Dental Deans of King’s College School of Medicine & Dentistry (1923–1998)

In 1998 King's College School of Medicine and Dentistry merged with the United Medical and Dental Schools of Guy's and St Thomas' and King's College London to become the Dental Institute of KCL. At that point Professor Frank Ashley, Dean of UMDS, became the Dental Institute's first dean. This paper tells the story of dentistry at King's and the notable people who led it from its origins up to that point.
