The characterization of the dental plaque from ODU plaque-susceptible rats is reported. The comparison between the rat dental plaque and a human dental plaque indicates that content of extractable hexose and inorganic salts and amino acid composition are different from each other. Electron microscopic study indicates that bacterial flora of the rat dental plaque seems to be little different from a human dental plaque. In spite spite of obvious differences in biochemical nature between the rat dental plaque and the human dental plaque, there are enough similarities to warrant intensive investigation regarding the relationship between the dental plaque and gingivitis.
本文报道了ODU菌斑易感大鼠牙菌斑的特征。大鼠牙菌斑与人牙菌斑的比较表明,可提取己糖、无机盐含量及氨基酸组成彼此不同。电子显微镜研究表明,大鼠牙菌斑的细菌菌群与人牙菌斑似乎没有太大差异。尽管大鼠牙菌斑与人牙菌斑在生化性质上存在明显差异,但仍有足够的相似之处,值得深入研究牙菌斑与牙龈炎之间的关系。
