Wilhelm Dieck was born on January 12, 1867 in Würzburg (according to another source near Essen ). After graduating from high school, he studied dentistry in Berlin from 1885 . Here he took the exam in 1887 and then worked as a research assistant under Friedrich Carl Ferdinand Busch and Willoughby D. Miller . In 1896 he received his doctorate in Würzburg. In 1907 he became an associate professor, head of the Conservation Department of the Dental Institute of the University of Berlin, and thus successor to Miller. From 1924 until his death he was the managing director of the Dental Institute. In 1929 he became a member of the "International Association For Dental Research" (IADR).

Wilhelm Dieck died in Berlin in 1935 at the age of 68 and was buried in the Dahlem forest cemetery. The grave has not been preserved.

Scientific importance

Together with Otto Walkhoff , Dieck managed the integration of X-ray technology into dentistry. However , he did not publish the half-angle technique , which was often ascribed to him , in his textbook until 1911. It had previously been described in 1907 by the Polish dentist Antoni Cieszyński , who was then working in Munich .

Dieck played a major role in the rehabilitation of the amalgam in the wake of the amalgam controversy in the 1920s.
