“Teeth Transformations: Modifications for Self-Expression”
This new Atrium exhibit features the many ways that people across cultures and centuries have modified their teeth for self-expression rather than for health and function.
The exhibit, opening in June 2022, will include audio clips of current SOD students predicting the future of teeth modifications for self-expression.
Interested students should record 10-20 second audio files and submit them via email to dentalmuseum@umich.edu. Staff at the Museum will notify the students whose audio clips have been selected. Your audio should be free of background noise and sound something like this:
“My name is ____________ and I predict that people _____ years from now will express themselves by modifying their teeth in the following way: _____________________________________________.”
Submission Deadline: July 15, 2022
Call for Artworks - DENTAL STUDENTS
A new exhibit, opening this fall at the Sindecuse Museum of Dentistry, posits that the manual dexterity, and other skills required to succeed in dentistry, necessitates a creative mind. Many professionals working in dentistry maintain creative outlets and hobbies outside of their practices. This exhibit examines a variety of visual, musical, and performance arts from the U-M SOD faculty, students, and alumni in order to illuminate the many ways dentists express themselves through art.
This program is in collaboration with the University of Michigan Arts Initiative
Deadline to vote is May 15, 2022

The History of Sports Dentistry
The History of Sanitation in the Dental Care Industry
The Tooth Worm
