Figure 1. Dentin formation (µm2) during the experiment in the first and second molars. In the groups fed a high-sucrose diet, a significant (*p < 0.001, ANOVA with Tukey’s HSD) reduction in dentin formation was observed in both the first (A) and second (B) molars. Within both diet groups, exogenous insulin did not affect dentin formation. N=7 in sucrose and 8 in other groups.

Figure 2. Dentinal caries lesions (µm2) (A) in the first and (B) in the second molars. Dentinal caries was significantly (p < 0.05) increased in the high-sucrose diet groups in the second molars, when compared with the control-diet group (*) or with the control-diet-with-insulin groups ( ). The box reveals the first and third quartiles with median inside, and the "whiskers" show the highest and lowest values. Statistical analyses were performed by the Kruskal-Wallis ANOVA with the Mann-Whitney U test. N=7 in sucrose and 8 in other groups.
