Effect of Undernutrition During the Perinatal Period on Caries Development in the Rat: V. Changes in Whole Saliva Volume and Protein Content

LEWIS MENAKER 1 and JUAN M. NAVIA 1

1 Institute of Dental Research, School of Dentistry, University of Alabama in Birmingham, Birmingham, Alabama 35294, USA

Rats malnourished during development show increased susceptibility to caries. During this time molars mineralize and salivary glands undergo rapid development. Nutritional stress could affect either or both of these processes, thus determining caries susceptibility. Present studies show drastically reduced protein content and volume of saliva in rats undernourished during development.
