These 24 specimens and their accompanying index cards, that form the ‘Diseases of Teeth’ collection, provide an insight into the range of problems faced by patients, and the (often brutal) history of dentistry in England.The film and sculptural artworks in the installation are based on thousands of microtomography scans of these tooth specimens produced by Dr David Mills, a researcher at Queen Mary University of London.

It was built in 1879 for the express purpose of housing anatomical specimens to be used by those studying medicine, and is still in use by QMUL's medical students today, for teaching, exams and study. The museum is therefore only open to the public, alumni and other interested parties for scheduled events organised around academic usage. As a result, these events sell out quickly.
