STUDIES ON THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL PHENOMENA RELATED TO DENTAL CARIES

III. THE EFFECT OF SUCROSE UPON THE SOLUBILITY OF HUMAN DENTAL ENAMEL

R. Q. BLACKWELL 1 and L. S. FOSDICK 1

1 Department of Chemistry, Northwestern University Dental School, Chicago, Ill.

The presence of sucrose in lactate buffer solutions was shown to decrease the solubility of powdered human dental enamel. It is suggested that the picture of caries development may be influenced by the presence of sucrose in plaque material acting in the dual role of (1) the main substrate for degradation to acid to cause decalcification, and (2) a retarding influence on the rate of enamel dissolution.
