Animal models in Periodontology: a review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Non-human primates have been extensively used in periodontal research to investigate the pathogenesis of periodontal disease, use of dental implants, guided tissue regeneration and other surgical procedures. Rats and hamsters are best suited for caries and calculus research. Ferrets may be a promising new model for studying periodontal disease and calculus formation. Beagle dogs are best suited for periodontal disease models than for caries or calculus formation. The purpose of this review is to evaluate animals as models for studying various aspects of human periodontal disease, including the disease process, its prevention and treatment.

متن کاملExperimental Animal Models in Periodontology: A Review
In periodontal research, animal studies are complementary to in vitro experiments prior to testing new treatments. Animal models should make possible the validation of hypotheses and prove the safety and efficacy of new regenerating approaches using biomaterials, growth factors or stem cells. A review of the literature was carried out by using electronic databases (PubMed, ISI Web of Science). ...
