Effects of Hypervitaminosis D on the Periodontium of the Hamster

H. FAHMY 1, W. E. ROGERS 1, D. F. MITCHELL 1, and H. E. BREWER 1

1 Indiana University, School of Dentistry, Indianapolis, Indiana

The initiation and development of periodontal disease may be dependent on systemic factors, such as the calcium load of the plasma and soft tissue, and conditions due to an excess or deficiency of vitamins and hormones. It was demonstrated in this study that excessive amounts of vitamin D markedly modified the periodontal tissues in young adult hamsters. Further studies of these effects in hamsters with periodontal disease are warranted.
