title: Centenary year of scientific papers in the British Dental Journal.
abstract: This part of the centenary series covers Sir Wilfred Fish's paper on the pathology and treatment of periodontal diseases. Newell Johnson comments on this important British contribution to the developing science of periodontology earlier this century. Newell is a particularly apt commentator because he is now Head of the RCS Department of Dental Sciences, which was founded by Fish in 1936.
