description Prof. Dr. Gheorghe Bilaşcu (1863–1926) was one of the founders of the Romanian Faculty of Medicine in Cluj. At this Faculty, in 1919/1920 he created the department and the clinic of dentistry. These two achievements were accomplished for the first time in Romania. Normally, his contribution should have been appreciated both during his life and after his death. Also, his name would be expected to be present in the large majority of Romanian medico-historians dictionaries, treatises, papers etc. Unfortunately, his posthumous appreciation was not as Bilaşcu would have deserved. In our paper we present the recognition of Gh. Bilaşcu’s contributions in the Romanian history of dentistry between 1926–2013. We divided this period into three intervals: from 1926 to 1948, the communist era, and after the anticommunist revolution (1990-present). In the first interval the achievements of Bilaşcu in the field of dentistry were very much appreciated and they were mentioned in a correct way in different medico-historical sources of information. During the communist era the name of Bilaşcu was omitted in some dictionaries, courses etc. After 1990, the important role of Bilaşcu in Romanian dentistry was put into its important place in the majority of Romanian history of medicine sources of information.
