[The effect of irrigation on the oxygen tension in the healthy rat gingiva]
Abstract:
The temperature of the rat's gingiva was 30.4 +/- 0.3 degrees C. before, and 37.1 +/- 0.2 degrees C. after irrigation. After irrigation, the oxygen tension in the gingiva of the rats was by 40% higher than its original value. When pure oxygen was inhaled, the tension increased by 120% before irrigation, and by 126% after irrigation.
