Study of the effect of the complex of active metabolites of cholecalciferol with vikasol on the state of periodontal tissues of rats

Abstract

Purpose of the study. The study of the periodont-protective properties of the complex of a mixture of active metabolites of cholecalciferol - 1,25 (OH)2D3 and 24,25(OH)2D3 with a synthetic analogue of vitamin K - vikasol in experimental periodontitis in rats. Materials and methods The study was carried out on 18 white male rats for 1.5 months age, divided into 3 groups. Group 1 (4 individuals) comprised intact rats. In the rats of the 2nd and 3rd groups (7 individuals each), the parodontitis model was reproduced by oral administration of a 10% solution of pelentane, and also by replacing drinking water with a 2% solution of EDTA ad libitum. In group 3, rats were injected daily with a mixture of hormonal forms of vitamin D3 (1,25 (OH)2D3 and 24,25(OH)2D3) against a background of combined effects of pelentane and EDTA. The duration of the experiment was 60 days. Results and conclusions. It is established that the complex of a mixture of two hormonal-active forms of cholecalciferol with vikasol has significant periodontoprotective properties. The obtained data substantiate the inclusion of vitamin D3 in the composition of perioodontoprotective agents in the treatment of periodontitis.
