ABSTRACT
The purpose of this study was to compare histologic and morphometric procedures of bone height measurement. Microscopic measurements are the most frequent methods in periodontal studies with animals, but have limited capacity to identify bone levels associated with both healthy tissues and periodontal disease. Ligatures were placed in the maxillary left second molars of 10 male 60-day-old Wistar rats for 30 days. Left and right maxillary sides of 5 rats were processed for histologic analysis (H), sectioned buccolingually, and stained with HE. The maxillae of the other 5 rats were defleshed and used for morphometric analysis (M). Histometric measurements from the cementoenamel junction to the bone crest were performed. Standardized photographs were used for morphometric analysis. The t test was used for dependent or independent samples (alpha = 0.05 percent). Distances from cementoenamel junction to bone crest were 0.95 ± 0.25 and 1.07 ± 0.30 mm for H and M, respectively. Buccal measurements were 0.92 ± 0.16 and 1.08 ± 0.35 mm for H and M. The values obtained using H and M for areas without ligatures were 0.44 ± 0.15 and 0.47 ± 0.11 mm for lingual measurements and 0.23 ± 0.08 and 0.41 ± 0.10 mm for buccal measurements. No significant differences were found between the two methods in the detection of bone height associated with the placement of ligatures in rats.
RESUMO
O objetivo deste estudo foi comparar procedimentos de medida da altura óssea histológica e morfométrica. O método mais freqüente de mensuração da altura óssea em estudos em animais são as medidas microscópicas. No entanto, tem limitada capacidade de identificar os níveis ósseos associados com os tecidos saudáveis e doença periodontal. Foram colocadas ligaduras no segundo molar superior esquerdo de 10 ratos machos Wistar com 60 dias de vida durante um período de 30 dias. Hemimaxilas direitas e esquerdas de 5 ratos foram processadas para a análise histológica (H), cortadas no sentido vestíbulo-lingual e coradas com HE. Hemimaxilas dos outros 5 ratos tiveram toda a matéria orgânica removida para análise morfométrica (M). Medidas histométricas da junção cemento-esmalte (JCE) à crista óssea alveolar foram realizadas. Fotografias padronizadas foram utilizadas na análise morfométrica. O teste t foi utilizado para amostras dependentes e independentes (alfa = 0,05 por cento). As distâncias entre a JCE e a crista óssea na face palatina foram de 0,95 ± 0,25 e 1,07 ± 0,30 mm para H e M, respectivamente. As medidas vestibulares foram 0,92 ± 0,16 e 1,08 ± 0,35 mm para H e M. Os valores obtidos usando H e M para áreas sem ligadura foram 0,44 ± 0,15 e 0,47 ± 0,11 mm por lingual e 0,23 ± 0,08 e 0,41 ± 0,10 mm por vestibular, respectivamente. Não houve diferenças estatisticamente significativas entre os dois métodos na detecção da altura óssea associada à colocação de ligaduras em ratos.
