Article Synopsis
- This study focused on understanding how markers of bone loss and immune response relate to the progression of periodontal disease in Wistar rats, using three groups based on the duration of induced periodontal disease (0, 15, and 60 days).
- The analysis showed that the number of inflammatory cells increased over time, with the PD60 group having lower collagen content and higher levels of specific immune markers, indicating a progression of disease severity.
- The findings suggest that the RANK/RANKL and HGF markers are linked to immune responses in periodontal disease, hinting that targeting these could provide therapeutic options to reduce bone loss associated with the condition.
