The following conclusions were obtained. 1. It was possible to keep the amount of plasma protein constant in each group by using a specially prepared diet containing differing amounts of casein. Also, when the rats with hypoproteinemia, due to a non-casein diet, were given food containing 24.5% casein, it was found that their plasma protein levels easily and quickly returned to normal. 2. Weight: Counting the first day of the experiment as 100, growth for group A (given a 24.5% casein diet) had reached 281.7% by the fifteenth week, whereas group H (fed a non-casein diet) reached a growth of only 48.5%--below half of day one of the experiment. On the other hand, each group which started out with a non-casein diet and later changed to a 24.5% casein diet recovered very quickly, but not to the extent of group A by the fifteenth week. Body length for all experimental groups increased from the first day to the third week, after which there was a tendency to approximate the body weight. 3. Effect of hypoproteinemia on skull growth: Growth was small for groups B and C whose plasma protein amounts were kept constant. Hardly any growth was seen in groups D and H. Groups E, F and G, whose plasma protein levels were restored, showed a high growth ratio after their diet was changed. Growth of the mandible showed a similar pattern. 4. A comparison of measurements for different parts of the skull indicated different patterns of growth and development for the upper and lower parts. For the upper part, the least growth was in the center followed by the rear area with the largest growth for the nasal bone at the front. The greatest growth ratio in the lower part of the skull was seen in splenoid and occipital bone lengths at the rear followed by the front area and central area. Growth of angular process length of mandible showed a very high growth ratio. 5.

Each rat was given daily 12 g of a low calcium (0.1% Ca) diet beginning from 3 days before the operation and continuing for 11 days after. Then the diet was changed to those containing various calcium salts (1.5% Ca). The serum calcium and phosphorous concentrations were examined every three days, just before feeding time and 6 hours after. The degree and site of the mineralization of incisor dentin were examined histologically by a time marking method using lead acetate. In the PTXed rats maintained on a low calcium diet, the serum calcium concentration decreased to about 4.5 mg/dl and the mineralization of incisor dentin was inhibited. On the 11th day, just before feeding on diets containing various calcium salts, the serum calcium concentrations were very similar for each group, but at 6 hours after feeding, concentration was 7.6 mg/dl in the calcium lactate group, 6.2 mg/dl in the calcium carbonate group and 4.8 mg/dl in the calcium phosphate group. On the 17th day following administration of the high calcium diets, the serum calcium concentrations were 9.8 mg/dl in the calcium lactate group, 8.4 mg/dl in the calcium carbonate group and 4.4 mg/dl in the calcium phosphate group. Mineralization of the incisor dentin was best in the calcium lactate group, moderate in the calcium carbonate group and poor in the calcium phosphate group. We also examined the effects of dietary phosphorus contents on serum calcium concentrations and on the mineralization of incisor dentin using PTXed rats. On the 17th day following the administration of diets (1.5% Ca, with calcium lactate) containing various amounts of phosphorus, the serum calcium concentrations in the calcium lactate group were 8.8 mg/dl (0.4% P), 6.9 mg/dl (0.8% P) and 4.2 mg/dl (1.6% P) respectively. Mineralization of incisor dentin was also inhibited in rats fed a high phosphorus diet.

However, when small stresses within proportional limits are applied repeatedly (even though not amounting to destructive forces in static tests), they may cause rupture in the alloy or, at least, cause it to lose its original mechanical properties. This phenomenon is called metal fatigue. It is estimated that the intraoral stress loads received by dental restorations during mastication or during insertion and removal of appliances are repeated more than 3 x 10(5) times/year. From this standpoint, it may be more appropriate to estimate the fracture strength of such dental alloys based on the fatigue properties of the restorative materials used for clasps, bars, and fixed bridges. For this reason, it is necessary to obtain data through fatigue tests on the fatigue strength and the fatigue endurance limits of dental alloys, and it is important to find a correlation between these data and the static data on tensile strengths and ductility obtained by tensile tests. Two alloys are used in these experiments. Both wrought specimens and cast specimens of 12% Au-Pd-Ag and Type III gold alloy were prepared for the fatigue tests. The size of the rectangular wrought specimens was 3 x 4 x 110 mm. The 12% Au-Pd-Ag alloy was heated to 800 degrees C for 15 minutes, quenched, and reheated to 400 degrees C for 20 minutes and quenched again according to the manufacturer's instructions for heat treatment. The Type III gold alloy was heated to 700 degrees C for 10 minutes, quenched, and reheated to 350 degrees C for 20 minutes and quenched again.
