ASCORBIC ACID PLASMA LEVELS AND GINGIVAL HEALTH IN PERSONNEL WINTERING OVER IN ANTARCTICA
A report is presented of the dental research program conducted at Little America V, Antarctica, during the International Geophysical Year, 1957- 58. The program was initiated to study blood elements and their possible relationship to the etiology of cold-weather oral-health problems. The blood studi...
