Georg Carabelli

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Carabelli (1787–1842) was a prominent Hungarian dentist and professor of dental surgery in Vienna.

Georg Carabelli was a court dentist of the Austrian Emperor Franz and a founder of stomatological clinic at the Vienna University. The tubercle of Carabelli, a small additional cusp on the mesiolingual corner of upper molars, was first illustrated in his textbook of oral anatomy, published in 1842, and later described in his handbook of dentistry, published posthumously in 1844. He wrote numerous textbooks and monographs.
