Studies, in the Rat, of Susceptibility to Dental Caries

Abstract: EXPERIMENTAL Shibata states that he reared young rats on a diet consisting of "whole" rice and greens, plus 5-10 percent of various carbohydrates, of which dextrin and maltose were most effective in producing caries. The lesion, he states, developed in the molar fissures in about twenty days, and destroyed the crown in a week. Our first experiment was an attempt to repeat this finding. The animals were the Long-Evans strain of hooded rats, originally given to us in March, 1930, by Prof. P. E. Smith of the Depa… Show more

“…They correspond with most of the "macroscopic caries" of other observers, as noted elsewhere (9,10). The findings in previous studies (6,7,8) indicate that their etiology is distinct from that of the other types of lesions of rat teeth. Since they develop by mechanical fracture of the exposed dentin at the cusp surface under the impact of hard food particles and become "carious"-that is, infected only secondarily, they are not considered analogous to dental caries in man.…”

“…The analogous water biscuit, dating from the Stone Age, may represent man's earliest attempt to conserve the products of agriculture. Moreover, pilot biscuit resembles both physically and chemically the coarsely ground raw cereal previously found to be a primary causative agent of experimental dental caries in rats (2,3,8,9). It seemed of interest therefore to determine whether pilot biscuit is capable of acting as a primary agent of rat caries under conditions similar to those previously employed with coarsely ground rice and corn.…”

“…Although these later workers place special emphasis on particle size as the primary cause of dental caries, they do not entirely rule out the influence which is exerted by disturbed Ca-P metabolism. Thus Rosebury and Karshan (16) in discussing their findings with large particles state "On the adequate diets the incidence values (of dental caries) are in general lower; whereas on the deficient diets, the lesions were generally more advanced." This they interpret as being an effect of retardation rather than of prevention of dental caries.…”
