Donald H. Enlow (January 22, 1927 – July 5, 2014) was an American scientist known for his contributions to field of orthodontics through his work and understanding of the process of growth and development, especially of the human facial structure.
He was named the Thomas J. Hill Distinguished Professor of Physical Biology after he joined the Case Western Reserve University Orthodontic Department as its chair in 1977.
After finishing his dissertation, Enlow co-authored 3 papers titled "A Comparative Histological Study of Fossil and Recent Bone Tissues" in Texas Journal of Science with Dr. Brown.
These papers were important because they helped established a field of research in which bone growth and the life history of an organism were articulated from a Paleohistology point of view.
Before his death, he gave the collection as a gift to Hard Tissue Research Unit at New York University College of Dentistry.
