Effect of the Diffusion of Microbial Growth Factors Through Tooth Substance on Production of Carious Lesions in Vitro

Abstract

SYNOPSIS IN INTERLINGUA

LE EFFECTO DEL DIFFUSION DE FACTORES DE CRESCENTIA MICROBIAL A TRANSERVSO LE SUBSTANTIA DEL DENTE SUPER LE PRODUCTION DE LESIONES CARIOSE IN VlTRO.—Le presente studio testava le hypothese que certe nutrientes essential pro le subsistentia de micro-organismos cariogenic es obtenite ab liquidos dentinal. Extrahite dentes esseva montate individualmente in tubos de diffusion construite de maniera a assecurar un barriera hermetic inter un medio de cultura nutritionalmente carente que coperiva le coronas e solutiones de factores de crescentia in que le radices esseva immergite. Varie factores de crescentia diffundeva a transverso le dentes in quantitates sufficiente a supportar crescentia microbial le qual, de su parte, produceva lesiones que non esseva distingubile ab carie clinic. Lamellas de adamante provideva vias specific pro le ingression de micro-organismos.
