Dr Brahman Pearlman
Dr Braham Pearlman was a progressive practitioner in periodontology. He believed in the importance of prevention and high clinical standards and was instrumental in the introduction of dental hygienists into private practice and implants into specialist periodontal practice. He studied dentistry at the University of Sydney, graduated in 1960, then joined the Royal
Australian Air Force and served until 1962 as a dental officer at bases in Richmond, Darwin and
Ballarat. He remained active in the force for life and rose to group captain. In 1993, he was
awarded the Reserve Force Decoration.
After his time with the RAAF, Pearlman went to London, where he first went into private
practice for a year then did postgraduate study at the Eastman Dental School. He then went to Boston, where he completed a masters degree in periodontics. He returned to London in 1969 and took up a lectureship in the periodontal department at London Hospital Medical College Dental Institute at Whitechapel.
