Abstract

Efek konsumsi kopi arabika selama masa laktasi pada tikus Wistar terhadap erupsi gigi anak tikus (Choirunnisa, dkk.

Radiographic analysis of teeth calcification of breastfed rat cubs of mothers consuming excessive Arabica coffee

“…This finding is consistent with that of Choirunnisa which states that caffeine consumption of more than 300 mg per day can inhibit the eruption process of rat cubs' teeth. 10 Caffeine consumption may cause diuresis, a condition where there is an increase in the volume of urine secreted by the body as well as the amount of loss of substances dissolved in water that fail to be reabsorbed in the renal tubules. One of these substances is calcium, an essential nutrient for the body.…”

“…Choirunnisa showed that consumption of Arabica coffee of 2.7 grams/200 gram body weight/day during lactation period affected the eruption of rat cub's teeth. 10 Other researchers also found that consuming Arabica coffee with an excess dose of 2.7 grams/200 grams body weight/day during lactation can reduce the density of the mandibular bones of Wistar rat cubs. 11 Considering these findings and limited references and research on radiographic images of calcified teeth of rat cubs, we seek to conduct an experimental study on the effect of Arabica coffee consumption during lactation on Wistar rats on radiographic images of calcified teeth of rat cubs.…”
