Abstract
BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to investigate the effects of colchicine on cytokine production, apoptosis, alveolar bone loss, and oxidative stress in an experimental model of periodontitis in rats. METHODS Forty-eight rats were divided equally into four groups: healthy (H); periodontitis (P); periodontitis+colchicine low dose (CL, 30 μg/kg/day), and periodontitis+colchicine high dose (CH, 100 μg/kg/day). After 11 days, interleukin (IL) -1β, IL-8, and IL-10 were analyzed in gingival samples using Enzyme-Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay. Receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-B ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), total oxidative stress (TOS), total antioxidant status (TAS), and oxidative stress index (OSI) were measured in gingiva and serum. Alveolar bone volume was evaluated via micro-CT. Apoptotic cells were detected by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay in histological sections. RESULTS Colchicine treatment significantly reduced IL-1β, IL-8, RANKL, RANKL/OPG, TOS, OSI, and bone volume ratio levels, and increased TAS levels compared to group P (p < 0.05). High dose colchicine treatment (CH) significantly decreased TUNEL+ cell counts compared to group P (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS These finding suggest that colchicine has a prophylactic potential for the prevention of periodontal tissue destruction through anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidative, anti-apoptotic, and bone-protective effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Subantibiotic doses of doxycycline (low-dose doxycycline [LDD]) have been widely used in periodontal treatment for enzymatic inhibition and related anti-inflammatory properties. The aim of the present study is to verify the possible effects of LDD on oxidative stress in relation to periodontal attachment loss associated with ligature-induced experimental periodontal disease in rats. METHODS Thirty female Wistar albino rats were divided into three study groups as follows: 1) control (C) rats; 2) rats with experimental periodontitis (PED); and 3) rats with PED that were treated with doxycycline (PED + LDD). PED was induced by placing ligatures around the cervix of the maxillary second molars for 21 days. The PED + LDD group was treated orally with doxycycline (6 mg/kg) for 21 days after the ligature was placed. After 21 days, the rats were euthanized, and samples of the right maxilla were defleshed and used for histologic and morphometric analyses. The gingival tissue of the left maxilla was used for the analysis of lipid peroxidation (malondialdehyde [MDA]) and antioxidant enzymes (catalase, glutathione peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase). Levels of serum total antioxidant status (TAS)/total oxidant status (TOS) and oxidative stress index (OSI) were also analyzed. RESULTS Alveolar bone loss was significantly higher in the PED group compared with the PED + LDD and C groups (P <0.05). Doxycycline exhibited the most prominent inhibition on gingival tissue levels of MDA and antioxidant enzymes (P <0.05). Doxycycline also significantly reduced TOS and OSI levels (P <0.05) but increased the TAS level. CONCLUSION Doxycycline helps to prevent periodontal tissue breakdown by inhibiting local and systemic oxidative stress.

Abstract
Osteoporosis and periodontal disease (PD) are frequently associated in the elderly, both concurring to the loss of jaw alveolar bone and finally of teeth. Bisphosphonates improve alveolar bone loss but have also been associated with osteonecrosis of the jaw (ONJ), particularly using oncological doses of zoledronate. The effects and therapeutic margin of zoledronate on jaw bone therefore remain uncertain. We reappraised the efficacy and safety of Zoledronate (Zol) in ovariectomized (OVX) periostin (Postn)-deficient mice, a unique genetic model of systemic and jaw osteopenia. Compared to vehicle, Zol 1M (100 µg/kg/month) and Zol 1W (100 µg/kg/week) for 3 months both significantly improved femur BMD, trabecular bone volume on tissue volume (BV/TV) and cortical bone volume in both OVX Postn+/+ and Postn−/− (all p<0.01). Zol 1M and Zol 1W also improved jaw alveolar and basal BV/TV, although the highest dose (Zol 1W) was less efficient, particularly in Postn−/−. Zol decreased osteoclast number and bone formation indices, i.e. MAR, MPm/BPm and BFR, independently in Postn−/− and Postn+/+, both in the long bones and in deep jaw alveolar bone, without differences between Zol doses. Zol 1M and Zol 1W did not reactivate inflammation nor increase fibrous tissue in the bone marrow of the jaw, whereas the distance between the root and the enamel of the incisor (DRI) remained high in Postn−/− vs Postn+/+ confirming latent inflammation and lack of crestal alveolar bone. Zol 1W and Zol 1M decreased osteocyte numbers in Postn−/− and Postn+/+ mandible, and Zol 1W increased the number of empty lacunae in Postn−/−, however no areas of necrotic bone were observed. These results demonstrate that zoledronate improves jaw osteopenia and suggest that in Postn−/− mice, zoledronate is not sufficient to induce bone necrosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Periodontitis is a polymicrobial infection characterized by the loss of connective tissue attachment, periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of Porphyromonas gingivalis inoculation on the ligature-induced alveolar bone loss (ABL) model in rats. MATERIAL AND METHODS Forty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to the following groups: G1, control (n = 10); G2, ligature-induced ABL (n = 15); and G3, ligature-induced ABL + P. gingivalis inoculation (n = 15). Rats in G2 and G3 were killed 15, 21 and 30 d after ligature placement, and the following parameters were assessed: microbiological load; ABL; and interleukin (IL)-1β (Il1beta)/Il1ra, Il6/Il10 and Rankl/osteoprotegerin (Opg) mRNA ratios in the gingival tissues, as determined by quantitative PCR. RESULTS Microbiological analyses demonstrated that rats in G1, G2 and G3 were positive for the presence of bacteria (determined using PCR amplification of the 16S gene), but that only the treatment sites of rats in G3 were positive for P. gingivalis at all time-points investigated. Histometrically, significant bone loss (p<0.001) was observed for both ligated groups (G2 and G3) compared with the nonligated group (G1), with higher ABL observed for G2 at all the experimental time-points. Furthermore, gene-expression analysis demonstrated that the presence of P. gingivalis in the dentogingival area significantly decreased the Il1β/Il1ra, Il6/Il10 and Rankl/Opg mRNA ratios compared with ligature alone. CONCLUSION Within the limits of this pilot study, it was concluded that inoculation of P. gingivalis affected the ligature-induced ABL model by the induction of an anti-inflammatory and antiresorptive host response.

Abstract
This study is a histomorphometrical analysis of the influence of the bisphosphonate alendronate on alveolar bone density. Eighteen male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to a control group (n = 9) that received no medication and an experimental group (n = 9) that received oral alendronate (1 mg/kg) from birth until euthanization at 3 months of age. Semi-serial 4-µm-thick transverse sections were obtained from the region between the roots of the left maxillary first molar, stained with hematoxylin and eosin, and examined with a Zeiss Axioskop II optical microscope for histomorphometric analysis. The images were captured with a digital camera coupled with the microscope and connected to a computer, and were analyzed using Image J 1.34s image-analysis software. A 1,200-point grid was positioned onto each digitized image. The number of intersection points of grid lines in the bone tissue was counted. The ratio between the number of points in the bone tissue and the total number of points of the grid (1,200) was used to determine the bone density of the analyzed tissue. Data from the control and experimental groups were compared and analyzed statistically by the Student's t-test (p = 0.05). There was no statistically significant difference (p = 0.3754) in the alveolar bone density between the control and alendronate-treated animals. It may be concluded that the bisphosphonate alendronate did not alter the morphology of the alveolar bone, maintaining its structural tissue characteristics in healthy animals.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Bisphosphonates are potent inhibitors of bone resorption and were shown to inhibit bone resorption in experimental periodontitis by unknown mechanisms. We studied the effect of the aminobisphosphonate sodium alendronate (SA) in experimental periodontitis. Wistar rats were subjected to ligature placement around the second upper left molars. METHODS Animals were treated with SA 0.01 to 0.25 mg/kg subcutaneously (sc), either 1 hour before (prophylactic) or starting 5 days after (therapeutic) periodontitis induction and daily until the rats were sacrificed (11 days). Controls received saline. Animals were weighed daily. Alveolar bone loss was measured as the difference (in millimeters) between the cusp tip and the alveolar bone. The periodontium and the surrounding gingivae were examined at histopathology, and the neutrophil influx into the gingivae was assayed using myeloperoxidase activity. The local bacterial flora was assessed through culture of the gingival tissue in standard aerobic and anaerobic media. RESULTS Alveolar bone loss was significantly and dose dependently inhibited by SA either as a prophylactic or therapeutic treatment compared to the control. SA reduced tissue lesion at histopathology, with partial preservation of the periodontium, coupled to decreased myeloperoxidase activity compared to the control. The reduced neutrophil influx was also shown in carrageenan-induced peritonitis, used as a control experiment for this parameter. SA also significantly inhibited the growth of pigmented bacilli and Fusobacterium nucleatum, which are important in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease. SA also inhibited the in vitro growth of isolated Peptostreptococcus sp. CONCLUSION Sodium alendronate preserves alveolar bone resorption and has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities in experimental periodontitis.

Abstract
Periodontitis are bacterium-driven inflammatory diseases that destroy tooth-supporting tissues whose complete restoration is not currently possible. RGTA, a new class of agents, have this capacity in an animal model. Periodontitis was induced in hamsters and, starting 8 weeks later, injected RG1503, a glycosaminoglycan synthesized from a 40 kDa dextran behaving like a heparan sulfate mimetic (1.5 mg kg(-1) w(-1)) or saline for 8 weeks. The three periodontium compartments were evaluated by immunohistochemistry and morphometry. The gingival extracellular matrix disorganized by inflammation was restoring under treatment. The collagen network was repaired and resumed its previous organization. Fibrillin-1 expression was restored so that the elastic network rebuilt at a distance from the pocket and began to reconstruct near the pocket. Apoptotic cell numbers were decreased in the pocket epithelium, and more so in the infiltrated connective tissue. The continuity and the thickness of the basement membrane were restored and testified normalization of epithelium connective tissue interaction. The amount of alveolar bone increased around the first molar, and the interradicular bone was rebuilt. The root cementum was thickened and the number of proliferating cells in the periodontal ligament was increased close to the cementum. RG1503 treatment induces potent anabolic reactions in the extracellular matrices of the different tissues of the periodontium and recruitment of progenitors. In particular, the cell proliferation close to the root surface suggests the reformation of a functional attachment apparatus. These results demonstrate that RG1503 reverses the degenerative changes induced by inflammation and favors the conditions of a regenerative process. Thus, RGTA, a known matrix component mimetic and protector, may be considered as a new therapeutic tool to regenerate the tissues destroyed by periodontitis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Periodontitis is characterized by gingival inflammation, periodontal pocket formation, and bacterial plaque that lead to alveolar bone destruction. Research studies have recently begun to evaluate the effect of antiresorptive agents using experimental models of periodontitis. Bisphosphonates are the most frequently tested antiresorptive agents; their main effect is inhibition of bone resorption. The aim of this study was to perform a histomorphometric evaluation of the preventive effect of monosodium olpadronate (OPD), an aminobisphosphonate, on experimental periodontitis (EP). METHODS Twenty male Wistar rats were used in this experiment. The animals were assigned to one of two groups: group I: EP; and group II: EP plus topical administration of OPD (EP + OPD). The contralateral side in both groups served as untreated controls (CI and CII), respectively. Mesio-distally oriented sections of each lower first molar were obtained for histomorphometric evaluation. RESULTS The treated group (EP + OPD) exhibited marked inhibition of bone loss; interradicular bone volume was significantly greater than that observed in the EP group. The height of the periodontal ligament in the interradicular alveolar bone, which served as an indirect measure of bone loss, was found to be significantly increased in the EP group as compared to the EP + OPD group. Osteoclasts in the OPD treated group were detached from the bone surface, were round in shape, and exhibited a loss of polarity and lack of ruffled borders. CONCLUSIONS The dose used herein was found to inhibit bone loss and to cause marked morphologic changes in osteoclasts. The drug effectively prevented bone loss caused by periodontitis.

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. CONCLUSION After validation in long-term clinical trials, adjunctive host modulation therapy may prove advantageous in the management of periodontal diseases.

Abstract
Loss of teeth results in irreversible alveolar bone resorption, and untreated dental disease causes alveolar bone lysis that ultimately leads to loss of teeth. In addition to anchoring the teeth in the alveolar ridge, the maxillary and mandibular bone allows dental restoration procedures, such as construction of root-supported implants, fixed dentures, or removable dentures. However, the functional and cosmetic results depend on the quantity and quality of the maxillary or mandibular bone, which can be affected by many normal and abnormal processes. The alveoli are particularly fragile and labile. Changes in alveolar bone vary considerably across individuals and depend directly on local factors. Many studies have investigated associations between alveolar bone status and bone mass at other skeletal sites. These studies focused chiefly on the course of parodontal disease, alveolar ridge resorption after tooth extraction, and density differences across various mandibular sites. They produced conflicting results, probably because of differences in measurement methods. Measurement sites and methods should be standardized to ensure that reliable and comparable data are obtained. To date, there are few reliable methods for obtaining quantitative measurements of bone mineral content in maxillary and mandibular bone.

Abstract
The trauma involved with inserting implants into bone leads to an activation of the inflammatory response and an activation of osteoclasts. In addition, apoptosis of osteocytes in the surrounding area has been implicated in further activation of osteoclasts. If the balance between resorption and bone formation shortly after implantation favours resorption, an impairment of early fixation might ensue. Because bisphosphonates inhibit resorption, this study analyses whether they can improve early fixation. Stainless steel screws (M 1.7) were inserted into the tibiae of 76 male Sprague-Dawley rats. Daily subcutaneous injections of ibandronate (3 microg) or saline were given to 20 rats. The remaining rats received ibandronate or saline directly applied into the drill hole before the screw was inserted. Tibiae were harvested at 14 days. Mechanical tests were performed on 50 tibiae. Systemically treated tibiae were tested for pull-out strength alone. Locally treated tibiae were tested for either pull-out or torque resistance. The remaining 18 tibiae were prepared for histology. Systemic ibandronate increased the pull-out force at failure by 30% (p=0.04). Local treatment increased the force at failure by 15% (p=0.02) and stiffness by 28% (p=0.01). In the removal torque measurements, local ibandronate increased the torque-moment at failure by 60% (p=0.04), and the maximum friction moment by 51% (p=0.04). Energy for turning the screw 1/4 revolution was increased by 68% (p=0.02). These results demonstrate that early remodeling events plays an important role in screw fixation, and that systemic or local bisphosphonate treatment could be an effective pharmacological path to improve early implant fixation.
