New bone-generative effect of Salvia officinalis L. in the expanded midpalatal suture : An in vivo and in vitro study.

Purpose: The aims of this study were to evaluate the effects of systemic administration of Salvia officinalis Linnaeus (L.) leaf extract on new bone formation in the expanded premaxillary suture in rats in vivo and to examine the antioxidant effects and phenolic profile of Salvia officinalis (SO) leaf and root extracts in vitro.

Methods: Fourteen male Sprague Dawley rats were allocated to two groups: SO group (n = 7) and control group (n = 7).

Effect of salvianolic acid B on new bone formation in the orthopedically expanded suture.

Objectives: To determine the effects of Salvianolic acid B (Sal B) on new bone formation in the orthopedically expanded premaxillary sutures in rats.

Materials And Methods: The sample consisting of Sprague Dawley rats (male, n = 14) was split in half by random selection: the experiment group (Sal B) and the control group. The premaxillary suture of each rat was expanded by bonding an open-loop spring to two maxillary incisors, each end to one tooth.
