The effects of an incisal bite plane on rat sublingual glands
Journal of Dental Research
|June 1, 1983
Abstract:
Application of an incisal bite plane for as little as three d caused a significant increase in the size of the sublingual glands of rats, with some evidence of hyperplasia and hypertrophy of the acinar cells. The enlargement had few effects on salivary secretion, and the gland changes were reversible.
