GARCIA TRIANA, Bárbara E et al. La Peroxidación lipídica en la enfermedad periodontal inflamatoria experimental. Rev Cubana Estomatol [online]. 1998, vol.35, n.1, pp. 11-14. ISSN 1561-297X.

The lipid peroxidation of the periodontal membranes seems to be involved in the pathogenesis of the periodontal disease. We used for this study Beagles dogs which were caused such a disease by applying a ligature to a dental hemiarch teeth whereas the opposite hemiarch was used as a control. At the end of the experiment, the studied variables (gingival sulcus depth, bone height and malonyl-dialdehyde levels) were significantly higher in the ligated hemiarch. We concluded that the use of this model is feasible in our conditions. These results back up the theory of the role of lipid peroxidation in the pathogenesis of the periodontal diseases.
