Abstract
Weanling female rats were given subcutaneous injections of contraceptive steroids (norethynodrel and mestranol), tetracycline supplements in drinking water, or both, for seven weeks. Norethynodrel-mestranol treatment caused a significant increase in dental caries activity; this increase was prevented by intermittent supplements of tetracycline in drinking water.
