The first patent of the “Charles Goodyear Dental Vulcanite Company” was filed in the United States in 1851. It was the birth of “Vulcanite”, a material made from rubber resin: From sulfurized and vulcanized rubber to heat under high pressure. Apolloni Pierre Préterre (1821-1893), Parisian dentist of American training, founder of “L'Art Dentaire”, a professional journal which appeared in 1856, was one of the first to popularize the new Vulcanite dentures in Europe. Ceramic teeth, manufactured in small series as early as 1834 by LA Billard in Paris, as well as in London at Claudius Ash, were produced in larger series in Philadelphia, United States, by Samuel Stockton White.
