Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Severe resorption of alveolar bone after tooth loss/extraction, makes it difficult to restore the missing teeth with dental implants or prosthodontic approaches. Bone resorption is the unique function of the osteoclast, and anti-resorption therapy to date has targeted this cell. Objectives of this study is to investigate the involvement of MLA in osteoclastogenesis. MLA significantly inhibited the formation of TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclasts in a concentration-dependent manner. These results suggest, that MLA suppresses osteoclastogenesis and that application of MLA enables to promote new bone formation. These findings represent MLA may be useful for therapeutic strategies against alveolar bone resorption in prosthetic treatments.
