The author comments on traits related to the article "The X-RAY in Dental Practice," by C. Edmund Kells. His commentary focuses on Kells, who was among the pioneers of modern health care. He also suggests that the article provides a window into a segment of medical and dental thinking and practice of the time and often repeats his commitment to the preservation of oral health and the dentition. It also states that much of the article deals with the "crime," as he put it, of focal infection.
