OCCLUSION AS A FACTOR IN DENTAL CARIES OF ALBINO RATS (RATTUS NORVEGICUS)

H. R. HUNT 1 and C. A. HOPPERT 1

1 Departments of Zoology and Chemistry, Michigan State College, East Lansing, Mich.

1. The existence of an inheritance factor for dental caries in albino rats is confirmed.

2. Occlusion facilitates the development of caries in the lower molar teeth of the susceptible strain.

3. There is evidence that the mechanical breakage and final disappearance of the upper molar teeth of resistant animals retards the development of cavities in the corresponding lower molars.

4. More finely ground rice particles are now being used in the diet in the hope that the genotypes of resistant rats may be more accurately evaluated.
