EXPERIMENTAL PERIODONTAL LESIONS IN THE WHITE-TAILED RAT IN SOUTH AFRICA

T. OCKERSE D.M.D., D.D.S., D.SC.1

1 Department of Health, Pretoria, Union of South Africa

Localized periodontal lesions were produced in the white-tailed rat in South Africa during experimental dental caries study.

Female rats were mated and fed a high sugar diet during pregnancy and lactation. When their offspring were fed the same high sugar diet for 11 months, some developed periodontal pockets in the upper and lower jaws. The second litters were fed the high sugar diet for 8 months and some rats developed similar periodontal pockets. The possible etiology of these pockets is discussed.
