Abstract

Just 25 years after Pierre Fauchard published his pioneering work, The Surgeon Dentist or Treatise on the Teeth in 1728, James Lind, a Scottish physician, presented the results of his study on scurvy, the first clinical experiment in the history of medicine, which provided the methodological foundation for modern medicine.
