CARIOUS LESIONS IN COTTON RAT MOLARS

I. THE ROLE OF MECHANICAL FACTORS STUDIED BY THE EXTRACTION OF ANTAGONISTIC MOLARS

JAMES H. SHAW 1

1 School of Dental Medicine and Department of Nutrition, School of Public Health, Harvard University, Boston, Mass.

In comparison to the white rat, the extraction of maxillary molars in the cotton rat has relatively little effect on the initiation and progress of carious lesions in the molar teeth which have not been subjected to the stress of mastication. There is a barely significant reduction in the incidence and extent of tooth decay in the sulci of the mandibular molars which had no opposing molars.
