[On the acid solubility of the dental enamel of rabbits after internal administration of various antibiotic substances (author's transl)].

Sections of etched enamel and dentinal surfaces were examined to compare the acid solubility of normal hard tissue and determine the effects of various antibiotic substances. Considerable differences were observed, of which the correlation with cariogenesis and with the progression of caries are being discussed in detail. The results of this study show that treatment with antibiotics may lead to reductions in quality in infants, young children, and nursing mothers.
