ABSTRACT

Diferentes autores han descrito a la enfermedad periodontal como un factor de riesgo de ateroesclerosis. Este estudio tuvo como objetivo determinar la posible relación entre las bacterias periodontopatógenas y alteraciones cardiovasculares en modelos murinos con ingesta hiperlipídica. Se utilizaron 30 ratas Wistar divididas en un grupo control (n=5) y tres grupos experimentales (n=15): Grupo I (n=5): dieta normal e infectados; Grupo II (n=5): dieta hiperlipídica y sin infectar y Grupo III (n=5): dieta hiperlipídica e infectados. La infección del surco gingival se logró previa sedación a través de hilos de sutura contaminados, colocados durante 6 días consecutivos, con Pophyromonas gingivalis (P. gingivalis) (5x10a-4 UFC) y Agregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans (A. actinomycetemcomitans) (5x10-4 UFC) obtnidas de muestras de pacientes con periodontitis crónica. A los 30 días posinfección se fijaron muestras de corazón y arteria aorta para su procesamiento. En el grupo control no se encontraron alteraciones. En el grupo I se observó en el endocardio valvular abundante exudado fibrinoleucocitario y focos hemorrágicos. En el miocardio, neovascularización y sufusiones hemorrágicos y en la pared de vasos arteriales, engrosamiento intimal. En el grupo II se observaron depósitos lipídicos en el interior de las células endoteliales, estrías grasas y pequeños ateromas. El grupo III mostró en un 100 por ciento de los casos, placas ateromatosas bien detalladas con abundante depósito de colesterol, calcificaciones, hemorragias y neovascularización. La suma de estos factores de riesgo: dieta hiperlipídica e infección con bacterias periodontopatógenas, potenciarían la expresión de alteraciones cardíacas y coronarias, incrementando la formación de ateromas

ABSTRACT

Demineralization of bone has been linked to the action of osteocytes via the process of osteocytic osteolysis. The aim of this study was to assess the influence of mechanical forces produced during orthodontic movements on the osteocytic lacunae. Orthodontic movements were achieved employing a device constructed [quot ]ad hoc[quot ] for rats that exerts a force of approximately 70 gr. The experimental animals and the corresponding controls were killed 48 and 96 hours after the onset of the experiment. Histologic sections oriented along the bucco-palatine axis were employed to measure the area of osteocytic lacunae to infer information on volume in keeping with standard stereological concepts. Regions alongside resorption areas of cortical bone and resting areas of palatine bone were evaluated. Osteocytic lacunae associated to erosive surfaces were rounded and rose markedly in area after the application of the orthodontic force (58.4 +/- 6 mm2). Elongated lacunae were present in relation to resting areas (24.8 +/- 2 mm2). The present study shows an association between the increase in size of osteocytic lacunae and the resorption fronts induced by the application of orthodontic forces. This finding would suggest that the osteocyte would participate in the resorption process of bone submitted to pressure.
