DENTAL X-RAY PHOTOGRAPHY PIONEER- Professor Doctor WILHELM DIECK - (Jan.12,1867-Feb.28,1935)

Professor Doctor Dieck developed the first practical technique for dental x-ray photography, making it possible to use this highly accurate diagnostic aid routinely in dental practice.

Born and lived in Germany , he was one of the most important pioneers of x-ray photography. After long and arduous work with primitive x-ray apparatus of that time, he published his x-ray atlas. This atlas is still important in maxillary therapy and medical science dealing with the head. Professor Doctor Dieck is given the credit for having introduced the routine use of x-ray photography into the practice of all dentists, thereby insuring proper diagnosis and therapy.
