Abstract
The results of these studies indicate that when Syrian hamsters, maintained on a caries-producing diet, have either one-half or all of their liquid intake in the form of “reconstituted” orange juice, their susceptibility to tooth decay is not altered markedly. In addition, it has been observed that animals living under these conditions show no changes in alveolar bone pattern that might be associated with excessive orange juice ingestion. Under the drastic conditions of those experiments, moderate erosion of the enamel was a common finding in those animals that drank only orange juice. The extent of this erosion was reduced considerably when orange juice was alternated with water. It is the belief of the investigators that moderate orange juice ingestion would not produce demonstrable erosion.
