LAJU PENURUNAN TULANG ALVEOLAR PADA PERIODONTITIS DENGAN METODE LIGASI
Abstract
Periodontal disease has ranked second out of the other major diseases, by
which it has been problematic in Indonesian societies that many periodontitis
researches have been increasingly developed. Ligation is one of the most used
methods in inducing periodontitis on animal experiments. This research aims to
find out the decline rate of alveolar bone in periodontitis induced using ligation
method. This research was an experimental laboratory with control group design,
thirty Wistar mice were divided into 5 groups, including control group, and
ligation treatment group, which involves group 1 (7 days), 2 (14 days), 3 ( 21
days, and 4 (28 days). The decline rate of the alveolar bone measurement was
done through linear measurement using caliper sliding on the incisal until the
alveolar crest. The data analysis result used ANOVA test, resulting in p>0,05,
thus can be interpreted that there is no significant alveolar bone declining rate in
the periodontitis induced by ligation method.
