- Title
Dental and Periodontal Effects of Calcitonin in Hamsters.
- Authors
EL-KAFRAWY, A. H.; MITCHELL, D. F.
- Abstract
The article investigates the periodontal and dental impact in Syrian hamsters of calcitonin. An experiment is described and results are discussed. Both control and test animals gained weight during the investigation, and both showed histological similarities in many areas including the dentin, pulp, and mandibular condyles. In general, calcitonin seemed to have little histological impact on either periodontal or dental tissue.
