Career

In 1941, Glickman joined the Tufts University faculty[2] and became chair of the Department of Periodontology in 1948.[2]

In the 1950s, Glickman developed the bone factor concept about the factors that determine the severity of periodontal destruction,[3] and developed a classification system for furcation involvement[4]

In 1965, Glickman proposed a theory involving the relation of occlusal trauma to periodontal disease which led to further research in animal models.[5]

Personal life and death

In 1954, Glickman married his student, Violeta Arboleda. Violeta had five sisters including Esmeralda, and Mireya. Glickman and Arboleda had a son, Alan, and a daughter, Denise.[6]

Legacy

In January 2012, Tufts University School of Dental Medicine dedicated the periodontology library to Glickman, naming it in his honor.[2]
