Alveolar bone healing in rats: micro-CT, immunohistochemical and molecular analysis

Abstract: Alveolar bone healing after upper incisor extraction in rats is a classical model of preclinical studies. The underlying morphometric, cellular and molecular mechanism, however, remains imprecise in a unique study. Objectives The aim of this study was therefore to characterize the alveolar bone healing after upper incisor extraction in rats by micro computed tomographic (Micro-CT), immunohistochemical and real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis.Material and Methods Thirty animals (Rattus norvegic… Show more

“…Using rat as an experimental animal has many advantages including its availability, economic expenses, and healing short duration, since females are more prone for osteoporosis than males, males were chosen in the present study. This in agreement with Hassumi et al 2018 (24) who studied alveolar bone healing in rats. While, Abegao et al 2015 found that using rabbits as a model in extraction wound is better as a larger animal and also rapid healing cycle of its bone in comparison to human (25).…”

“…The immunohistochemical reactions were evaluated by assigning scores based on a semi-quantitative analysis [ 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 ]. The scores were assigned as null (0), mild (1), moderate (2), and intense (3).…”
