The number of dentists in Denmark is about no. In the
capital, Copenhagen, between 50 and 60 practice. In 1893 there
were 3 lady dentists practicing in Denmark.
Regarding dental journalism in Denmark we find that Jan-
uary 1, 1885, the first number of Ska?idi?iavisk Tidskrift for Tand-
Iceger (Scandinavian Journal for Dentists) was issued from Copen-
hagen by V. Haderup and O. Klepsch. This journal was later
edited by R. Martin, from Stockholm, Sweden, the name having
been changed to Skandinavisk Tidskrift for Tandlakare. It died
out at the end of the year 1889, but reappeared in 1892, then
under the name of Skandi?iaviska Tandlakare-F'6reni?ige?is Tidskrift,
and was again issued from Copenhagen During 1892 and 1893
it was edited from that place, Dr. Carl Christensen being its edi-
tor-in-chief. Since January, 1894, the journal has been edited from
Helsingfors, Finland, its editor-in-chief being Dr. Matti Ayrapaa.
The journal is issued quarterly.

It was about 1883, 1885 and 1886 that some persons, especially
practicing qualified dentists, more and more came to feel the
necessity of regulations for the practice of dentistry in Finland.
Their first efforts and representations did not amount to much,
and the old state of things remained unchanged.
