A recent trip to University College Cork in my role as BDS External Examiner led to a chance encounter with a retiring colleague who has had an esteemed career in dentistry. While sitting in his office, I noticed a whole back catalogue of Dental Update going back as far as 1982. My colleague explained how throughout his illustrious career, Dental Update had served him very well and kindly offered me the set to take away with me.
