|July 1, 1991
Abstract:
Periodontitis was simulated in rabbits and rats by suturing a ligature to the gingiva. A follow-up of periodontitis development has revealed the characteristic local (edema, formation of pouches, teeth mobility) and systemic (leukocytosis, moderate hypercalcemia, elevated blood alkaline phosphatase activity, increased blood and gingival lysozyme levels) reactions.
