Macroscopic aspects of periodontia of rats submitted to ECP and the effects of SRP+antibiotics on ABL in rats subjected to ECP. The normal periodontia exhibited no resorption of the alveolar bone (A, original magnification ×50). In contrast, The periodontia from ECP rats demonstrated severe resorption of the alveolar bone with root exposure (B, original magnification ×50). The periodontia from ECP rats demonstrated severe resorption of the alveolar bone with root exposure (A, original magnification ×50). In contrast, normal periodontia exhibited no resorption of the alveolar bone (B, original magnification ×50). Compared with the normal group, a significant increase in the distance between cemento-enamel injunction and alveolar crest was observed in the ECP group (C). After treatment, the increase was significantly reduced (C). Among those treatment groups, SPR+LCOMP was most effective (C). n=8. a: vs. NORMAL P<0.05, b: vs. SRP+SO P<0.05, c: vs. SRP+SCOMP P<0.05 (ANOVA & Paired t-test).
