ABSTRACT

 

Mehdi T, Ehsan M, Mojtaba N, Masumeh G., Effect of bifidobacteria on bone density and loss, Onl J Vet Res., 26 (5): 352-356, 2022. We describe effect of probiotics on bone density and loss in Wistar rats. Groups of 9 rats each were gavaged 109 Bifidobacterium infantis daily for 70 days and first mandibular molars then ligated. Un-ligated contralateral molar were used as controls. Rats were sacrificed 30 days after ligature and mandibules removed to determine bone loss and density compared to controls. The mandibles were defleshed and stained with 1% methylene blue and bone loss from cemen­t-enamel junction to the alveolar bone crest was measured. Bone loss between furcation  roof and bone  crest and density of alveolar bone were then determined. We found 46-49% bone loss in ligated teeth compared with un-ligated ones with or without probiotic. However, ligation or probiotic had no effect on bone loss in ligated teeth.
