摘要：IARTICIPANTS in this symposium were assured that a scholarly dissertation for a doctoral degree was not expected of them. Rather they have been asked for a summary of developments in the recording of dental knowledge during the postwar years. The success, therefore, of such a paper as this depends, I suppose, on how many items of interest you have not heard of that I can present and how many times I avoid stirring in your minds the thought "Aha, he missed mentioning. .. !" I have not gone as far afield for as long a time to prepare this summary as the scholar would wish. It is brief and, perhaps, parochial.
