AN EFFECT OF REPRODUCTION ON THE DENTAL CARIES ACTIVITY IN WHITE RATS

JAMES H. SHAW 1

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

The influence of reproduction upon dental caries experience has been investigated in caries-susceptible white rats which were maintained on a highly purified caries-producing diet.

Under the conditions of this experimental regimen, the 30 females which had completed one or two reproductive cycles had a slightly lower average number of various molars, a slightly lower average number of various lesions, and a significantly lower average extent of tooth decay than their litter mates which had never been pregnant.
