Abstract
⺠In this study we examine the chronic effect of high phosphorus diet on the mandibular incisor microstructure in degus using macroscopic observation, histopathological examination, transmission and scanning electron microscopy. ⺠Enamel and dentin development is disturbed under high phosphorus diet and improper calcium to phosphor ratio. ⺠Disturbed mineral metabolism resulted in enamel depigmentation, enamel hypoplasia, enamel pitting and altered dentin. ⺠More attention should be focused on dietary phosphorus content when facing altered tooth structure in young patients with deciduous or permanent dentition.
