RESUMO
Contemporary dentistry has increased the demand for predictable functional and esthetic results in a short period of time without compromising the long-term success of rehabilitation. Recent advances in surgical techniques have provided alternatives that allow the prosthetic rehabilitation of complex implant-supported cases through minimally invasive techniques. In this context, immediate dentoalveolar restoration (IDR) was described aiming at restoring function and esthetics through the reconstruction of lost periodontal tissues followed by immediate implant placement in order to minimize treatment time and surgical morbidity in a one-stage approach. Therefore, the aim of this clinical case is to describe the reconstruction and rehabilitation of a hopeless tooth in the maxillary region in a one-stage approach by means of IDR. The proposed steps to rehabilitate the case involved atraumatic dental extraction, immediate implant placement, and hard tissue augmentation by means of cortical-medullary bone graft harvested from the maxillary tuberosity. Afterwards, a provisional restoration was manufactured and installed to the implant allowing immediate prosthesis provisionalization and function in the same operatory time. Six months after the surgical procedure, the final prosthesis was manufactured and installed. The follow-up of nine years demonstrated the preservation of hard and soft tissue without tissue alteration and a successful esthetic outcome. The surgical protocol used allowed the ideal three-dimensional placement of the implant with the restoration of the bone buccal wall, favoring the esthetic and functional outcome of the case with harmony between white and pink esthetics. In conclusion, the employed treatment validated immediate implant-supported restoration of the missing tooth with high predictability. Furthermore, this protocol resulted in fewer surgical interventions, regeneration, and preservation of peri-implant tissues reaching the patient's expectations.
RESUMO
Recent evidence suggests an association between hypertension and periodontitis, although the pathways and implications underlying both chronic conditions are still poorly understood. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between hypertension and periodontitis through an observational clinical study using periodontal, physical, and biochemical analyses in hypertensive and non-hypertensive individuals with periodontitis. A total of one hundred patients were divided into two groups. The first group was hypertensive patients with periodontitis. The second group was non-hypertensive patients with periodontitis. Periodontal parameters of probing depth, bleeding on probing, and clinical attachment level were evaluated. The systolic, diastolic, mean, and differential blood pressure were measured in the physical examination. In addition, body mass index and waist-hip ratio were verified. Biochemical tests for glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood glucose, estimated blood glucose, total cholesterol, high-density lipoprotein, creatinine, glutamate pyruvate transaminase, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, and C-reactive protein were evaluated. The data were submitted for statistical analysis (α = 0.05%). The results of this study demonstrated that patients with cardiovascular disease did not present with worse periodontal clinical parameters in the conditions studied. However, it is important to bear in mind that this cross-sectional study has some inherent limitations to its design; therefore, to study the relationship between hypertension and periodontitis further, an interventional randomized clinical trial should be conducted.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The resorption of alveolar ridge bone and maxillary sinus pneumatization are challenges to implant-supported prosthetic rehabilitation. Bone regeneration using bone substitutes and growth factors are alternatives for maxillary sinus augmentation (MSA). Therefore, we sought to evaluate the effects of the association between leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) and deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) in MSA procedures. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Thirty-six maxillary sinuses from 24 individuals were included in this randomized clinical trial. The maxillary sinuses were randomly grafted with LPRF and DBBM (test group) or grafted only with DBBM (positive control). Dental implants were installed in the test group following two periods of evaluation: after 4 (DBBM+LPRF4) and 8 (DBBM+LPFR8) months of sinus graft healing, while the control group received implants only after 8 months. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) was taken 1 week after surgery (T1) and before implant placement (T2). Bone samples were collected during implant placement for histomorphometric and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis. The primary implant stability was assessed by resonance frequency analysis. RESULTS: CBCT analysis demonstrated a significant decrease in bone volume from T1 to T2 in all groups without differences among them. Histologically, the test group showed significantly increase in bone neoformation in both periods of evaluation (LPRF+DBBM4: 44.70±14.01%; LPRF+DBBM8: 46.56±12.25%) compared to the control group (32.34±9.49%). The control group showed the highest percentage of residual graft. IHC analysis showed increased staining intensity of osteocalcin (OCN), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), and runt related transcription factor 2 (RUNX-2) in LPRF+DBBM4 group, and osteopontin (OPN) in the L-PRF+DBBM8. Primary implant stability was successfully achieved (above 60 in implant stability quotient) in all the evaluated groups. CONCLUSION: Combination of L-PRF and DBBM increased and accelerated new bone formation allowing early implant placement probably due to the higher protein expression of RUNX2, VEGF, OCN, and OPN. These data suggest that the use of L-PRF might be an interesting alternative to use in combination with DBBM for augment the maxillary sinuses allowing the installation of appropriate length implants in shorter period of time. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: This study showed improvement in bone neoformation and accelerated healing when associating L-PRF and DBBM for maxillary sinus augmentation procedures. TRIAL REGISTRATION: This study was registered before participant recruitment in Brazilian Registry of Clinical Trials (ReBEC - RBR-95m73t).

We sought to evaluate the effects of non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) on periodontal clinical parameters, systemic blood pressure (BP), and plasma levels of systemic inflammation markers in patients with combined refractory arterial hypertension (RAH) and stage III grade B periodontitis. Twenty-seven participants with RAH and periodontitis received NSPT. The analyzed clinical parameters were probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), bleeding on probing (BOP), and plaque index (PI). An assessment was performed for systemic BP, complete blood count, coagulogram, creatinine measurement, C-reactive protein (CRP), glycated hemoglobin, cholesterol, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, glutamate pyruvic transaminase, waist-hip ratio, and body mass index. In the follow-up period, twenty-two patients were evaluated at baseline and after 90 and 180 days. The data were submitted for statistical analysis (α = 0.05%). As expected, the clinical results showed a significant improvement in the percentages of PI, BOP, PD, and CAL, which were statistically significant at 90 and 180 days (p < 0.0001). Importantly, NSPT significantly reduced the blood level of CRP (p < 0.02). However, no significant reduction in BP parameters was noted in the evaluated follow-up periods. NSPT, despite the benefits in periodontal clinical parameters, reduced the plasma level of CRP but not the BP in patients with combined RAH and periodontitis.
RESUMO
Periodontitis, a highly prevalent multicausal chronic inflammatory and destructive disease, develops as a result of complex host-parasite interactions. Dysbiotic bacterial biofilm in contact with the gingival tissues initiates a cascade of inflammatory events, mediated and modulated by the host's immune response, which is characterized by increased expression of several inflammatory mediators such as cytokines and chemokines in the connective tissue. If periodontal disease (PD) is left untreated, it results in the destruction of the supporting tissues around the teeth, including periodontal ligament, cementum, and alveolar bone, which lead to a wide range of disabilities and poor quality of life, thus imposing significant burdens. This process depends on the differentiation and activity of osteoclasts, the cells responsible for reabsorbing the bone tissue. Therefore, the inhibition of differentiation or activity of these cells is a promising strategy for controlling bone resorption. Several pharmacological drugs that target osteoclasts and inflammatory cells with immunomodulatory and anti-inflammatory effects, such as bisphosphonates, anti-RANK-L antibody, strontium ranelate, cathepsin inhibitors, curcumin, flavonoids, specialized proresolving mediators, and probiotics, were already described to manage inflammatory bone resorption during experimental PD progression in preclinical studies. Meantime, a growing number of studies have described the beneficial effects of herbal products in inhibiting bone resorption in experimental PD. Therefore, this review summarizes the role of several pharmacological drugs used for PD prevention and treatment and highlights the targeted action of all those drugs with antiresorptive properties. In addition, our review provides a timely and critical appraisal for the scientific rationale use of the antiresorptive and immunomodulatory medications in preclinical studies, which will help to understand the basis for its clinical application.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of voluntary physical activity (VPA) on inflammatory profile and the progression of experimental periodontal disease (PD) in mice. METHODS: Male C57BL/6 mice were randomly distributed into Control; VPA; PD and PD/VPA groups. We registered VPA (total volume of revolutions) and average speed (revolutions/minute) in a free running wheel for 30 days. On the 15th day, animals from the PD and PD/VPA groups received ligatures on the upper second molars bilaterally. On the 30th day animals were euthanized, and PD progression was assessed by measuring alveolar bone loss (ABL - the linear distance between the cemento-enamel junction and the alveolar bone crest on the teeth buccal surface). Gene expression of RANKL (kappa nuclear factor B receptor) OPG (osteoprotegerin), IL-1ß (interleukin 1 beta), IL-6 (interleukin 6) and TNF-α (tumor necrosis factor alpha) were evaluated by real-time PCR (quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction - relative gene expression). RESULTS: The total volume of physical activity and the activity speed decreased along the seven days after ligature-placement (p < 0.05), returning to a similar pattern in relation to VPA group. Ligature placement produced significant bone resorption, and increased RANKL, IL-1ß, IL-6 and TNF-α expression. VPA reduced ABL (p < 0,05) and the expression of TNF-α and IL-1ß, whereas increased OPG expression. CONCLUSION: Animals induced to PD with access to the VPA wheel presented both lower gingival inflammation and less alveolar bone resorption in comparison to animals without access to the wheel.

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Many studies have been conducted to better understand the molecular mechanism involved with periodontitis progression. There has been growing interest in the potential impact of obesity on periodontitis onset and progression, but the mechanisms involved remain to be elucidated. The present study was designed to determine the impact of obesity on experimentally induced periodontitis in rats and identify novel pathways involved. METHODS: Sixteen Holtzman rats were distributed into two groups (n = 8): ligature-induced periodontitis (P) and obesity plus ligature-induced periodontitis (OP). Obesity was induced by a high-fat diet for 70 days, whereas periodontitis was induced for 20 days, with a cotton thread placed around the upper first molars bilaterally. Alveolar bone loss was measured by microtomographic analysis and histologically by histometry on the hemimaxillae. The protein composition of the periodontal ligament was evaluated by proteomic analysis. RESULTS: Data analysis (body weight, adipose tissue weight, and blood test) confirmed obesity induction, whereas bone loss was confirmed by micro-CT and histologic analyses. Proteome analysis from the periodontal ligament tissues (PDL) identified 819 proteins, 53 exclusive to the P group, 28 exclusive to the OP group, and 738 commonly expressed. Validation was performed by immunohistochemistry for selected proteins (spondin1, vinculin, and TRAP). CONCLUSION: Histologically, it was found that obesity did not significantly affect bone loss resulting from periodontitis. However, the present study's findings indicated that obesity affects the proteome of PDL submitted to experimental periodontitis, allowing for identifying potential targets for personalized approaches.

Rehabilitation of atrophic maxilla with dental implants is still a challenge in clinical practice especially in cases of alveolar bone resorption due to peri-implantitis and pneumatization of the maxillary sinuses. Several surgical approaches have been employed to reconstruct the lost tissues allowing the proper tridimensional position of the implants. In this context, the aim of this case report is to describe a surgical and prosthetic approach to fully rehabilitate the atrophic maxilla with dental implants. The patient presented with unsatisfactory functional and esthetical implant-supported prosthesis with some of the implants already lost by peri-implantitis. The remaining three implants were also affected by peri-implantitis. Reversal prosthetic planning was performed, and a provisional prosthesis was fabricated and anchored in two short implants. Sinus floor augmentation procedure and onlay bone graft were then accomplished. After a healing period of 8 months, digital-guided surgery approach was performed to place the implants. Finally, a definitive prosthesis was installed. One-year follow-up has revealed stabilization of the bone tissue level, successful osseointegration, and a pleasant esthetic and functional result. A proper diagnosis and careful planning play an important role to enhance precision and to achieve patient esthetic and functional outcomes.
RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Orthodontic movement triggers a sequence of cellular and molecular events that may be affected by different systemic conditions. This study evaluated the effect of obesity on rat periodontal tissue remodeling induced by mechanical orthodontic force. METHODS: Thirty-two Holtzman rats were distributed into 4 groups: control, obesity induction (O), orthodontic movement (M), and obesity induction and orthodontic movement (OM). Obesity was induced by a high-fat diet for 90 days. After 15 days of orthodontic movement, the animals were killed. Obesity induction was confirmed by animal body weight, adipose tissue weight, and serologic analysis. Periodontal tissue remodeling was evaluated using microcomputed tomography and histologic analysis. The gene expression of adipokines and cytokines in gingival tissues was evaluated. RESULTS: An increase in body and adipose tissue weight was observed in the obesity induction groups. The O group presented an increase in lipids and blood glucose. The OM group showed a decrease in bone volume fraction and bone mineral density compared with all other groups and a tendency for more rapid tooth movement than the M group. The OM group showed a higher quantity of inflammatory cells and higher Mmp1 expression than the O group. The O and OM groups showed higher Nampt expression than the control group and lower Nampt expression than the M group. CONCLUSIONS: Obesity modulates periodontal tissue remodeling during orthodontic movement and results in more inflammation and bone loss than in nonobese animals.

Previous studies have shown that topical application of lectin Artin-M accelerates wound healing in the rat oral mucosa. The aim of this study was to evaluate, by means of histology and immunohistochemistry (IHC) the effects of Artin-M on wound healing in the palatal mucosa in dogs. Three full thickness wounds of 6 mm diameter were surgically created in the palatal mucosa of twenty dogs and randomly divided into three groups according to one of the treatment assigned: Group C-Control (coagulum); Group A-Artin-M gel; Group V-Vehicle (carboxymethylcellulose 3%). Each animal received all the three experimental treatments. Afterwards, four animals were killed at 2, 4, 7, 14 and 21 days post-surgery. Wounded areas were photographed and scored for macroscopic evaluation. Biopsies were harvested and used for descriptive histological analysis, proliferating cell nuclear antigen IHC and measurement of myeloperoxidase activity. The results demonstrated faster wound closure in group A in comparison to the other groups in all the periods evaluated. Histological analyses exhibited improved re-epithelialization and collagen fiber formation resulting in faster maturation of granulation tissue in group A compared to the other groups by day 14. Treatment with Artin-M gel significantly induced cell proliferation and increased volumetric density of fibroblasts at day 2 and 4 (p < 0.05). Neutrophil infiltration in group A was significantly higher than the other groups (p < 0.05) at the same time points. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that Artin-M may potentially favor wound healing on palatal mucosa lesions via recruitment of neutrophils and promotion of cell proliferation.

Lipoproteins are important bacterial immunostimulating molecules capable of inducing receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB (RANKL) and osteoclast formation in vitro and in vivo . Although these molecules are present in periodontopathogenic bacteria, their role in periodontitis is not known. In this study, we used Pam2CSK4 (PAM2), a synthetic molecule that mimics bacterial lipoprotein, to investigate the effects of lipoproteins on periodontitis in mice. C57BL/6 male mice were randomly divided into three experimental groups: 1) Negative control group: animals received vehicle injection; 2) Positive control group: animals received injection of Escherichia coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS); 3) PAM2 group: animals received PAM2 injection. All the injections were performed bilaterally every other day into the palatal mucosa between first and second molars. After twenty-four days, the animals were euthanized to assess alveolar bone volume (micro-CT), cellular and extracellular composition in the gingiva (stereometric analysis), and osteoclast numbers (TRAP staining). Treatment with either PAM2 or LPS induced gingival inflammation, as demonstrated by increased infiltration of inflammatory cells and enhanced angiogenesis, associated with a smaller number of fibroblasts and decreased extracellular matrix. Importantly, treatment not only with LPS but also with PAM2 resulted in a larger number of TRAP+ multinucleated osteoclasts and significant loss of alveolar bone. Collectively, our data demonstrate that PAM2 can induce gingival inflammation and bone loss in mice, broadening the avenues of investigation into the role of lipoproteins in the pathogenesis of periodontal disease.

We sought to evaluate the effects of magnesium (Mg) intake deficiency on bone metabolism in rats with induced periodontal disease (PD). Holtzman rats were randomly divided into two groups: Control - animals fed a standard diet and test - animals fed a diet with 90% Mg deficiency. After 60 days on the diets, all animals received ligature on the lower left first molars to induce PD. Animals were euthanized after 30 days following ligature placement. Blood and urine were collected for determination of serum concentrations of Mg, calcium, osteocalcin (OCN), alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone (PTH) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and the urinary concentration of deoxypyridinoline (DPD). Systemic bone mineral density (BMD), bone volume and architectural bone parameters were evaluated by micro-CT in L4 lumbar vertebrae and mandible. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase staining and immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), Runt-related transcription factor 2 (RUNX2), CD86, CD80, proliferating cell nuclear antigen, vascular endothelial growth factor, OCN and osteopontin were investigated. Reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction was employed to assess mRNA expression of receptor-activator of nuclear factor-kB ligand, osteoprotegerin (OPG) and interleukin (IL)-6. Mg deficiency was associated with higher concentrations of PTH and DPD, and significant decrease on both systemic and mandibular BMD, as well as greater severity of alveolar and trabecular bone loss. Significant increase in osteoclasts was observed in the test group with PD. IHC analysis showed significant increase in the expression of iNOS and decreased expression of OCN and RUNX2. Increased IL-6 mRNA and decreased OPG mRNA expressions were evidenced in the test group with PD. Mg deficiency caused systemic effects indicative of altered bone metabolism in the vertebrae and affected both immune and stromal cells, aggravating inflammatory bone resorption in the ligature-induced model of periodontitis.

Specialized proresolving mediators (SPRM), which arise from n-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3FA), promote resolution of inflammation and may help to prevent progression of an acute inflammatory response into chronic inflammation in patients with arthritis. Thus, this study is aimed at determining whether systemic RvE1 treatment reduces arthritis onset and severity in murine collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) and spontaneous cytokine production by human rheumatoid arthritis (RA) synovial explants. 10-week-old DBA1/J male mice were subjected to CIA and treated systemically with 0.1 µg RvE1, 1 µg RvE1, 5 mg/kg anti-TNF (positive control group), PBS (negative control group), or with a combination of 1 µg of RvE1 plus 5 mg/kg anti-TNF using prophylactic or therapeutic strategies. After CIA immunization, mice were treated twice a week by RvE1 or anti-TNF for 10 days. Arthritis development was assessed by visual scoring of paw swelling and histology of ankle joints. Moreover, human RA synovial explants were incubated with 1 nM, 10 nM, or 100 nM of RvE1, and cytokine levels (IL-1ß, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, INF-γ, and TNF-α) were measured using Luminex bead array. CIA triggered significant inflammation in the synovial cavity, proteoglycan loss, and cartilage and bone destruction in the ankle joints of mice. Prophylactic and therapeutic RvE1 regimens did not ameliorate CIA incidence and severity. Anti-TNF treatment significantly abrogated signs of joint inflammation, bone erosion, and proteoglycan depletion, but additional RvE1 treatment did not further reduce the anti-TNF-mediated suppression of the disease. Treatment with different concentrations of RvE1 did not decrease the expression of proinflammatory cytokines in human RA synovial explants in the studied conditions. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that RvE1 treatment was not an effective approach to treat CIA in DBA1/J mice in both prophylactic and therapeutic strategies. Furthermore, no effects were noticed when human synovial explants were incubated with different concentrations of RvE1.

The association between rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and periodontal disease (PD) has been the focus of numerous investigations driven by their common pathological features. RA is an autoimmune disease characterized by chronic inflammation, the production of anti-citrullinated proteins antibodies (ACPA) leading to synovial joint inflammation and destruction. PD is a chronic inflammatory condition associated with a dysbiotic microbial biofilm affecting the supporting tissues around the teeth leading to the destruction of mineralized and non-mineralized connective tissues. Chronic inflammation associated with both RA and PD is similar in the predominant adaptive immune phenotype, in the imbalance between pro- and anti-inflammatory cytokines and in the role of smoking and genetic background as risk factors. Structural damage that occurs in consequence of chronic inflammation is the ultimate cause of loss of function and disability observed with the progression of RA and PD. Interestingly, the periodontal pathogen Porphyromonas gingivalis has been implicated in the generation of ACPA in RA patients, suggesting a direct biological intersection between PD and RA. However, more studies are warranted to confirm this link, elucidate potential mechanisms involved, and ascertain temporal associations between RA and PD. This review is mainly focused on recent clinical and translational research intends to discuss and provide an overview of the relationship between RA and PD, exploring the similarities in the immune-pathological aspects and the possible mechanisms linking the development and progression of both diseases. In addition, the current available treatments targeting both RA and PD were revised.

PURPOSE: To investigate the effectiveness of adding leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) to deproteinized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) for early implant placement after maxillary sinus augmentation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Twelve patients requiring two-stage bilateral maxillary sinus augmentation were enrolled to the study. The elevated sinus cavities were randomly grafted with DBBM + L-PRF (test) or DBBM alone (control) in a split-mouth design. Implants were placed in the augmented sites after 4 months in the test group and 8 months in the control group. Bone biopsies were collected during implant placement for histomorphometric evaluation. Resonance frequency analysis was performed immediately after implant placement and at implant loading in both groups. Cone-beam computed tomography was obtained preoperatively and postoperatively for evaluation of graft volume changes. RESULTS: Both procedures were effective for maxillary sinus augmentation. Cone-beam computed tomography analysis did not reveal differences in graft volume between test and control group at any of the evaluated time points (P > .05). Histological evaluation demonstrated increased percentage of newly formed bone for the test group (44.58% ± 13.9%) compared to the control group (30.02% ± 8.42%; P = .0087). The amount of residual graft in the control group was significantly higher (13.75% ± 9.99%) than in the test group (3.59 ± 4.22; P = .0111). Implant stability quotient (ISQ) immediately after implant placement was significantly higher in the control group (75.13 ± 5.69) compared to the test group (60.9 ± 9.35; P = .0003). The ISQ values at loading did not differ between the groups (P = .8587). Implant survival rate was 100% for both groups. CONCLUSION: The addition of L-PRF to the DBBM into the maxillary sinus allowed early implant placement (4 months) with increased new bone formation than DBBM alone after 8 months of healing.

OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study was to investigate bone turnover alterations after alendronate (ALD) withdrawal and its influence on dental implants osseointegration. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seventy female Wistar rats were randomly divided in 2 groups that received on day 0 either placebo (control group-CTL; n = 10) or 1 mg/kg sodium alendronate (ALD; n = 60) once a week for 4 months. At day 120, ALD treatment was suspended for 50 animals. Then, a titanium implant was placed in the left tibia of each rat that were randomly allocated in five subgroups of ten animals each, according to the period of evaluation: day 0 (INT-0), day 7 (INT-7), day 14 (INT-14), day 28 (INT-28), and day 45 (INT-45) after ALD withdrawal. CTL group and a group that received ALD until the end of the experimental period (non-interrupted group-non-INT; n = 10) underwent implant placement on day 120. Animals were euthanized 28 days after implant surgery. Bone mineral density (BMD) of femur and lumbar vertebrae were evaluated by DXA, biochemical markers of bone turnover were analyzed by ELISA, and bone histomorphometry was performed to measure bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and bone area fraction occupancy (BAFO). RESULTS: All groups receiving ALD showed higher BMD values when compared to CTL group, which were maintained after its withdrawal. Decreased concentrations in all bone turnover markers were observed in the non-INT group, and in the groups in which ALD was discontinued compared to the CTL group. The non-INT group showed lower %BIC and notably changes in bone quality, which was persistent after drug withdrawal. CONCLUSION: Collectively, the findings of this study demonstrated that ALD therapy decreased bone turnover and impaired bone quality and quantity around dental implants, and that its discontinuation did not reverse these findings. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: The severe suppression of bone turnover caused by the prolonged use of ALD may alter the capacity of bone tissue to integrate with the implant threads impairing the osseointegration process.

We sought to better characterize the progression of periodontal tissue breakdown in rats induced by a ligature model of experimental periodontal disease (PD). A total of 60 male Sprague-Dawley rats were evenly divided into an untreated control group and a PD group induced by ligature bilaterally around first and second maxillary molars. Animals were sacrificed at 1, 3, 5, 7, 14, and 21 days after the induction of PD. Alveolar bone loss was evaluated by histomorphometry and microcomputed tomography (µCT). The immune-inflammatory process in the periodontal tissue was assessed using descriptive histologic analysis and quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR). This ligature model resulted in significant alveolar bone loss and increased inflammatory process of the periodontal tissues during the initial periods of evaluation (0-14 days). A significant increase in the gene expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines, interleukin-1ß (IL-1ß), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), and proteins involved in osteoclastogenesis, receptor activator of nuclear factor-k B ligand (RANKL) and osteoprotegerin (OPG) was observed in the first week of analysis. In the later periods of evaluation (14-21 days), no significant alterations were noted with regard to inflammatory processes, bone resorption, and expression of cytokine genes. The ligature-induced PD model resulted in progressive alveolar bone resorption with two different phases: Acute (0-14 days), characterized by inflammation and rapid bone resorption, and chronic (14-21 days) with no significant progression of bone loss. Furthermore, the gene expressions of IL-6, IL-1ß, TNF-α, RANKL, and OPG were highly increased during the progress of PD in the early periods. RESEARCH HIGHLIGHTS: Ligature-induced bone resorption in rats occurred in the initial periods after disease induction The bone resorption was characterized by two distinct phases: Acute (0-14 days), with pronounced inflammation and alveolar bone loss Chronic phase (14-21 days): No further disease progression Several pro-inflammatory cytokines were increased during the progress of periodontitis.

This case report aimed to describe the effects of leukocyte and platelet-rich fibrin (L-PRF) associated with demineralized bovine bone mineral (DBBM) and absorbable collagen membrane (CM) on bone regeneration in maxillary sinus augmentation. A 59-year-old male patient was referred to the Department of Periodontology for implant rehabilitation of his edentulous upper jaw. The treatment plan involved maxillary sinus augmentation followed by implant installations. A split-mouth design was employed in which the right maxillary sinus was filled using L-PRF, DBBM, and CM; the left side was filled with DBBM and CM. After 4 and 8 months postoperatively, 2 dental implants were installed in each of the right and left maxillary sinuses. Cone-beam computerized tomography (CBCT) was taken before and after sinus augmentation for evaluation of tridimensional bone volume alterations. Bone biopsies were harvested from the implant sites for histomorphometric evaluation. Resonance frequency analysis was employed immediately after implant placement and before prosthetic rehabilitation for evaluation of implant stability. Implants were loaded 10 months after sinus augmentation. CBCT analysis showed a higher resorption rate in the right side of the maxillary sinus (L-PRF + DBBM) compared to the left side (22.25% and 8.95%, respectively). Implant stability quotients were above 68 in all time-points for both groups. Histomorphometric analysis showed a high amount of newly formed bone when L-PRF was used compared with DBBM alone (2 118 102 and 975 535 mm3, respectively). Taken together, both techniques were effective for maxillary sinus augmentation, however the addition of L-PRF to the graft allowed early implant placement and accelerated bone healing in the conditions studied.

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of cyclosporine A (CsA) therapy on bone healing around osseointegrated implants in the rabbit by means of descriptive histologic and histomorphometric analyses. Eighteen rabbits received one implant each in the right tibia proximal metaphysis. After the bone-healing period of 3 months, 6 randomly selected animals were sacrificed (Group CTL-12) before the immunosuppression therapy initiation to obtain a standard of implant integration. Another six randomly selected animals were submitted to a daily subcutaneous (sc) injection of 10 mg/kg CsA (Group CsA) whereas the six remaining animals received daily sc injections of saline solution (Group CTL-24). Groups CTL-24 and CsA were sacrificed after another 12 weeks. Bone-to-implant contact (BIC), and bone area fraction occupancy (BAFO) within the implant threads were measured. Bone density (BD) and descriptive histological analyses were also accomplished. Rabbits under CsA therapy presented statistically lower percentage of BIC (33.28 ± 6.19) compared to the animals of CLT-24 (55.6 ± 17.73). No differences were found between CsA and CTL-12 (38.7 ± 7.87). Significant decreased percentage of BAFO between the implant threads in the CsA (48.43 ± 9.48) group compared to the CTL-24 (72.26 ± 11.72) was observed. No differences were found between CsA and CTL-12 (61.99 ± 13.94) groups. BD analysis showed significant lower BD in the CsA (48.56 ± 9.32) group compared to the CTL-12 (68.74 ± 10.89) and CTL-24 (77.96 ± 4.96) groups. Collectively, our findings demonstrated that CsA therapy negatively affect the bone healing around osseointegrated implants due to the significant lower values for BIC, BAFO, and BD.
