John Hunter labored long, arduous hours with mind and hand to originally describe the anatomy and classification of the teeth.
He was born near Glasgow, Scotland. His masterpiece, "The Natural History of the Human Teeth", was published in 1771. This publication became the foundation of all anatomical texts on anatomy of the jaws and teeth up to the present time. He was the first to attempt a classification of the teeth and his classification stands today practically as presented by him originally.
