Abstract
Three dogs with extirpation of the salivary glands were maintained on a high carbohydrate diet. Niduses were produced in selected teeth of each dog, and Lactobacillus broth was injected weekly into 3 teeth covered with a metallic crown. The xerostomia produced alterations of eating habits and definite pathologic changes in the gingivae. The activity of dental caries was never manifested clinically, radiographically or histologically during the two years'' study.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
