Resumen
- Many artefacts important to the history of dentistry have disappeared from coliections. Toe missing artefacts represent dental techniques of man y cultures and ali historical eras. Toe artifact coliections include those of major first world institutions and private coliections. Many of the artefacts were coliected in the early days of scientific archaeology and museum curation and hopefully are simply lying unforgotten in storage. As if to compensate for the disappointment of such failures, hope lies in literary texts that speak of artefacts that may yet be discovered.
