Abstract | Objectives: To investigated the role of periapical disease in inducing BRONJ using an
ovariectomized animal model.
Methods: Forty animals were subjected to bilateral ovariectomy. Vehicle (sterile saline) or
zoledronic acid (ZA) was administered via intraperitoneal injections for 8 weeks. Then all animals
received a pulpal exposure on the first right lower molar. After another four weeks of vehicle or
ZA administration, all animals were sacrificed for micro-CT and histological assessments.
Results: Micro-CT analysis showed that bone mineral density (BMD) was significantly lower in
the drilled teeth than non-drilled teeth when administered with vehicle (P < 0.005), but no
differences between drilled and non-drilled teeth when animals received ZA (P =0 .538). ZA
groups had a significant increased BMD compared to the control vehicle groups with or without
pulpal exposure (P< 0.005). There was no significant interaction between the effects of ZA
administration and pulpal exposure on alveolar bone microarchitecture. Pulpal exposure did not
cause any significant change to the bone microstructure, while ZA treatment showed significantly
increase BV/TV, Tb.Th and decrease in Tb.N. The width of periodontal ligament (PDL) space
were significantly smaller in ZA groups than in vehicle groups when the teeth were drilled
(P<.0005), but no differences between ZA and non-ZA groups without pulpal exposure (P=.868).
Pulpal exposure significantly increased the width of PDL in both ZA and Vehicle groups (P<.05).
Histological assessment showed combined ZA and pulpal exposure resulted in an increased
number of non-viable osteocytes.
Conclusions: Peiapical disease causes remarkable increased alveolar bone resorption and reduced
bone density, while ZA administration inhibits periodontal bone resorption and increase the
reduced BMD caused by periapical disease. ZA administration and periapical disease exacerbate
subclinical osteonecrosis. |
