History of the Program:
In 1923 farsighted Oklahoma Dentists established a dental service in the then fledgling Oklahoma Medical Center in Oklahoma City. Francis J. Reichmann, a 1923 dental graduate of the University of Michigan, was named the first resident dentist. Dr. Reichmann, then twenty-five years old, was a Purple Heart veteran of the First World War. He had an appointment to the Mayo Foundation in Minnesota, but he elected to be a pioneer in Oklahoma. In the ensuing fifty-two years, Oklahoma provided to be the beneficiary of that decision. Following the Second World War, in which Dr. Reichmann served five years as a field artillery officer, not a dentist, the program became an oral surgery residency. Council on the Dental Education approval came in 1959. Francis Reichmann was Chairman of the Dental School study committee that helped pass the HERO bond issue in the 1960s that built the school’s building as part of the Health Sciences Center campus in Oklahoma City. He is widely acknowledged as being the prime founder of the Dental School, and his bust resides in the halls of the College of Dentistry. Many of us in the practice of Oral Surgery in Oklahoma, the nation, and yes, throughout the world, are indebted to Francis Reichmann, and it is to him that this history is dedicated.
