Abstract
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of strontium ranelate on ligature-induced periodontitis in rats and assess the putative involvement of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) pathway in these effects.
Material and methods: Male Wistar rats underwent nylon ligature placement around maxillary molars and were treated (v.o.) with strontium ranelate (20 or 100 mg/kg) for 7 days. After that, rats were euthanized and histomorphometric/histopathological analyses and RT-PCR for HO-1 expression were performed.
Results: Strontium ranelate (20 or 100 mg/kg) prevented bone resorption by 28% and 38%, respectively. Strontium ranelate treatment (100 mg/kg) up-regulated (P < 0.05) heme oxygenase-1 mRNA levels in the gingival tissues in comparison to control groups.
Conclusions: Strontium ranelate prevented periodontal bone loss in experimental periodontitis in rats while heme oxygenase-1 mRNA levels increased after treatment.
