The rate of fluid movement in the teeth of 28-day-old rats is inversely related to the incidence of dental caries after 13 weeks of the same diets. The early hypomineralization found in the dentin at 28 days is a result of altered metabolism imposed by a reduced rate of fluid transport in the rats fed a cariogenic diet.
