Description

To determine whether trace elements other than fluorine play a role in the varying prevalences of dental caries in different South African population groups, neutron activation techniques have been devised to establish the concentrations of trace elements in tooth enamel and dentine

Abstract (Afrikaans)

Om te bepaal of spoorelemente, met uitsondering van fluoor, 'n rol in die wisselende voorkoms van tandbederf in verskillende Suid-Afrikaanse bevolkingsgroepe speel, is neutronaktiveringstegnieke bedink om die konsentrasies van spoorelemente in tandemalje en -dentien te bepaal
