Effect of periodontitis in alveolar bone loss. (A) Protocol of experiments of mice ligature periodontitis model. Linear and area of the alveolar bone loss was measured macroscopically in the lingual (Panels B,C) and buccal (Panels D,E) surfaces in mice with Sham (Panels B,D) or dental ligation (Panels C,E). Bar graphs show the linear alveolar bone loss and alveolar bone loss area from the lingual (Panel F,H, respectively) and buccal (Panel G,I, respectively) surfaces. The white dashed lines indicate the three distances measured in the teeth and yellow solid lines indicate alveolar bone loss area. Data are mean ± SEM *P < 0.05. Ligature: Periodontitis elicited by the ligation of the mandibular left first molar. Sham: Sham ligation.
