These initial subscribers may be considered the core group of truly professional American dentists. They became the leaders of the newly born profession of dentistry.
Today, BCDS enjoys one of the most advanced dental education facilities in the world [6]. The new 12-story building in downtown Baltimore was completed in October 2006. The total cost for the establishment amount to over $140 million, the highest spent on an academic building by the State of Marylan
