Life
George H. Wilson was born the son of dentist David C. Wilson and his wife Marion F., née Flanders. At the age of 19 he began his dental training in his father's practice in Painesville. Two years later he moved to the dental faculty of the University of Michigan where he graduated in 1878 as a Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS). In 1891 he was appointed professor of clinical prosthetics at the Cleveland University of Medicine and Surgery . A year later he became professor of prosthetic dentistry and metallurgy at Case Western Reserve University , where he taught until his retirement in 1918. He then continued his work as an associate professor in the prosthetic department at the University of Southern California .
The Wilson curve was named after him. It is important when setting up artificial teeth in the calotte articulation of full dentures . The posterior teeth of a lower jaw prosthesis are set up - from the chewing surface - against a dome-shaped arched template and form a transversal compensation curve. In this way, a bilateral “balanced” occlusion is achieved later in function (when chewing). The curvature of the calotte depends on the inclination of the cusp of the denture teeth and the inclination of the condylar path.
