Article Synopsis
- This study investigated the effects of atorvastatin on critical bone defects in rats, with a focus on comparing local and systemic applications.
- Rats were divided into three groups: a control group receiving distilled water, a group receiving systemic atorvastatin, and a group receiving local atorvastatin, with treatments applied alongside collagen membranes.
- Results showed that systemic atorvastatin significantly reduced bone defect size and influenced bone cell activity, indicating its potential for improving bone healing while not significantly affecting inflammation.
