Abstract
O2 consumption rates [QO2] of dentinogenically active dental pulp at 38.degree. C were determined for 13 different species of mammals [tundra redback vole, tundra vole, brown lemming, white rat, arctic ground squirrel, rabbit, sheep, human, white-tailed deer, caribou, cattle, moose, and walrus] ranging from 18.6 g-800 kg in mean body mass. The QO2 is inversely related to body mass. The influence of body mass on the QO2 seems to be about 10 times greater in animals weighing less than 18 kg than it is in larger animals.This publication has 14 references indexed in Scilit:
