Healing of Gingival Wounds in Female Rats Fed a Low-Protein Diet

Young-adult and mature female rats received gingival wounds and simultaneously were placed on an 8 per cent casein diet. Pair-fed and ad libitum-fed control rats were similarly injured, and all animals were sacrificed during a 30-day experimental period.

Histologic observations showed a delay in crestal osteogenesis and more persistent inflammation at the site of injury in low-protein-fed rats than was seen in controls.

Under our experimental conditions, no histologic differences could be observed in the healing sequences seen in adult rats of varying age levels.
