  • Title: [Cariogenic properties of various snacks in animal experiments].
    Author: Karle EJ, Gehring F, Trautner K.
    Journal: Dtsch Zahnarztl Z; 1977 Sep; 32(9):741-3. PubMed ID: 269076.
    Abstract:
    In a conventional animal experiment with rats, the cariogenic properties of different snacks were studied and compared. Bananas caused the highest caries incidence, apples the lowest. In between ranged the caries values of two other tested sweets, wafers and gum drops. The differences in caries incidence were due to specific chemo-physical properties (stickiness, fat content). In addition to the evaluation of caries incidence, microbiological plaque examinations and sugar analyses of the tested substances were carried out.
