OBJECTIVE This study was performed to evaluate the effect of type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) on the microhardness of tooth enamel and dentine in mice. METHODS Seventy male C57BL/6 J mice were used in this study. Thirty-five mice were rendered diabetic by administration of streptozotocin (STZ), and the remaining animals received citrate buffer (normal/non-diabetic). In each group, specimens were divided into 7 subgroups of 5 mice based on the time points 0, 1, 4, 8, 12, 20, and 28 weeks. The microhardness value (MHV) of the second molars' enamel and root dentine were tested with a Vickers microhardness tester. Five specimens from each subgroup were evaluated for dentinal tubular density by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and color dot map analysis to determine the color intensity of strontium (Sr) and magnesium (Mg) by using ImageJ software. RESULTS The MHV of enamel was significantly reduced in STZ specimens in time points of 12 weeks (STZ: 274.39 ± 15.42, normal: 291.22 ± 15.28), 20 weeks (STZ: 247.28 ± 19.65, normal: 290.68 ± 11.52), and 28 weeks (STZ: 232.87 ± 15.07, normal: 282.76 ± 10.36) (P < 0.05). When comparing the MHV of dentine in subgroups of the normal group, after 20 weeks (169.1 ± 7.5) and 28 weeks (168.6 ± 7.81), the MHV increased significantly (P < 0.05). However, in the STZ group, a significant reduction of MHV was noticed between 28 weeks (131.69 ± 6.2) specimens with other subgroups (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS T1DM negatively affected enamel and dentine microhardness, and enamel was influenced much more negatively and rapidly compared with dentine in diabetic groups.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D003743 Dental Enamel A hard thin translucent layer of calcified substance which envelops and protects the dentin of the crown of the tooth. It is the hardest substance in the body and is almost entirely composed of calcium salts. Under the microscope, it is composed of thin rods (enamel prisms) held together by cementing substance, and surrounded by an enamel sheath.

D003804 Dentin The hard portion of the tooth surrounding the pulp, covered by enamel on the crown and cementum on the root, which is harder and denser than bone but softer than enamel, and is thus readily abraded when left unprotected.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
