Abstract
A soln. of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid was efficacious in vitro in demineralizing rabbits'' teeth, which is an index of the ability of a soln. to dissolve Ca phosphate stones. It was found slightly efficacious in vitro in dissolving Ca oxalate stones. It was only slightly irritating to rabbits'' bladders.Keywords
