Who was Abulcasis?
History Behind The Alliance Name
In the history of surgery and dentistry, the greatest name in the Islamic period is Abulcasis of Cordova (1013 – 1106 A.D.). He was the first to write on the practical methods of treatment of deformities of the mouth and dental arches. His books contain numerous illustrations of dental and surgical instruments, some of which are still copied and only modified for modern surgery. He was the first to thoroughly discuss dental calculus from a theoretical and practical point of view in a chapter titled On the Scraping of the Teeth. He described its harmful effect on the gingiva and recommended its regular removal. His set of 14 scaling instruments is illustrated in one of his books. He also recommended, along with regular scaling, the polishing of teeth with fine abrasives until they were white.

Al-Zahrawi lived in the state of Al-Andalus, an Islamic-controlled country on the Iberian Peninsular, which is now Spain. He wrote the Kitab al-Tasrif, an encyclopedia of medical and surgical practices that became the main medical textbook for hundreds of years.
