title: [Cartesian implication of the bucco-dental nosology of Pierre Fauchard (1678-1761-1978)].
abstract: Fauchard's 103 dental diseases can be reduced to 20. The other are clinical variations of the same disease, or deductions from erroneous ideas of ancient or cartesian physio-pathology. In 1778 Plenk describes more than 200 diseases but the same year J. Hunter sets up the foundations of modern classification: dental caries and its complications, diseases of the parodontium, dental anomalies and malocclusions.
