Light microscopic examination was done of sagittal sections of mandibular incisors from Wistar rats maintained on a normal cube diet, a synthetic fat-supplemented diet and a fat-free diet. Extensive histologic changes were observed in odontoblasts and dentin formation in rats maintained on the fat-free diet. These changes were considered to be degenerative and to be concomitant with essential fatty acid deficiency.

Pilchard oil and two fractions of salmon egg oil, despite their greater unsaturation, proved less effective than methyl linoleate in curing rats suffering from essential fatty acid deficiency. Herring oil, less unsaturated, was even less effective.
