Abstract
Among the numerous specimens preciously preserved in the Anatomical and Embryological Museum of ULB, there lies also a dental collection assembled by Professor Hyacinthe Brabant. This collection, previously unlabelled, shows several dental anomalies and pathologies as well as tumours. The objective of our study was to conduct an inventory of this collection and to set up an electronic iconographic tool through the Iconography website of ULB. A descriptive study was carried out and it was based on the analysis of 125Â models and 90Â extracted human teeth. The inspection of the models showed some non-odontological tumours as well as multiple dental anomalies. The extracted teeth showed generalised, coronal or radicular anomalies. The conducted inventory allowed us to classify and label the specimens and therefore to showcase this dental collection which is unique owing to its rich content and didactic display. Finally, the iconographic site will be a useful tool to raise awareness about several dental pathologies and anomalies among students and young practionners.
