Abstract

The fact that this Symposium has been arranged to discuss the way in which the food .~ we take can influence the development and calcification of our teeth is an indication that there are still many gaps in our knowledge. It is a subject that has attracted many research workers and a mere review of all the work that has been done on this highly complex problem would fill several volumes. In a short paper I can only attempt to deal with a limited field and record in a few words the results of work that may have taken months or years of arduous labour and much imaginative thought.
