title: [The importance of trace elements in the aetiology of dental caries].
abstract: Data reported in the literature on the role of trace elements in the aetiology of dental caries are reviewed. The study of these elements--apart from fluorine--whose anticarietic or carietogenic effects have not yet been established, may shed new light on the carietic process and may contribute to a better knowledge of its cause.
