Abstract
The aim of this work was to determine the dietary effects of two
bioflavonoids, rutin and quercetin, On Periodontal disease and dental
Caries in the rat.
For this studyl male rats were fed the experimental diets for a
Period of forty two days・The bioflavonoid naringin was also fed as
another comparison since this bioflavonoid had been extensively studied
in this laboratory. At the end of the forty two days, alveolar bone
was examined under a dissecting microscope equipped with a reticle lens.
The alveolar bone loss from maxillary and mandibular jaws were scored
at various sites. The sites examined were mesial, midpoint and distal
in the first molars; meSial and distal in the second and third molars
(corresponding to the number of roots); the buccal and lingual sides
were recorded separately. The results showed that both tested bioflavonoids
had beneficial effects in prevention of alveolar bone loss. [TRUNCATED]
