Between the two world wars several medical journals were published in Transylvania for shorter or longer periods of time fully or partly in Hungarian language. Only dentistry had its own periodicals, two for dentists (Revista Stomatologica--Stomatologiai Szemle 1823-1940, Stomatologia 1929-1937) and one for dental technicians (Viata Dentara--Dentistisches Fachblatt--Fogászati Szaklap 1934). Because of the difficulties in their accessibility little or inaccurate data have been published so far on these journals. It is the main goal of the present paper to give an overview on these journals, which are very valuable not just for their professional merits but also for their historic value.

Solyman Brown 1790-1876), widely hailed by his contemporary literary establishment as the poet laureate of dentistry," was one of the visionary individuals who put dentistry on a true foundation of professionalism. He was instrumental in the formation of the first dental journal, the first national dental society, and the first dental school. He is one of the true giants in the history of American dentistry. Solyman Brown's great-great-grandson was cleaning out his father's attic and found a trunk full of original material relating to his illustrious forebear. Among the wealth of material was a notebook kept by Solyman's daughter, Augusta. Selections from it give us a rare personal insight into the type of person this significant dental historical figure was, as well as the struggles he endured in his hard life.
