Figure 1. Histological aspect of molar furcation area for the different experimental groups. (A) Ligated tooth from the placebo group. The extension of the PL area indicates bone loss due to induction of periodontitis. (B) Unligated tooth from the placebo group. (C) Ligated tooth from a PTH-treated animal. Dentin (D), periodontal ligament area (PL), alveolar bone (B). Scale bar represents 0.25 mm. (D) Mean ± standard deviation of the area between bone crest and cementum surface (mm2) in the furcation area of ligated teeth from PTH-treated animals in comparison with the ligated and unligated teeth from the placebo group (*p < 0.05). Note: Similar findings were observed in sections obtained from unligated teeth regardless of treatment (PTH vs. placebo). N = 10/group.
