Juljan Zilz (born November 24, 1871 in Lemberg , † July 18, 1930 in Vienna ) was an Austrian stomatologist and writer.

Life

Juljan Zilz came from a Jewish family in Lemberg and completed a medical degree in Vienna , which he completed in 1893 with a doctorate . He then worked in dental clinics in various garrison towns. Before the First World War he was regimental chief physician and episcopal school dentist in Karlsberg (Hungary) .

After the outbreak of the First World War, Zilz had three mobile dental clinics built, with which it was possible to react flexibly to acts of war. In 1914 in Lublin he became head of the war dental clinic of the IV. Austro-Hungarian Army , where more than 3000 jaw injuries were treated. From May 1915 until its closure due to territorial losses in early 1918, the Lublin War Dental Clinic was housed in a monastery, schools and barracks. At the Lublin War Dental Clinic, Zilz did extensive research - unusual for a clinic at the front. In the course of this research, Zilz had artists make moulages of facial injuries, and a large number of drawings and photographs of facial injuries were made. In 1918 the war dental clinic was relocated to Vienna and merged there with the Reserve Hospital No. 17 under the command of Juljan Zilz.

Zilz, who completed his habilitation at the University of Vienna in 1914 , wrote numerous articles “from the field” and continued to work as a journalist after the war. In his publications, which he expanded to all areas of dentistry and stomatology , he addressed his own clinical methods and experiences, gave lectures from numerous specialist journals, provided reviews and translated from publications in English, French, Italian and Polish. In addition, as a science historian , he dealt with the history of his field.

Juljan Zilz died at the age of 59 in Vienna and was buried on July 21, 1930 at the Vienna Central Cemetery. His final resting place is there at 1st Gate, Group 52, Row 11, Grave 22. Juljan Zilz's estate, including moulages, photographs and other research material from the Lublin War Dental Clinic, is in the Vienna Dental Museum.
