Abstract
In their classic 1976 paper, Page & Schroeder described the histopathologic events and the types of myeloid cells and lymphocytes involved in the initiation and progression of inflammatory periodontal disease. The staging of periodontal disease pathogenesis as 'initial', 'early', 'established' and 'advanced' lesions productively guided subsequent research in the field and remains fundamentally valid. However, major advances regarding the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying the induction, regulation and effector functions of immune and inflammatory responses necessitate a reassessment of their work and its integration with emerging new concepts. We now know that each type of leukocyte is actually represented by functionally distinct subsets with different, or even conflicting, roles in immunity and inflammation. Unexpectedly, neutrophils, traditionally regarded as merely antimicrobial effectors in acute conditions and protagonists of the 'initial' lesion, are currently appreciated for their functional versatility and critical roles in chronic inflammation. Moreover, an entirely new field of study, osteoimmunology, has emerged and sheds light on the impact of immunoinflammatory events on the skeletal system. These developments and the molecular dissection of crosstalk interactions between innate and adaptive leukocytes, as well as between the immune system and local homeostatic mechanisms, offer a more nuanced understanding of the host response in periodontitis, with profound implications for treatment. At the same time, deeper insights have generated new questions, many of which remain unanswered. In this review, 40 years after Page & Schroeder proposed their model, we summarize enduring and emerging advances in periodontal disease pathogenesis.

Abstract
Various preclinical/clinical studies support the effectiveness of ketoprofen in periodontitis; however, the literature reveals that novel delivery systems have been less explored for the drug in periodontitis. The current investigation aims to explore the potential of a pro-vesicular approach-based proniosomal drug delivery of ketoprofen for its effectiveness and validation in experimental periodontal disease (EPD). Formulations were developed using I-optimal mixture design. Developed formulations were characterized for entrapment efficiency, vesicle size, and in vitro drug release. Selected proniosomal gels were evaluated for mucoadhesiveness, ex vivo drug permeation, and retention studies. Optimized proniosomal gel was evaluated for surface morphology, rheological behavior, texture studies, and pharmacodynamic activity in EPD. The results showed that ketoprofen-loaded proniosomal formulations formed a mucoadhesive hydrogel comprising spherical and flexible vesicles. Viscosity and texture studies showed good adhesion and smoothness, which are desired for enhanced permeation. The disease condition was improved with preserved bone resorption process, that too with intact cementum vis-à-vis marketed gel formulation, when evaluated in the EPD model. The results lead to the conclusion that proniosomes can act as a promising carrier and can be effectively used for improved ketoprofen delivery in periodontal pockets.

Abstract
AIM Human periodontitis is associated with overactivation of complement, which is triggered by different mechanisms converging on C3, the central hub of the system. We assessed whether the C3 inhibitor Cp40 inhibits naturally occurring periodontitis in non-human primates (NHPs). MATERIALS AND METHODS Non-human primates with chronic periodontitis were intra-gingivally injected with Cp40 either once (5 animals) or three times (10 animals) weekly for 6 weeks followed by a 6-week follow-up period. Clinical periodontal examinations and collection of gingival crevicular fluid and biopsies of gingiva and bone were performed at baseline and during the study. A one-way repeated-measures anova was used for data analysis. RESULTS Whether administered once or three times weekly, Cp40 caused a significant reduction in clinical indices that measure periodontal inflammation (gingival index and bleeding on probing), tissue destruction (probing pocket depth and clinical attachment level) or tooth mobility. These clinical changes were associated with significantly reduced levels of pro-inflammatory mediators and decreased numbers of osteoclasts in bone biopsies. The protective effects of Cp40 persisted, albeit at reduced efficacy, for at least 6 weeks following drug discontinuation. CONCLUSION Cp40 inhibits pre-existing chronic periodontal inflammation and osteoclastogenesis in NHPs, suggesting a novel adjunctive anti-inflammatory therapy for treating human periodontitis.

Abstract
Whereas no single animal model can reproduce the complexity of periodontitis, different aspects of the disease can be addressed by distinct models. Despite their limitations, animal models are essential for testing the biological significance of in vitro findings and for establishing cause-and-effect relationships relevant to clinical observations, which are typically correlative. We provide evidence that animal-based studies have generated a durable framework for dissecting the mechanistic basis of periodontitis. These studies have solidified the etiologic role of bacteria in initiating the inflammatory response that leads to periodontal bone loss and have identified key mediators (IL-1, TNF, prostaglandins, complement, RANKL) that induce inflammatory breakdown. Moreover, animal studies suggest that dysbiosis, rather than individual bacterial species, are important in initiating periodontal bone loss and have introduced the concept that organisms previously considered commensals can play important roles as accessory pathogens or pathobionts. These studies have also provided insight as to how systemic conditions, such as diabetes or leukocyte adhesion deficiency, contribute to tissue destruction. In addition, animal studies have identified and been useful in testing therapeutic targets.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the novel study was to check the efficacy of a locally applied 2%w/w nanoemulgel (NEG) of Ketoprofen (KP) in preventing the periodontitis, and was also checked NEG without KP to ensure the effect of eugenol in NEG as an oil phase. DESIGN For experimentally induced periodontitis, sterile silk ligatures (3/0) were placed around the crevices of the first left lower molar teeth of the male Wistar rats. During 8 weeks, all rats were fed with 10%w/v sucrose solution. The experimental assessment was carried out at 11 d after treatment of experimental periodontal disease (EPD) rats by various clinical parameters like gingival index (GI), tooth mobility (TM), alveolar bone loss (ABL), histological analysis, detection of TNF-α, and IL-1β in gingival tissue by ELISA and the roughness were measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) in tapping modes. RESULTS After treatment, comparison studies with EPD were performed. NEG loaded with KP prevents significantly (p < 0.05) various parameters (GI, TM, and ABL), which were responsible for periodontitis. The histopathology of the periodontium showed that Group 3 (NEG loaded with KP) had a more significant reduction in inflammatory cell infiltration, alveolar bones resorption, and cementum (p < 0.05). In the topographical images, significant reduction in roughness of NEG loaded with KP was observed in comparison with EPD without treatment. CONCLUSION The study revealed the great synergistic potential of the combined NEG of an anti-inflammatory drug KP along with eugenol as the oil phase, which have potential antibacterial, analgesic, and anesthetic properties to combat periodontal disease.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to formulate and evaluate in situ gelling syringeable nanoemulgels (NEGs) of ketoprofen for periodontal delivery. Application of 3-factor 3-level design was employed using the Box-Behnken experimental design for the optimization of nanoemulsion using three independent variables such as percent concentration (v/v) of oil (X1), S mix (mixture of surfactant and cosurfactant) (X2) and water (X3); while the particle size (nm) (Y1), polydispersity index (Y2) and zeta potential (mV) (Y3) were used as dependent variables. The NEG was evaluated based on their drug content, pH measurement, mucoadhesion on the goat buccal mucosa, syringeability and inverted sol-gel transition temperature. The drug release data were analyzed for curve fitting based on the Korsmeyer-Peppas law, and the n-values of optimized A5 and A8 formulations were found 0.3721 and 0.3932, respectively, confirmed that both the formulations followed pseudo Fickian diffusion (n < 0.43). The formulation A8 with the optimal drug release was identified as the best NEG formulation. Results of rheological, mucoadhesion and syringeability studies showed the suitability of desired sol-gel property for periodontal drug delivery. The Herschel-Bulkley model was the best fit model to explain the flow behavior of optimized formulation. Using the HET-CAM method, significantly lower in vitro toxicity was indicated the suitability of developed NEG for intra-pocket delivery.

Abstract
AIM The aim of the present randomized, double blind, parallel, 2-arm clinical study was to examine the safety and efficacy of frequent applications of chlorhexidine chip (CHX) and flurbiprofen chip (FBP) in patients with chronic periodontitis. METHODS Sixty patients were randomized into CHX and FBP groups. Following OHI and scaling and root planing (SRP), baseline pocket depth (PD) measurements, gingival recession and bleeding on probing (BOP) were performed and repeated at week 4 and 8. The assigned chip was placed at weeks 0, 1, 2, 3, 5, 7. RESULTS Mean PD reduction in the CHX group was 2.08 mm (7.17 to 5.09, p < 0.0001). Mean PD reduction in the FBP group was 2.27 mm (6.72 to 4.45, p < 0.0001). Ninety-seven percentage and 95% of these sites exhibited PD reduction ≥1 mm, while 38% and 34% of the sites exhibited PD ≥3 mm (FBP and CHX, respectively). Clinical attachment level gain (1.66 and 1.95 mm, respectively) was statistically significant (p < 0.0001). Baseline BOP dropped from 98% and 100% to 24% and 30% for the CHX and FBP groups, respectively (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION Frequent applications of CHX and FBP chips resulted in a significant improvement in the periodontal condition in these sites. Furthermore studies will be required to compare this new treatment regimen to SRP or SRP with single chip application.

Abstract
Animal models and cell cultures have contributed new knowledge in biological sciences, including periodontology. Although cultured cells can be used to study physiological processes that occur during the pathogenesis of periodontitis, the complex host response fundamentally responsible for this disease cannot be reproduced in vitro. Among the animal kingdom, rodents, rabbits, pigs, dogs, and nonhuman primates have been used to model human periodontitis, each with advantages and disadvantages. Periodontitis commonly has been induced by placing a bacterial plaque retentive ligature in the gingival sulcus around the molar teeth. In addition, alveolar bone loss has been induced by inoculation or injection of human oral bacteria (e.g., Porphyromonas gingivalis) in different animal models. While animal models have provided a wide range of important data, it is sometimes difficult to determine whether the findings are applicable to humans. In addition, variability in host responses to bacterial infection among individuals contributes significantly to the expression of periodontal diseases. A practical and highly reproducible model that truly mimics the natural pathogenesis of human periodontal disease has yet to be developed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition of tooth-supporting tissues. Arachidonic acid metabolites have been implicated in development of periodontal disease, especially those derived from the cyclo-oxygenase (COX) pathway. This study investigated the role of inhibitors of cyclo-oxygenases (COX-1 and COX-2) in a model of periodontal disease in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS A ligature was placed around the molar of rats. Losses of fiber attachment and of alveolar bone were measured morphometrically in histologically prepared sections. Infiltration of cells into gingival tissue surrounding the ligated tooth was also determined. RESULTS Systemic and local administration of non-selective and selective COX-2 inhibitors, preventively, resulted in significant reduction of the losses of fiber attachment and alveolar bone, as well as decreased leukocyte numbers in gingival tissue. Preventive selective inhibition of COX-1 was as effective as COX-2 inhibition in reducing local fiber attachment loss and cell migration, but did not prevent alveolar bone loss. CONCLUSION Our results provide evidence for participation of COX-1 and COX-2 in early stages of periodontal disease in rats. Furthermore, local administration of COX inhibitors reduced the signs of periodontal disease to the same extent as systemic treatment. Therapeutic approaches incorporating locally delivered anti-inflammatory drugs could be of benefit for patients suffering from periodontal disease.

Abstract
A consistent observation in osteoporosis is bone volume reduction accompanied by increased marrow adipose tissue. No single cause linking the two phenomena has yet been identified. In a human progenitor cell clone (hOP 7) derived from bone marrow, however, we have demonstrated that rabbit serum can direct differentiation away from an osteoblast lineage to one of adipocytes. We now report on whether human serum has a similar effect. Serum was collected from 10 pre- and 10 postmenopausal women and from the 10 postmenopausal women before and following 6-week hormone replacement therapy (HRT). hOP 7 cells were cultured with the various sera, and after 7-14 days adipocytogenesis was determined by oil red O staining and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH) expression. Incubation with 10% premenopausal serum led to labeling of 10.9% of cells (P < 0.05) with oil red O, whereas application of 10% postmenopausal serum led to a much larger effect, 43.5% labeling (P < 0.001 with respect to premenopausal serum). Oil red O positivity was accompanied by loss of type I collagen expression and increased LPL and G3PDH expression. HRT did not reverse the adipocytogenic effect of postmenopausal serum. In conclusion, serum from postmenopausal women contains factors that steer hOP 7 bone progenitor cells toward an adipocytic phenotype, irrespective of HRT. The study suggests a role for serum factors in the development of fatty marrow in postmenopausal osteoporosis.

Abstract
It is well established that host-bacterium interactions play a critical role in the initiation and progression of periodontal diseases. By the use of inhibitors, it has been shown that mediators associated with the innate immune response significantly contribute to the disease process. Less is known regarding the role of the acquired immune response. To investigate mechanisms by which the acquired immune response to Porphyromonas gingivalis could affect connective tissue, we used a well-documented calvarial model to study host-bacterium interactions. Injection of P. gingivalis stimulated gamma interferon, interleukin 6, macrophage inflammatory protein 2, and monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 expression as determined by real-time PCR. Prior immunization against P. gingivalis significantly enhanced the mRNA levels of these cytokines and chemokines. Similarly, immunization significantly increased and prolonged the formation of a polymorphonuclear leukocyte and mononuclear cell infiltrate (P < 0.05). In addition, the area of connective tissue destruction, osteoclastogenesis, bone loss, mRNA expression of proapoptotic genes, and degree of fibroblast apoptosis were increased in immunized mice (P < 0.05). These results indicate that activation of the acquired immunity by P. gingivalis increases the inflammatory and destructive responses which occur in part through up-regulating the innate immune response and enhancing osteoclastogenesis and fibroblast apoptosis.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of ketoprofen on bone repair process in tibiae of rats by means of analysis of the digital optical density. Twenty Wistar rats were assigned to two groups: an untreated control group and a group treated with ketoprofen. The experimental procedures comprised the following stages: general anesthesia, preparation of a unicortical bone defect on the left tibia of each rat, medication with ketoprofen and radiographic examination. Digital radiographic images were acquired using Visualix GX-S-HDI digital sensor and an x-ray equipment. Radiographs were taken at baseline, 7, 14, 21 and 30 days postoperatively and the optical density (OD) was evaluated using the Vix win 1.4 system. The mean values of OD readings were analyzed statistically by ANOVA and Tukey's test with significance level set at á=5%. The control group showed a statistically significant correlation (p=0.001) between time and optical density, while the ketoprofen group exhibited a weak and not statistically significant correlation (p=0.100). The control group presented the smallest OD ratios at days 1 and 7, and the greatest OD ratios at days 14, 21 and 30, with statistically significant difference (p=0.001). There was no significant differences (p=0.100) among the OD ratios in the ketoprofen group, regardless of the evaluation period. The findings of this study suggest that ketoprofen influenced bone repair process because there was an increase in optical density during the first week and delayed new bone formation after the 21st day.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To review the biological mechanisms and clinical utility of therapeutic modulation of the host response in the management of periodontal diseases. MATERIAL AND METHODS A search of MEDLINE-PubMed was performed up to and including December 2004. The search was limited to in vitro, experimental animal and clinical studies published in English. The selection criteria included all levels of available evidence: systematic reviews, randomised-controlled clinical trials, controlled clinical trials, prospective and retrospective cohort studies and case reports of human and experimental animal studies. RESULTS Six targets for non-microbial chemotherapeutic intervention were identified. Clinical trials have demonstrated the ability of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs to slow periodontal disease progression. However, recently reported serious adverse effects preclude the use of cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors as an adjunct to periodontal therapy. Adjunctive use of subantimicrobial dose doxycycline to non-surgical periodontal therapy is beneficial in the management of chronic periodontitis over 12 months. Controversial data exist on the effects of bisphosphonate administration as an adjunct to periodontal therapy. Evidence on modulation of other host mediators including lipoxins, cytokines and nitric oxide synthase is limited to animal research.

Abstract
An isocratic RP-HPLC procedure has been developed and validated for the quantitative determination of ketoprofen in a topical gel. The HPLC procedure consist of a YMC ODS-AQ, 5-microm particle size analytical column (150 mm x 4.6 mm); Alltech Econosphere C18, 5-microm particle size guard column; detection at 233 nm; 1 ml/min flow rate; 20-microl injection volume. The mobile phase consisted of pH 3.5 phosphate buffer-water-acetonitrile (8:43:49, v/v). Sample preparation was a simple extraction of ketoprofen with mobile phase. The above conditions resolved and eluted ketoprofen, excipients, and potential degradants within 35 min, with ketoprofen eluting at about 6.5 min. The procedure was validated with respect to specificity, accuracy, precision, and linearity. The accuracy of the procedure, determined by spike recovery measurements, was 100.1-100.5%. The intra- and inter-day precisions were demonstrated by the relative standard deviations (RSD) of 0.3-0.6% and 0.5%, respectively. The intermediate precision was determined by comparing the results obtained with four independently prepared samples by two chemists using two columns on different days. The results indicate no significant difference (P = 0.17). The procedure showed linearity over the concentration range 4 x 10(-5) to 1 x 10(-1) mg/ml.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Anti-inflammatory agents have been reported as a bone loss mediator in periodontitis. This study aimed to investigate in rats the impact of a selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitor (meloxicam) on bone loss in ligature-induced periodontitis and its post-treatment effect after administration withdrawal. METHODS Seventy-five adult male Wistar rats were included. After anesthesia, a mandibular first molar was randomly assigned to receive the cotton ligature in the sulcular position, while the contralateral tooth was left unligated. The animals were randomly assigned to one of the following five treatment groups (15 animals each), including daily subcutaneous injections: 1) saline solution for 15 days; 2) saline solution for 45 days; 3) 3 mg/kg of meloxicam for 15 days; 4) 3 mg/kg of meloxicam for 45 days; or 5) 3 mg/kg of meloxicam for 15 days followed by saline solution for 30 days. The animals were sacrificed and the specimens routinely processed. The volume of bone loss was histometrically measured and statistical analysis performed. RESULTS Intergroup comparisons demonstrated that the drug may significantly reduce periodontitis-related bone loss (group 3: 5.83 +/- 2.04); however, this effect is less evident when the drug is administered in a short period (group 4: 3.59 +/- 1.57). Moreover, after drug withdrawal, no residual effect was observed (6.86 +/- 3.59, 6.09 +/- 2.66, groups 2 and 5, respectively) (P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Within the limits of the present study, it can be concluded that selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibitors may reduce bone loss associated with experimental periodontitis and that no remaining effect can be expected after its withdrawal.

Abstract
Among the numerous factors of bone remodelling, the local action of arachidonic acid metabolites together with cytokines, is particularly important, especially that of prostaglandin PGE2. It has been suggested that the alveolar bone destruction in periodontal disease and osteoporosis can be treated by reducing the ratio of arachidonic acid in phospholipids, which would diminish prostaglandin production. The aim of this study was to evaluate the main serum polyunsaturated fatty acids and a possible alteration in the level of arachidonic acid in patients suffering from periodontal bone loss. Of the 105 patients who participated the study, 78 were suffering from periodontal bone loss and 27 served as a control group. The fatty acids were measured in serum by gas-chromatography. The results showed that the level of fatty acids of the n-6 pathway was higher in our patients with bone loss than in the control group, whereas the reverse was observed with fatty acids of the n-3 pathway. In conclusion, our patients' bone losses are linked with an imbalance between n-6 and n-3 fatty acids, which seems to justify a diet increase in 20- and 22-carbon fatty acids.

Abstract
BACKGROUND It is just 100 years since the introduction of aspirin to medicine. Since then, aspirin and its derivatives have been joined by acetaminophen, and the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs--ibuprofen, naproxen sodium, and ketoprofen--as the only over-the-counter (OTC) agents approved by the US Food and Drug Administration for the short-term treatment of pain, headache, dysmenorrhea, and fever. Recently the prescription use of aspirin has expanded to include a number of antiplatelet indications. OBJECTIVE The purpose of this paper is to review critically the history, mechanisms of action, efficacy, and tolerability of OTC analgesic and antipyretic products. Relatively new and potential future indications for these drugs are also discussed. CONCLUSION Although all of the OTC analgesic/antipyretic agents seem to share a common mechanism of prostaglandin inhibition, there are important differences in their pharmacology, efficacy, and side-effect profiles. Considering their often-unsupervised use, the risk-benefit ratio of this class of drugs has been extremely favorable. However, when used inappropriately, even these drugs pose significant risks to certain patient populations.

Abstract
In recent years, there has been a tremendous expansion in medical and dental research concerned with free radicals, reactive oxygen species, and anti-oxidant defense mechanisms. This review is intended to provide a critical, up-to-date summary of the field, with particular emphasis on its implications for the application of "anti-oxidant therapy" in periodontal disease. We have reviewed the nomenclature, mechanisms of actions, features, and sources of most common free radicals and reactive oxygen species, as well as analyzed the typical biological targets for oxidative damage. Based on a review of direct and indirect anti-oxidant host defenses, particularly in relation to the key role of polymorphonuclear neutrophils in periodontitis, we review current evidence for oxidative damage in chronic inflammatory periodontal disease, and the possible therapeutic effects of anti-oxidants in treating and/or preventing such pathology, with special attention to vitamin E and Co-enzyme Q.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agents (e.g., ketoprofen) used topically appear to be effective in reducing bone loss in the ligature model of periodontitis. Ketoprofen, in common with some food preservatives, e.g., benzoate and sorbate, is a weak acid. Fluoride, too, may behave as a weak acid and, similar to the other agents, may exert antibacterial effects. The purpose of the present study was to determine whether a combination of (S)-ketoprofen, an enantiomer of ketoprofen, alone or in combination with fluoride, would suppress Streptococcus sobrinus populations and reduce the incidence of dental caries in rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS Toothpastes containing ketoprofen and/or monofluorophosphate were applied to the teeth of six groups of 20 rats twice daily for 5 weeks. RESULTS Fewest S. sobrinus were found in the group treated with a paste containing 3% (S)-ketoprofen + 0.1% F. This group also displayed the lowest incidence of smooth surface caries of all groups. Severity of sulcal surface caries was also lowest in this group. CONCLUSIONS Results from this study show that the (S) enantiomer of ketoprofen enhances the caries protective effect of fluoride. It is conceivable that this combination could be effective in combating the two most common maladies of the mouth; periodontal disease and dental caries.

Abstract
The pharmacokinetics of ketoprofen were determined after an intravenous (i.v.) and intramuscular (i.m.) dose of 2.0 mg/kg body weight in five camels (Camelus dromedarius) using gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The data obtained (median and range) following i.v. administration was as follows: the elimination half-life (t(1/2beta)) was 4.16 (2.65-4.29) h, the steady state volume of distribution (Vss) was 130.2 (103.4-165.3) mL/kg, volume of distribution (area method) (Vd(area)) was 321.5 (211.4-371.0) mL/kg, total body clearance (Cl) was 1.00 (0.88-1.08) mL/min x kg and renal clearance was 0.01 (0.003-0.033) mL/min x kg. Following i.m. administration, the drug was rapidly absorbed with peak serum concentration of 12.2 (4.80-14.4) microg/mL at 1.50 (1.00-2.00) h. The systemic availability of ketoprofen was complete. The apparent half-life was 3.28 (2.56-4.14) h. A hydroxylated metabolite of ketoprofen was identified by (GC/MS) under electron impact (EI) and chemical ionization (CI) scan modes. The detection times for ketoprofen and hydroxy ketoprofen in urine after an intravenous (i.v.) dose of 3.0 mg/kg body weight was 24.00 and 70.00 h, respectively. Serum protein binding of ketoprofen at 20 microg/mL was extensive; (99.1+/-0.15%).

Abstract
This clinical trial used a randomized, partially double-blind, controlled parallel design to evaluate the pharmacokinetics and safety of the NSAID, ketoprofen (KTP), in gel formulations. Forty-two subjects, ages 35 to 57 years, with generalized, moderate to advanced adult periodontitis were recruited and randomized to one of 5 treatments over a 14 1/2-day treatment period: (1) 0.5% KTP gel; (2) 1.0% KTP gel; (3) 1.0% KTP alternate gel; (4) 2.0% KTP gel; and (5) 25 mg KTP capsule (positive control). Plasma samples were obtained on days 1 (pre-dosing, 0.5, 1, 2, 3, 6 hr), 8 (pre-dosing, 2 hr), 15 (pre-dosing, 2 hr), and 22 (7 days post-treatment). Plasma KTP concentrations were determined by means of high-performance liquid chromatography. Significant differences in mean area under the plasma concentration vs. time curve (AUC(0-infinity)) among the groups were detected (p < 0.001), with the 25 mg p.o. capsule exhibiting the largest value (5054 ng-hr/mL), the 2.0% gel exhibiting an intermediate value (2244 ng-hr/mL), the 1.0% gels exhibiting lower but comparable values (1516 for the alternate formulation vs. 1461 ng-hr/mL), and the 0.5% gel showing the lowest value (736 ng-hr/mL). Significant differences in dose- and weight-adjusted maximum plasma concentration (Cmax/dose/kg) were detected overall such that the 25 mg p.o. capsule demonstrated higher values as compared with the 4 gel formulations (p = 0.001). The 5 treatments exhibited similar mean times of maximum plasma concentration (tmax) values ranging from 0.6 to 1 hr. Systemic exposures relative to dose and body weight were lower for the gel formulations than for the capsule. The relative systemic bioavailability of the gels compared with peroral administration ranged from 54% to 69%.

Abstract
The effects of topical ketorolac tromethamine mouthrinse (0.1%) on gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations were investigated in a 6-week, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel group, single center study of 42 patients with moderately advanced chronic adult periodontitis. Following screening, GCF was sampled from 6 sites per subject with filter paper strips and PGE2 levels measured using an enzyme immunoassay kit. Only those subjects with mouth median GCF PGE2 concentrations >30 ng/ml entered the rinsing phase. Eligible subjects were allocated placebo rinse in the first 2-week period (days 0 through 14), either ketorolac rinse (test group, n = 21) or placebo rinse (control group, n = 21) in the second 2-week period (days 14 through 28), and placebo rinse in the third 2-week period (days 28 through 42). Full mouth median GCF PGE2 concentrations were calculated for each subject at days 0, 14, 28, and 42, and group means were compared. From day 0 to day 14, no significant changes in GCF PGE2 concentrations were detected in either study group (P > 0.05). Utilizing mean GCF PGE2 concentrations at days 0 and 14 as covariates, no significant differences were observed in adjusted mean PGE2 levels at days 28 and 42 between the study groups (ANCOVA, P > 0.05). A statistically significant increase in GCF PGE2 levels was noted at days 28 and 42 in the placebo group (P < 0.01), but not in the ketorolac group (P > 0.05), when compared to baseline, however. GCF PGE2 levels were further studied in a subset of volunteers (n = 11) during a 12-hour period following first rinsing with mouthrinse (active or placebo) at day 14. GCF was sampled 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours post-rinsing. Mean PGE2 levels were higher in the placebo subgroup than in the ketorolac subgroup, and increased gradually over the 12-hour period in both subgroups. These data indicate that 1) 14 days of rinsing with 0.1% ketorolac mouthrinse controlled the elevation of GCF PGE2 observed in the placebo group but did not actually reduce GCF PGE2 concentrations and 2) changes in GCF PGE2 levels were not detectable in the 12-hour period following first rinsing with ketorolac.
