Introduction: To do research into our history is a need, since somebody has said: “…there is not possible national history without local history”. This reason and the authors’ commitment with the place where they were born are strong motivations to carry out this study.
Objective: Contribute to recover the Quemado de Güines dentistry’s history.
Methods: The investigation started with a documental search which confirmed there was not any official publication concerning events, people and development of dentistry in this municipality of Villa Clara province. Historical methods were used. Data´s sources were testimonies and information given by people and documents in archives, using different techniques to collect them.
Results: Preliminary outcomes from documental revision, personal interviews and request are shown in this paper. There is not any official publication concerning events, important persons and evolution of dentistry in Quemado de Güines; it is proposed a division into three periods or ages to write the local dentistry´s history and it´s been proved that the first professional of dentistry who settled in this municipality was Dr. Graciela Roura Pulido, in 1928.
Final considerations: So, this paper has contributed with the first notes to recover the Quemado de Güines dentistry’s history.
