Abstract excerpt
The relative contribution of the host genetic effect on the susceptibility to dental caries was examined. Four inbred strains of male rats (BN/Sea, F344/Ms, PVG/cSea, and WKA/Sea) were inoculated with Streptococcus mutans and fed a cariogenic diet. The caries scores of the molar teeth were compared among these four strains, and the degree of genetic determination was estimated by analysis of variance....
