Resumen de Reflections on a Passionate Dental Historian, Colleague, Clinician and Educator Dr. Edward F. Leone (1923–2002)
For years in dental school settings, the teaching of dental history was extolled and emphasized as to the roots of the dental profession. Many colleagues can probably cite the names of those who contributed to this achievement within their academic environments.
Most of these academicians were also clinicians who valued the role of history in the progression of dentistry as a respected profession. One such individual was Dr. Edward F. Leone who passionately imbued the historical values of our profession into each student. This article is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Leone and tribute to his legacy that he provided to hundreds of dental professionals for almost 50 years at the Marquette University School of Dentistry.
