DENTAL CARIES IN THE MOLAR TEETH OF RATS

II. A METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING AND SCORING SEVERAL TYPES OF LESIONS SIMULTANEOUSLY

PAUL H. KEYES 1

1 National Institute of Dental Research, National Institutes of Health, Bethesda, Md.

1. The various types of carious lesions found in the molar dentition of the rat can be evaluated by estimating the linear spread in one plane and by characterizing the depth of penetration.

2. In order to determine the extent of proximal and sulcal lesions some form of sectioning or grinding is essential.

3. These features have been incorporated into a standardized system of scoring which is consistent with presently used methods and which offers the advantage of describing and distinguishing differences in the distribution and extent of carious lesions. It is hoped that this system may find universal adoption.
