Effects of Vitamin B6 on Dental Caries in Rats

TAKASHI MATSUDA 1 and TADAO TODA 1

1 Department of Oral Medicine, Osaka Dental College, Osaka, Japan

Twenty-one-day-old rats were allotted to two groups, a control group given an ordinary diet and a group given a vitamin B6- deficient diet. Caries incidence in the vitamin B6-deficient rats was higher than in the controls, and the ratio of calcium to tooth weight in the vitamin B6-deficient group and the control group always showed a trend toward decrease relative to the amounts of magnesium. The decrease of calcium in the vitamin B6-deficient group was greater than in the control group, and an increase of magnesium in the former was 1.7 times greater than in the latter.
