Hello Dr. Hall……..I contacted you some years back regarding my father’s invention known today as the Maryland Bridge. Thank you so much for publishing the truth! It is getting more and more internet hits! I am going to do a video interview with his colleague Dr. Harvey Oury, who knows the whole story. He is 89 years old and would be so happy to help. I wanted to correct one thing that maybe was misunderstood as I have the same name as my father. Dr. Stewart R Halbauer never lived or practiced in Atlanta. He only practices and invented the Maryland Bridge technique in Cincinnati. I, Stewart R Halbauer II, did live in Atlanta some years ago and having the same name led to the confusion I am sure. Thank you so much for getting the word out about my father.

Chip,
Thanks for the update.
If you’d like, you could get us a copy of the video you shoot and we could publish it to our YouTube account.
Meanwhile, I will post your comments.
Prompted by your email, I checked several AI engines with the question, “Who invented the Maryland Bridge?” ChatGPT and Gemini got it wrong, but Perplexity posted information about your father. We maybe need to make a little more noise about this. There are a number of dental blogs who use my posts here as source material, and I’ll try to encourage them to post this in more places. Plus, if we get that video, we can post some links to that from various places.
Thanks,
Dr. Hall
