| Abstract: | The concept of the haematogenous transportation of bacteria or toxic products from septic dental foci causing the occurrence of pathologic lesions in other parts of the body is largely due to William Hunter, who aroused great interest among both the medical and dental professions with his inauguration lecture at McGill University in Montreal, published in the "Lancet" (1911). He indicted the poor type of conservative dentistry as being the cause of rheumatic and other chronic diseases such as anaemia, gastritis, colitis, fevers Of unknown origin, diseases of the kidneys and others. |
