A COMPARISON BETWEEN THE WIDTHS OF THE FISSURES OF THE LOWER MOLARS OF CARIES-RESISTANT AND CARIES-SUSCEPTIBLE ALBINO RATS (RATTUS NORVEGICUS)

PAUL E. KIFER 1, H. R. HUNT 1, C. A. HOPPERT 1, and C. J. WITKOP 1

1. The fissures in the left and right lower molar teeth of caries-susceptible rats are, at the plane studied, significantly wider than the corresponding fissures in caries-resistant rats at the age of 40 days.

2. Fissure width may be one of the factors involved in the etiology of dental caries in rats.

3. The presence of extensive microscopic caries in 40-day-old caries-susceptible rats is discussed.
