Published in the International Academy of Dental Research’s Eleventh General Meeting Abstracts.

In a typical case of acute alveolar decalcification, or so-called pyorrhea alveolaris, age 25, alveolar bone of all four first permanent molars had been markedly absorbed, accompanied by typical pyorrhea pockets with some loosening. Before nutritional treatment, filtered saliva shaken with powdered bone gained 33.57 percent of Ca, and 2.18 percent of inorganic P. After nutritional treatment with fat-soluble activators and foods high in mineral content, salivary Ca decreased 68.13 percent, inorganic P 19.4 percent, both of which conditions the author has shown to be near to normal. Clinically there was very marked improvement. These data suggest relationship between fat-soluble…
