Introduction:
Iranians have a very honourable past in traditional medicine. One of the most famous Iranian scientists in medical field is Razes (925 A.D). He has created the great medical encyclopedia of “Alhavi” (25 vols.) which contains most subjects and principles of medical science. One of these subjects is dentistry, which contains definitions, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of the dental and oral cavity diseases and associated medical care which leads to oral health and management of the patient.
In this article, a comparison was made between the scientific basis of traditional medicine and Razes view about dentistry and modern principles of dentistry.
