JVD 2019 #2 two Randomized Trials Demonstrate Lactic Acid, Supplementation In Pet Food, Inhibits, Dental Plaque, Calculus, And Tooth stain Flashcards
In two randomized trial’s demonstrate lactic acid, supplementation in pet food, inhibits dental plaque, calculus, and tooth stain and cats by Scheryl, et al, what was the study method?
Two studies, a three month and a one year.
cats from the colony maintained by Hill’s Pet Nutrition, 15 cats in the three month study and 12 cats per group in the one year study.
Fed a commercial diet and test group received 1.2% lactic acid added to the food.
In two randomized trial’s demonstrate lactic acid, supplementation in pet food, inhibits dental plaque, calculus, and tooth stain and cats. What were the results?
The three month trial was broken into two groups, no statistical difference in the first month for either group. And the second month test group showed statistically significant difference in plaque 19.5%, calculus 35.3%, and stain 38.1%, and in the third month the second group showed statistically significant differences for stain 31.4% and calculus 30.5%. No statistically significant differences were seen at all in the first test group.
One year study showed 30.9% difference between the test and control groups in dental plaque and calculus course with a 36.6% difference in stain at 6 months, all statistically significant. At one year, 30.4% difference in plaque 25.4% difference in calculus and 33.1% difference in stain, statistically significant.
In two randomized, trial demonstrate lactic acid, supplementation in pet food, inhibits, dental plaque, calculus, and tooth stain in cats. What was the conclusion?
Lactic acid supplementation at 1.2% to a standard feeling diet inhibits the formation of dental plaque, calculus, and stain. Results seen as early as two months in sustained for one year.
