Article Synopsis
- This study investigates the impact of different silk ligature sizes on alveolar bone loss in a rat model of ligature-induced periodontitis, which is useful for testing new dental treatments.
- The ligatures used were 3-0, 4-0, and 5-0, and the results indicated that the 3-0 and 4-0 sizes led to significantly greater bone loss compared to the 5-0 ligature, with the 3-0 ligature having the highest retention.
- After removing the ligatures, bone healing was assessed, revealing no significant changes in bone levels two weeks post-removal, despite elevated levels of inflammatory markers IL-1β and TNF-α during the study.
