Irving Glickman (January 17, 1914 – October 2, 1972) was an American clinical researcher described as "the father of periodontology"[1] and an author. He was one of the first to classify furcation defects and the role of occlusal trauma on periodontal disease.[2]
Career
In 1941, Glickman joined the Tufts University faculty[1] and became chair of the Department of Periodontology in 1948.[1]
In the 1950s, Glickman developed the bone factor concept about the factors that determine the severity of periodontal destruction,[3] and developed a classification system for furcation involvement[4]
In 1965, Glickman proposed a theory involving the relation of occlusal trauma to periodontal disease which led to further research in animal models.[5]
Philanthropy
Glickman served as the chairman of the Combined Jewish Philanthropies (CJP) of Boston.[6]
Personal life and death
In 1954, Glickman married his student, Violeta Arboleda. Violeta had five sisters including Esmeralda, and Mireya. Glickman and Arboleda had a son, Alan, and a daughter, Denise.[7]
He died on October 2, 1972 at Tufts–New England Medical Center in Boston.[6]
Legacy
In January 2012, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine dedicated the periodontology library to Glickman, naming it in his honor.[1]
