The Dental Library has compiled an archival web page in honor Dr. F. Harold Wirth, a former faculty member who’s influence is still felt in the Dental School more than 20 years after his death.
The late Dr. F. Harold Wirth, longtime professor at the LSU Dental School, was known around campus for his jovial manner and trademark greeting, “How’s your PMA?” That’s Positive Mental Attitude. He developed a comprehensive approach to dentistry and living that centered on balancing the key areas of work, play, love and worship. He believed that trust, the priceless ingredient in any relationship, is the natural result of sincerely caring about the patient. From trust comes quality which leads to excellence, career satisfaction, compensation and contentment.
Thanks to the hard work of Joe Plummer, Dental Library Associate, this page is still growing and more information will be added regularly so please continue to check it.
Both the Dental & Isché Libraries are closed today (February 16th) in honor of Mardi Gras. Hope you’re having a great day!

If you’re like me and a fan of the TV show Bones, you might enjoy these two new additions to the library:
The Bone Lady : Life As A Forensic Anthropologist.
Trail Of Bones : More Cases From The Files Of A Forensic Anthropologist.
As director of the Forensic Anthropology and Computer Enhancement Services (FACES) Laboratory at Louisiana State University, Mary H. Manhein unravels mysteries of life and death every day. A fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences and an expert on the human skeleton, Manhein assists law enforcement officials across the country in identifying bodies and solving criminal cases. Manhein reveals the everyday realities of forensic anthropology. Going beyond the stereotypes portrayed on television, this real-life crime scene investigator unveils a gritty, exhausting, exacting, alternately rewarding and frustrating world where teamwork supersedes individual heroics and some cases unfortunately remain unsolved. A natural storyteller, Manhein provides gripping accounts of dozens of cases from her twenty-four-year career. Some of them are famous, others less well-known but equally compelling. Possessing both compassion and tenacity, Mary Manhein has an extraordinary gift for telling a life story through bones. Trail of Bones takes readers on an entertaining and educating walk in the shoes of this remarkable scientist who has dedicated her life to providing justice for those no longer able to speak for themselves.
Both books are located at the Dental Library and can be checked out.
