In order to improve the quality of caries-promoting diets MIT 200 and NIH 2000, both diets were supplemented with fat. In addition, the NIH 2000 diet was supplemented with minerals and vitamins. Supplementation with essential nutrients improves the quality of the diets and enhances growth when compared to control animals. Adding minerals and vitamins to diet NIH 2000 abolishes loss of pigmentation of incisors, improves hemoglobin and hematocrit and reduces caries scores in the buccal surfaces by 50% when compared to the non-supplemented diet. It is possible that the cariogenic properties of diet NIH 2000 may be a function in part of a nutrient deficiency.
为了提高致龋性饮食MIT 200和NIH 2000的质量，两种饮食均添加了脂肪。此外，NIH 2000饮食还添加了矿物质和维生素。与对照动物相比，补充必需营养素可提高饮食质量并促进生长。在饮食NIH 2000中添加矿物质和维生素可消除门牙色素沉着的丧失，改善血红蛋白和血细胞比容，并使颊面龋得分与未补充饮食相比降低50%。饮食NIH 2000的致龋特性可能部分是营养缺乏的作用。
