Quintessence Publications Donated to the Dental Library
For many years, the LSU School of Dentistry has been the beneficiary of a generous donation by Quintessence Publishing Company.  In 1991, at the 10th International Symposium on Ceramics, this international publisher of high-quality dental books and journals announced that it would contribute all of its past and future publications to our dental library in honor of Dr. John McLean.  In response, the library designated all Quintessence publications as the McLean Collection. 

Dr. McLean, a researcher and private practitioner in London, was consulting professor in fixed prosthodontics and biomaterials at LSUSD and well known as the inventor of aluminous porcelain and glass cermet-ionomer cements.  His classic two-volume work, The Science and Art of Dental Ceramics, published by Quintessence in1979 and 1980, is still widely consulted.

LSUSD is quite fortunate to be the ongoing recipient of this invaluable gift from Quintessence.  The cost of books and journal subscriptions donated by Quintessence last year totalled over $4,000.00.  

We receive 11 journal subscriptions:

Chinese Journal of Dental Research
International Journal of Adult Orthodontics & Orthognathic Surgery
International Journal of Computerized Dentistry
International Journal of Oral & Maxillofacial Implants
International Journal of Periodontics & Restorative Dentistry
International Journal of Prosthodontics
Journal of Adhesive Dentistry
Journal of Oral Laser Applications
Journal of Orofacial Pain
Quintessence International
World Journal of Orthodontics

Last year we added 24 Quintessence monographs to the library:
