“…Sherman and Caldwell8 reported that histidine and tryptophane have a unique inhibitory effect on the amyloclastic phase of starch digestion. Florestano, Faber, and James, 9 Turner and Crane,10 and Sullivan and Storvick5 have reported that high activity of the amyloclastic enzyme is associated with proneness to dental decay. Sullivan and Storvick further reported a correlation between buffer capacity and starch hydrolyzing time.…”

“…At any rate, it can be shown clinically that very well calcified teeth develop cavities frequently and that teeth with gross hypoplasia -tooth crowns even deformed-may not develop any cavities at all."' 40 In well calcified teeth probably not more than 2 per cent of the enamel is organic material, leaving 98 per cent of the enamel surface that can be dissolved by acids. Whether this surface is 90 or is 98 per cent mineral should make little difference to the chemical action which initiates caries.…”

EVERY dentist should pause long enough to ask himself the question that many others frequently ask, "What, anyhow, can dentistry contribute to a child's health?"Were each operator to ponder his answer thoroughly, unemotionally, and scientifically, he should answer: " Dentistry, (1) with family codperation, can control most children's dental caries;(2) can, with the child's codperation, prevent or control soft tissue inflammation and disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth-and even can establish a regime of home care and periodic office treatment that will prevent much of the periodontal disease of adult life; (3) can, with specialist cooperation, correct maloccluding teeth, and prevent a relatively small number of the gross tooth irregularities that may interfere with mastication, with the health of the supporting tissues, and with the emotional stability of a young person; (4) can, with specialist cooperation, treat the problems arising from anomalies of the oral cavity-the cleft palate, congenitally missing teeth, supernumerary teeth, hypoplastic teeth, and other developmental dental abnormalities; (5) can treat and restore young teeth involved in accidents; (6) can detect oral cancer in the early stages; (7) can prevent and eliminate oral infection which may contribute to body disease."
