A bstract A preliminary study of the effects of various substances upon the aging of a ceramic body in the sterile and in the natural states is presented. The influence of each treatment on the growth of microörganisms is noted. In the case of tannic acid, the effect upon the physical properties of the body in the absence of microbial activity was especially pronounced. There is presented what is believed to be the first instance of the measurement of oxidation‐reduction potential in a ceramic material. Oxidation‐reduction potential is suggested as an index to microbiological activity in aging clay.
