inches.
The first documents which referred to the dental extraction date back to the Code of Hammurabi, dated around 1800 BC: tooth extraction in this case is a punishment and not a cure. Both Aristotle and Hippocrates describe the extraction of teeth. In the Middle Ages the monks looked after dental extraction, an operation then passed to the barbers: various papal edicts forbade to those who belong to religious orders this type of intervention. The first book known which fully covered the dentistry was the Büchlein Artzney published in 1530. The instruments were not particularly sophisticated: from the "pelican", instrument for extraction attributed to the French surgeon Guy de Chauliac in the fourteenth century, to the "turn-key dental" introduced in the eighteenth century, later ousted by modern clamps.
