Pill or Needle Loom in Future As Tools Against Tooth Decay By ALTON BLAKESLEE BETHESDA. Will drugs oi possibly a vaccine one day banish toolh decay? Just such prospects are raised in new findings that only one or few' specific types of germs cause! tooth decay in animals. II the same is tme lor humans, too, then an antibiotic or chemi cal might he found to destroy or! cnmrol ihe decay causing genus. The latest clues come from re search by Drs. Paul Keyes and: Robert Fitzgerald at the institute ol Dental Research.

Dr. Keyes discovered that if a pair ul hamsters was given penicillin their diet, their progeny stayed free of decay even if fed a diet, high in sugar, which normally produces loath decay. Thc progeny had nol decay even if not treated with penicillin. But if decay-free young animals were placed in contact with other hamsters who were getting decay, then they also developed the TOOTH DECAY could be ti admitted from animal to animal di-reclly like any infection. Cuitering bacteria taken from decayed teeth in hamsters.

Dr. Fitzgerald found that only one Miiyle type of streptococcus germ caused the disease when these germs were inoculated into the mouths of decay "immune" descendants of the hamsters who had received the penicillin. Earber, in 1955 and 1956, Dr. Frank Orland and associates at the Dobund institute of thc University of Notre Dame had discovered that rats living entirely germ-free lives did not get tooth decay, and they found a single strain oi strep germs which would cause decay if put in the mouths of the germ-free animals. Germ-free means exactly animals are torn and reared in special, sterilised tanks so not a single germ inhabits their bodies.

Drs. Keyes and Fitigerald confirmed this finding at the institute here. Rats can be fed diets containing 60 per cent sugar. Starch foods like hominy grits can be packed between their teeth. But no germs, no tooth decay.

THE STREP GERM which causes decay in rats does not cause decay in the hamsters. This suggests each animal has only one or at most a few types of germs which are specifically responsible for tooth decay in that type of animal, Dr. Fitz-, gerald said. Perhaps specific streptococci, cause human tooth decay, and could be controlled by drugs. II is hoped the animal studies can supply clues to identifying such germs in humans.

The institute researchers also are trying to vaccinate young masters against the slrep decay germs, by giving vaccine to the mm I mothers. The hope is (he off. spring win innrnt antibodies. In humans, there may be little real chance or a tooth-decay Since human teeth continue lo decay throughout life, humans don't appear lo develop a real immunity to decay as they do from exposure to other diseases. Germs have long been suspected as a main cause of tooth decay, presumably from acids formed by germs, which dissolve enamel.

A prime suspect in the germ kingdom was lactobacilli. The newer research indicates the laclobacilli are not responsible in rates and hamsters at least, while strep germs are.
