CARIES INHIBITING CHEMICALS

Abstract

A tremendous amount of effort has gone into the search for such compounds, usually with the aid of ‘screening’ techniques in which the potential agents are added to cariogenic diets fed to laboratory animals, and any effect on the level of caries is compared with that of a control group fed on the basic unsupplemented diet. A whole book has been compiled on the subject with different contributors reviewing progress in various classes of chemicals for which caries‐protective claims have been made.
