Abstract

A new experimental procedure was developed and an animal model extended to study the effect of stress and strain on the development of cervical carious lesions. Dental composite was applied to the surface of the upper first molars to induce stress on the cervical enamel junction of the species Rattus Norvegicus. Effects of implants on the subject´s food consumption and weight as well as implant failure were evaluated. This animal model holds promise for future studies for caries research but needs modifications
