Resumen:
Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic inflammation resulting in alveolar bone resorption and loss of teeth supporting tissues. In rats, hypercholesterolemia (HC) causes decrease of bone volume that may accelerate tooth decay. Objective: to evaluate the effect of HC on the alveolar bone mass in experimental periodontitis (EP). Methods: Female Wistar adult rats were assigned either control (C) or HC (atherogenic diet) group. EP was induced by a unilateral ligature (L) around the left first molar(C+L;HC+L); the contralaterals, used as controls (C-L; HC-L).
