Liverpool University Dental School This school has its origins in the Liverpool Dispensary for Diseases of the Teeth, founded by Captain WJ Newman in 1860. Liverpool Dental Hospital merged with Liverpool University Dental School to form Liverpool University Dental Hospital in 1920. Innovations included the first Parodontal (forerunner of Periodontology) Department in 1936, and the first Professor of Dental Sciences – Professor Rodger Hartles in 1963. A rebuild of the Liverpool University Dental Hospital building was completed in 1969. In 2003, Professor Cynthia Pine CBE became the first woman Dean of a dental school in the United Kingdom. This tie (20403.1 – condition, well worn) dates back to 1946.
