The present study is based on the anatomic and histologic examination of 20 rats. One-month-old rats were kept on a vitamin E deficient diet for a period of 3 months. Ten of the rats then received 0.025 per cent Antabuse in addition to the experimental diet for a period of 4 months, while the other 10 were continued on the experimental diet alone.
The rats receiving the vitamin E deficient diet showed lack of pigmentation and typical histologic changes in the enamel organ. Rats receiving Antabuse added to vitamin E deficient diet did not show any changes in the incisors.
