Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of dietary bioflavonoid (rutin [R], quercetin [Q], and naringin [N]) supplementation on physiological molar crestal alveolar bone(CAB)-cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) distances in young male albino rats. The effects of diets supplemented with 0.57% R, Q, or N, at the expense of dextrose, were tested on 40 young rats, divided into four groups, for a period of 42 days. Rat skulls were defleshed, and CAB-CEJ distance was scored according to the modified method of Keyes and Gold (Oral Surg Oral Med Oral Pathol 1955;8:492). Data were analyzed using one-way analysis of variance, post hoc Tukey's test, and Spearman's (R(2)) correlation. P <.05 was used to reject the null hypothesis. The N group demonstrated the lowest CAB-CEJ distance, followed by the R and Q groups (P <.001-.05), except in the mandibular lingual region, where the Q group had a lower CAB-CEJ distance than the N and R groups (P <.05). The control group showed the largest CAB-CEJ distances. Dietary bioflavonoid supplementation was shown to significantly reduce molar CAB-CEJ distance (P <.001-.05) during alveolar development in male young rats.
