Histological Analysis of Enamel Microstructure in Response to Dietary Habits: Comparative Study A cross Different Populations

Abstract

Background: The protective role of enamel against physical and chemical injury is well documented. Despite being classified as connective tissue, with its composition and microstructure dominated by hydroxyapatite crystals it is the hardest in the human body Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate the histological changes in enamel microstructure that occur when distinct populations follow different food habits. Study Design: This study employs a comparative cross-sectional design. Duration and Place of the Study: This study was conducted at Department of pathology Watim medical and dental college, Rawat , from 3rd June 2022 to 2nd May 2023. Material and Methods: A sum of 300 dental examples were acquired from members having a place with one or the other, High Carbohydrate Diet Group (n=95): people accounting their principle dietary consumption high-carb nourishments like grains/pay/aries and starches. High-Proteins Diet Group (n=108): participants who had the highest consumption of protein-rich foods, such as meat products, legumes and dairy. Mixed Diet Group (n=97): People with intermediate consumptions of carbohydrates, proteins and fats Subsequently, study participants were determined to best represent the two diet groups based on dietary surveys and medical histories. Results: In total, 300 participants are considered in this research, with the mean age of the group on HC totals 3.5 ± 1.3 years, HP group 3.4 ± 9.2 years, and MD group 3.6 ± 1.1 years. The gender distribution also shows similar characteristics, males are 55.8% in HC group, 46.3% in HP group, and 52.6% in MD group; females are 44.2%, 53.7%, and 47.4%, respectively. Concerning the age range, the major cluster is 26-35 years old and 36-45 years old cohorts, which proves the majority of the middle ages. Conclusion: Our results indicate that decomposition is a major factor affecting the surface morphology, structure and health of enamel.
