Low sucrose levels promote extensive Streptococcus mutans-induced dental caries.

S M Michalek, J R McGhee, T Shiota and D Devenyns

ABSTRACT

One-tenth percent sucrose significantly promotes dental caries induced by Streptococcus mutans in young gnotobiotic rats. Maximum caries activity was observed in rats provided a purified diet containing 3% sucrose.

Infect Immun. 1977 May; 16(2): 712-714
