“Through appropriate laboratory research methods I secured accurate information as to the exact microscopic etiological and pathological conditions at the specific locations where the lesions of caries and where those of periodontoclasia originate and advance.”
“Although all activity and further advancement of periodontoclasia are entirely prevented in younger persons who learn and follow this method of personal oral hygiene, there may be some question as to whether similar results can be expected in the aged. The answer is yes.”
“The right method of personal oral hygiene continues to entirely prevent periodontoclasia through far advanced age.”
