Sterilisation
Antiseptic = chemical applied to living tissue/skin to inhibit or kill microorganisms. Disinfectant = chemical used on inanimate objects/surfaces to destroy pathogenic microorganisms.


Fluoride
G.V. Black and Frederick McKay investigated mottled enamel. H. Trendley Dean systematically investigated fluoride concentration in drinking water and dental fluorosis.


Study Designs and related
