Studies on the Biology of the Periodontium of Marmosets: IX. Effect of Parathyroid Hormone on the Alveolar Bone of Marmosets Pretreated with Fluoridated and Nonfluoridated Drinking Water

Abstract

The alveolar bone of the marmoset is exceedingly vulnerable to the resorption induced by excessive amounts of parathyroid hormone. Inclusion of 50 ppm fluoride in the drinking water of the marmosets for five months resulted in a histologically measurable degree of protection against the bone-destroying proclivity of the hormone.
