Rats malnourished during development show increased susceptibility to caries. During this time molars mineralize and salivary glands undergo rapid development. Nutritional stress could affect either or both of these processes, thus determining caries susceptibility. Present studies show drastically reduced protein content and volume of saliva in rats undernourished during development.
