EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Science Photo Library showcases a historical model of the human upper jaw, dating back to the 1950s. Against a pristine white background, this intricate structure reveals the complexity and beauty of our dental anatomy. The teeth, depicted in striking white hues, are meticulously displayed alongside the delicate pink gums (gingiva). At the center-left, a cross-section through one of the teeth offers an even deeper insight into its internal composition. This image serves as a remarkable testament to both biology and medicine. It highlights various aspects such as tooth health, dentistry practices, and normal skeletal structures within our oral cavity. Its historical significance is evident not only in its age but also in its representation of mid-20th-century anatomical models. The superior craftsmanship and attention to detail make this print an invaluable resource for medical professionals and researchers alike. With its cut-out presentation against a clean backdrop, it seamlessly blends art with science while providing essential knowledge about human dental anatomy. As we gaze upon this still life portrayal of our own bodily organ - the upper jaw or maxilla - we are reminded of how far we have come in understanding ourselves throughout history. This photograph stands as a testament to humanity's continuous quest for knowledge about our own bodies and serves as an inspiration for future advancements in dentistry and medicine at large.
