[Changes in microhardness of hard dental tissues of rabbits after internal medication of antibiotics (author's transl)].
Comparative Vickers hardness measurements on hard dental tissues mineralized under normal conditions and under the influence of antibiotic substances showed substance-and dose-dependent variations in quality of superficial enamel and dentine. They were found to correlate with other physicochemical properties (acid solubility) and must be considered as belonging to what is generally referred to as structural anomalies. - Consequently, the administration of antibiotics to babies and young children should be reexamined because of possible late effects.
