Reduction in P. gingivalis-induced alveolar bone loss by gastric intubation with LG2055. (a) Thirty days after P. gingivalis infection, the distance from the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) to the alveolar bone crest (ABC) at 14 predetermined sites in the defleshed maxilla were measured and totaled for each mouse. (b) Bone measurements were performed a total of three times by two evaluators using a random and blinded protocol. All values are presented as the means ± SEM of eight mice per group; **p < 0.01.
