[Elof Förberg--one of the pioneers of modern odontology].

: A short biography of Elof Forberg (1851-1923), dentist to H.M. the King. He was in many respects--professionally and culturally--the leading dentist in Sweden at the turn of the century. His many commissions, national and international, bear witness to Forberg's capability and distinction. Outside his professional sphere he took for example the initiative in creating the Swedish Linne Society and in restoring Linne's Botanical Gardens in Uppsala. He was an esteemed collector of art and books. His library included 15,000 volumes, among them a unique Linnaean collection and an excellent Strindberg collection.
