Pierre Fauchard was a native of Brittany. His notable work, "Le Chirurgien-Dentiste", published in Paris in 1728, became a classic in Dentistry. Fauchard became noted as the leading exponent of Dentistry of his time and numbered among his patients many of the crowned heads of Europe. His method of the treatment of Pyorrhea by surgical means has been but little improved upon up to this time. He became so noted in this respect that Pyorrhea was, and still is, known as "Fauchard's Disease."
