Abstract : [ABSTRACT]Adult periodontitis is initiated by a primary pathogen such as Porphyromonas gingivalis. The presence of restrain stress showed a significant augmentation on P. gingivalis-challenged periodontitis in rats. We investigated the inhibitory effects of COX-2 inhibitor, alendronate and β-blocker on alveolar bone loss challenged by P. gingivalis and restraint stress in rats. In the groups treated with COX-2 inhibitor, alendronate and β-blocker, the increasing rate of body weight was decreased and the thymus and spleen were atrophied. The groups treated with COX-2 inhibitor, alendronate and β-blocker showed the remarkable inhibition in augmented alveolar bone loss challenged by P. gingivalis. It can be thought that COX-2 inhibitor is more effective in reducing alveolar bone loss because it seems to have less systemic influence and more inhibitory effect than the other drugs. Therefore, COX-2 inhibitor plays a crucial role in the pathogenesis of periodontitis, as systemic treatment prevented alveolar bone loss challenged by P. gingivalis.
