STUDIES ON PHYSICOCHEMICAL PHENOMENA RELATED TO DENTAL CARIES

II. THE EFFECT OF SUGAR ON THE RATES OF DIFFUSION OF CALCIUM AND PHOSPHATE IONS

L. S. FOSDICK 1 and B. K. FORSCHER 1

1 Northwestern University Dental School, Chicago, Ill.

A study was made of the effect of sugar on the rate of diffusion of calcium and phosphate ions through a semipermeable membrane. The calcium and phosphate ions were generated by exposing tricalcium phosphate suspension to attack by hydrogen ions. It was found that the rates of diffusion of calcium and phosphate ions were decreased in the presence of M sucrose solution. It was found that the initial rate of appearance of calcium was higher than that of phosphate, but that the Ca/P ratio approached the theoretical value of 1.5 with time.
