H. Trendley Dean papers, 1914-1961 (bulk 1931-1961).

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/50124892

Most of the documents in the collection are related to Dr. Dean's research at the National Institutes of Health (1931-1953) and as Secretary of the Council on Dental Research for the American Dental Association (1953-1959). The material in the Research Series is related to Dean's activities during his career with the United States Public Health Service. It consists of some very general documents related to his work with the American Dental Association's Committee for Dental Health Survey and the National Research Council. The mottled teeth and fluoride portion of the Research Series contain correspondence with Dr. Frederick McKay and with various dentists and water treatment personnel concerning the fluorine content of drinking water and its effect on the dentition and health of those living in the Pikes Peak watershed area. Similar material exists for selected cities and states across the country. Also included are a number of manuscripts and radio scripts related to mottled teeth and fluorine. Most of the efforts to promote and defend the fluoridation of public water supplies occurred after Dean retired from the United States Public Health Service and had become the Secretary of the Council on Dental Research for the American Dental Association. The correspondence and manuscripts generated during this time are to be found in the Council on Dental Research Series. Many charts and tables used and cited in the preparation of manuscripts and Congressional testimonies are included.
