Abstract

Periodontal disease is initiated by bacterial plaque that induces a chronic inflammatory condition with subsequent leukocyte infiltration, osteoclast activation and alveolar bone resorption. The ideal treatment for periodontal disease is the complete regeneration of the lost periodontium. Resolvin E1 (RvE1) is an endogenous anti-inflammatory lipid mediator derived from omega-3 fatty acids. Animal studies showed that topical treatment of periodontitis with RvE1 significantly decreased osteoclast counts, prevented alveolar bone loss, and restored lost periodontal tissues including bone. It is not known if RvE1 directly impacts osteoblast functions and bone formation. The objective of this study was to determine RvE1 mechanism of action on osteoblasts. Results showed that topical RvE1 treatment prevented the progression of ligature-induced periodontitis in mice compared to the vehicle. RvE1 receptor, chemR23, was expressed in murine calvaria osteoblasts and the expression was not changed in the inflammatory environment with or without RvE1 treatment. RvE1 treatment resulted in a significant increase in the ALP activity after 2 and 7 days of treatment compared to the control as well as in the inflammatory milieu. Similarly, RvE1 treatment enhanced murine calvaria osteoblasts mineralization in vitro compared to the inflammatory environment. The proliferation of mouse calvaria osteoblasts was significantly increased with RvE1 treatment after 2 and 10 days of treatment compared to…

How strong is the evidence?

Evidence Hub reads this as a thesis, done in animal, not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.

How the five levels of evidence work. The level is assigned automatically from the abstract and can be wrong, so check the paper.
