Abstract
Long-term ingestion of insufficiently masticated food, which resulted from extraction of posterior teeth, was especially detrimental to the health of old male rats. Although gastrointestinal pathology was not seen in most instances, the three rats that showed stomach ulcerations were the rats that had ingested the highest percentages of coarse particles.Keywords
