Pierre Fauchard (1678 – March 22, 1761), was a significant French physician and is considered the "father of modern dentistry". He is widely known for his book, Le chirurgien dentiste, "The Surgeon Dentist" (1728), where he described the basic oral anatomy and function, signs and symptoms of oral pathology, operative methods for removing decay and restoring teeth, periodontal disease (pyorrhea), orthodontics, replacement of missing teeth, and tooth transplantation. His book is said to be the first complete scientific description of dentistry. During his book and his life Fauchard denounced how many patients were victims of quackery by dental charlatans. Pierre encouraged his students and friends not to take seriously the highly injurious techniques used by charlatans. He warned his medical readers that nitric acid and sulfuric acid on teeth to remove tartar are potentially dangerous and taught how to identify false dental fillings. Doctor Fauchard became a model for all dentists to come, and influenced many young minds during the Enlightenment. Fauchard died at the age of 83 in Paris, France, on March 22, 1761.

Denton True "Cy" Young (March 29, 1867 – November 4, 1955) was an American baseball player who pitched for five different major league teams from 1890 to 1911. He established numerous professional pitching records during his 22-year career in the majors, some of which have stood for a century. Young retired with 511 career wins, the most in MLB history and 94 more wins than Walter Johnson, who is second on the list. In honor of Young's contributions to Major League Baseball, MLB created the Cy Young Award, an annual award given to the pitcher voted the most effective in each of the two leagues. The Baseball Hall of Fame elected Young in 1939. During his professional career, Young won at least 30 games in a season five times, with ten other seasons of 20+ wins. He also pitched three no-hitters, including the first perfect game of baseball's "modern era." In addition to wins, Young holds the MLB records for most career innings pitched (7,355), most career games started (815), and most complete games (749). He also retired with 316 losses the most in MLB history (the only other pitcher with more than 300 career losses was Pud Galvin). Young had 76 career shutouts, fourth most in history. In 1999, 88 years after his final Major League appearance and 44 years after his death, editors at The Sporting News ranked Cy Young 14th on their list of "Baseball's 100 Greatest Players". That same year, baseball fans named Young to the Major League Baseball All-Century Team. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
