Charles Henry Land (1847–1922) was a dentist who pioneered porcelain and gold teeth crowns.[1] His brother, John Christian Lodge (1862–1950), was the 51st, 54th, and 56th mayor of Detroit.[2] Land was the grandfather of aviator Charles Lindbergh (1902–1974).
Personal life[edit]
Land was born in Canada West on January 11, 1847. On April 28, 1875, he married Evangeline Lodge (1850–1919). They had two children: Evangeline Lodge Land Lindbergh (1876–1954) and Charles H. Land II (1881–1961). Land is known as the father of porcelain and gold crowns.[3] In 1889, he patented the platinum foil matrix for porcelain jacket crowns.[4] His New-York Tribune obituary credits him as the inventor of the gold and porcelain inlay system. Land practiced dentistry for 58 years.[5][3]
