Abstract
Three commonly used cariogenic diets were compared to determine why their abilities to support weight gain differed. The initiation and development of carious lesions in the occlusal sulci and on the smooth surfaces of rat molars also were evaluated. Relatively small changes in dietary composition tended to cause major changes in caries activity at one or both sites.Keywords
