“Jean-Baptiste Gariot (1761-1835) is recognised worldwide as the inventor of the first hinged dental articulator. From 1798 to 1808, he was dentist and surgeon to the royal family of Charles IV of Spain. In 1807, Gariot completed a work on diseases of the mouth, which he submitted to the Paris Medical Society for approval. On 8 November, he presented it to the Governmental Board of Surgeons and asked its members to persuade the King to allow him to dedicate it; on 26 November, Gimbernat, Galli, Vullier and Lacaba replied that it would have to be translated into Castilian or Latin to be approved. The work was published in French the following year in Paris by the printing house L. Duprat-Duverger… In discovering his life, which was both glorious and difficult, one cannot help but become attached to the author of Traité des maladies de la bouche. It is a true work of odontostomatology, rich in in-depth medical knowledge, original thinking, innovative concepts and recommendations” (see : Javier Sanz & Micheline Ruel-Kellermann, Jean Baptiste Gariot, Sa vie – son œuvre, Madrid).

A good copy.
