ABSTRACT
The present study reveals the inhibitory effect of iron intoxication on the process of dentine mineralization. Wistar rats were injected intraperitoneally with iron dextran at 0.88 g/kg body weight per day for 10 days during the period of odontogenesis. An age-matched group was injected intraperitoneally with bisodium etidronate (EHBP) at 20 mg/kg body weight per day for 10 days. Another age-matched group was treated with similar amounts of saline intraperitoneally and considered as control. At the end of the experimental period the animals intoxicated with iron exhibited non-mineralized dentine and mineralized bone. The animals treated with EHBP showed non-mineralized dentine and bone. These findings would suggest the existence of different mineralization mechanisms for bone and dentine.
