We used radiological and histological analyses to evaluate the effects of mechanical barrier permeability in a rat model of calvarial guided bone augmentation (GBA). The calvaria of 20 rats were exposed, and one of four types of plastic caps (an occlusive cylindrical plastic cap; a plastic cap with no top; a plastic cap with three holes; and a plastic cap with four holes) was randomly placed on both sides. Newly generated bone in the plastic caps was evaluated with micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis. Micro-CT volumetric analysis and decalcified hematoxylin and eosin-stained sections showed that GBA barrier permeability was inversely associated with the quantity of augmented bone obtained. Masson’s trichrome staining showed that collagen in newly generated bony tissue was more mature in plastic caps with three holes than in those with more-permeable or more-occlusive barriers. Bone augmentation was inhibited in specimens exhibiting invasion of soft tissue through penetrating holes, and barrier permeability was associated with the quantity of augmented bone developed. In conclusion, moderate barrier permeability is optimal for development of mature augmented bone.

Periodontitis caused by bacterial infection gradually progresses accompanied by periodontal tissue destruction. As a result, teeth lose their supporting structures, and this leads to tooth exfoliation. CXC-chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) is known to be expressed in lymphocytes, fibroblasts and osteoclasts in periodontal tissues, suggesting that periodontal CXCR4 signaling contributes to alveolar bone resorption in the milieu of periodontitis. However, the role of CXCR4 signaling in the pathogenesis of periodontitis has remained unknown. We established a mouse model of periodontitis by inoculation of Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.g.) into a silk ligature placed around the maxillary molar. Although there was no significant difference in the mechanical sensitivity in the periodontal tissue between P.g. treatment and sham treatment during the experimental period, mechanical allodynia in the periodontal tissue was induced after gingival injection of complete Freund’s adjuvant compared with that resulting from sham and P.g. treatment alone. Moreover, CXCR4 neutralization in the periodontal tissue following P.g. treatment enhanced periodontal inflammatory cell infiltration and depressed alveolar bone resorption. These findings suggest that periodontal CXCR4 signaling in several cell types in P.g.-induced periodontal inflammation depresses alveolar bone resorption in periodontitis. CXCR4 signaling might be a target for therapeutic intervention to prevent alveolar bone resorption in periodontitis.
