Title A name given to the resource Visualising Medical Heritage Description An account of the resource From 2017 to 2019, the heritage team undertook a visualisation project funded by Museums Galleries Scotland known as "Visualising Medical Heritage". Through this project we created a variety of different digital heritage products, including animations, 3D digital models, and VR games. Visualising medical heritage is something we continue to do today. These visualisation products tell the stories of groundbreaking work carried out by Fellows and Members throughout history, and how their work changed the practice of medicine and surgery for the better.

Title A name given to the resource Tooth Extraction with Dental Key Description An account of the resource Before the invention of the dental forceps in the 19th century, teeth were extracted using a variety of dental instruments. One such instrument was the "dental key", named as such due to its mechanism of use. If a tooth was to be extracted, the dentist, (or barber surgeon), would take the tooth key and place the claw around the affected tooth. They would then turn the key as if trying to open a lock and extract the tooth. This technique was not particularly successful and would often lead to the crown of the tooth being cracked off, leaving the root still embedded in the jaw. Thankfully, the regular use of the tooth key was phased out in the 19th century due to the introduction of the dental forceps. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/e1Z540LAalw?rel=0" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> Relation A related resource <a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/735" target="_blank">Dental Forceps</a> <div><a href="https://heritage.rcpsg.ac.uk/items/show/534" target="_blank">Tooth Key</a></div> Animation Dentistry Visualization
