This hospital has more than 110 years of history of providing patient care and dental education. The original dental hospital – The Incorporated Dental Hospital of Ireland, located off St Stephen’s Green, Dublin, was established in 1879. The decision to establish a dental school was made in 1882. In 1899 the dental hospital and school moved to Lincoln’s Place, Dublin. For many, different reasons 1940 to 1994 was a difficult time for the University Hospital. Following a long-awaited decision, a new clinical building was built and the existing facilities refurbished in 1988, with additional facilities being added in 2010. Since 1998, the Trinity College School of Dental Sciences has been located in the University Hospital. The original Dublin Dental Hospital tie (21596.1– condition, good/ later wider blade version 21596.2 – condition good), dates back to at least the 1970s.
