“…Margaret Dewar compared several tests related to buffer capacity and acid production and found that they were as satisfactory as the Lactobacillus count (Dewar, 1950). Bern Lilienthal concentrated on salivary buffers (Lilienthal, 1955) and the acidogenicity of oral bacteria, where many of the oral streptococci were grouped as "Streptococcus salivarius" (Lilienthal and Spies, 1957). There was also considerable interest in the salivary mucins on the basis of their perceived role in plaque formation, and I was assigned this topic (Knox, 1953) when I joined the Institute part-way through the Science Honours fourth year (as a consequence of a coal-miners' strike in mid-1949, which meant that there was no gas for the microbial studies in progress).…”

Dr. Neil Goldsworthy had a profound effect on the development of dental research in the biological sciences in Australia, including measures for the prevention of dental caries. He played a major role in the establishment of the Institute of Dental Research in Sydney in 1946 and was Director until his sudden death in 1960. Reviewing the Institute's activities provides the opportunity for his achievements to receive due recognition and to show how they influenced its subsequent development. As one who has been associated with the Institute for most of the last 50 years, it is an honor for me to undertake this task.
