Victor Abraham Goldman (1903-1993) a pioneer of dental anaesthesia.

Victor Goldman specialised in dental anaesthesia from an early age. He published his research all over the world and demonstrated how safety could be improved and how important monitoring of the anaesthetised patient should be. He made films, wrote books, created courses, and invented a myriad of apparatus to improve the speciality and to show trainees how dental anaesthesia should be performed. He was outspoken in his views and although well respected by his peers he did not receive many tangible accolades until the twilight of his career. His passing was hardly recorded, and his name is largely forgotten. He deserves wider recognition for his broad depth of contribution to his speciality.
