Article Synopsis
  • This study investigated how the probiotic Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis HN019 affects the severity of experimental periodontitis (EP) in rats undergoing chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil (5FU).
  • Eighty male rats were assigned to different treatment groups, including those receiving only 5FU, only the probiotic, both together, or other combinations, and were analyzed at the end of the treatment period.
  • Results indicated that the combination of 5FU and the probiotic reduced bone loss and improved immune response in periodontal tissues compared to 5FU alone, suggesting that B. lactis HN019 could help manage periodontitis during chemotherapy.

Background/aim: Anti-allergic drugs can inhibit the hard tissue resorption process, and due to similarities between root resorption and bone mechanisms, it can be inferred that these drugs may also control root resorption. The aim of this study was to analyze the effects of anti-allergic drugs used systemically on the process of root resorption following delayed tooth replantation.

Materials And Methods: Thirty-two maxillary right incisors of rats were extracted and subsequently replanted.

Objectives: To assess whether subgingival irrigation with 0.12 % or 0.2 % chlorhexidine (CHX) immediately after scaling and root planing (SRP) enhances periodontal tissue repair compared to irrigation with saline solution (control).

The aim of this study was to histologically and histometrically evaluate the influence of repeated adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) on bone loss (BL) in furcation areas in rats. Periodontitis was induced by placing a ligature around the mandibular molar in 75 rats. The animals were divided into five groups: the SS group was treated with saline solution (SS); the SRP group received scaling and root planing (SRP); the aPDT1 group received SRP as well as toluidine blue (TBO) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT; InGaAlP, 660 nm; 4.
