Dental Diseases In An Aboriginal Group.

Description: 

Skulls from a group of aboriginal Indians show a high percentage of dental caries. The native or aboriginal state of life per se does not insure a state of dental health. Dietary factors and food habits, apparently carbohydrate intake in particular, would appear to be of paramount importance to dental health, whether among aboriginal or civilized peoples. Read before the 4th district Medical Society, Shreveport, LA, April 1939.
