Caracterização histomorfométrica e radiográfica do tecido ósseo da mandíbula e fêmur de camundongos suplementados com vitamina D

Abstract

The plasma vitamin D plays a key role in regulating calcium and phosphate homeostasis with activity on liver, intestine, kidney and bone. Calcium and phosphate obtained through the diet, are environmental elements necessary together with Vitamin D to determine whether 1,25-hydroxyvitamin D exerts an anabolic or catabolic effect on bone mineral appearance. This research was conducted to evaluate the effect of vitamin D3 supplementation exerts on the bone density of the femur and mice jaw. mice were used C57BL / 6 males and females, were divided into two groups: 1) control group (n = 24) and 2) experimental group (n = 24) - subject to systemic administration of vitamin D by means of vitamin D3 gavage (VITD) at a concentration of 10,000 IU for week. After 4 weeks of administration of Vitamin D was performed surgery for placement of titanium implants in the lateral region of the mandible and animals were sacrificed within 7 and 21 days after implant placement. Histomorphometric analyzes were carried out in the regions of femoral metaphysis and jaw through digital LAZ v4.2 and radiographic program and analyzed by BA-DDX program through digital periapical, where it was verified that there was an increase in bone density among the groups through the trabecular pixel count. For the statistical analysis were applied Anova and Bonferroni multiple correlation and Kruskal Wallis test. The results of histomorphometric analysis showed no difference in bone structures (trabecular and marrow spaces) in the jaw evaluated by vitamin D3 supplementation at 7 and 21 days of healing. The results of radiographic however, showed that the jaw was no increase in bone density in the supplemented group compared to the control group (p <0.05), without however, differences in the same group over time (7 and 21 days). The femur there was no difference between control and experimental groups over time, in the metaphyseal region, however, in the diaphyseal region noticed an increase in the number of pixels trabecular in the supplemented group compared to the control group (p = 0.001). It can be concluded that by the structures evaluated in the histomorphometric analysis, supplementation with vitamin D3 had no effect on bone parameters of the jaw and femur, but the radiographic analysis showed an increase in bone density between the control and experimental groups in the jaw to around the implant and femoral diaphysis.
