Personal life

Land was born in Ontario, Canada on January 11, 1847 to John Scott Land (1821–1865) and Sarah Ellen Hayden (1828–1850).[2] On April 28, 1875, he married Evangeline Lodge (1850–1919). They had two children: Evangeline Lodge Land Lindbergh (1876–1954) and Charles H. Land II (1881–1961). Dr Land is known as the father of porcelain and gold crowns.[6] In 1889, he patented the platinum foil matrix for porcelain jacket crowns.[7] His New-York Tribune obituary credits him as the inventor of the gold and porcelain inlay system. Land practiced dentistry for 58 years.[8][6]
