<p><strong>Objective:</strong> The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of regular and constant long-term alcohol consumption on the percentage of the remaining periodontal bone support (PBS) and periodontal bone loss (PBL) in adult rats. <strong>Material and Methods: </strong>Fifty-four (54) rats were divided into 3 groups: Control (daily water intake, n=18) daily alcohol intake (20% ethanol, n=18) and social alcohol intake (20% ethanol 2x a week, n=18). The rats were treated with continuous free-choice access to both ethanol consumption frequencies. They were euthanized after 90 days and their left mandibles were radiographed for PBS measuring. The same left mandibles were defleshed and stained. The PBL was morphometrically assessed by measuring the distance between cement-enamel junction and alveolar bone crest. <strong>Results: </strong>Did not show difference (p &gt; 0.05) in the amount of consumed alcohol between the social and daily intake groups. Rats also evidenced lower PBS percentage and higher PBL (p&lt;0.05) in both alcohol consumption groups in comparison to the control. <strong>Conclusion: </strong>The long-term constant and regular same amount alcohol consumption may cause alveolar bone loss and reduce the remaining periodontal bone support in adult rats. Thus, the alveolar bone loss was associated with the amount of consumed alcohol, rather than with periodicity in periodontitis-free rats.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong></p><p>Alveolar Bone Loss; Alcoholism; Ethanol; Periodontal Disease; X-ray.<strong></strong></p><p> </p>

Abstract Residual ridge resorption (RRR) is a chronic and progressive bone resorption following tooth loss. It causes deterioration of the oral environments and leads to the pathogenesis of various systemic diseases. However, the molecular mechanisms and risk factors for RRR progression are still unclear and controversial. In this study, we developed a tooth extraction model using mice for analyzing long-term morphological and gene expression changes in the alveolar bone. We further applied ovariectomy to this model to elucidate the effects of osteoporosis on RRR progression. As a result, the alveolar bone loss was biphasic and consisted of rapid loss in the early stages and subsequently slow and sustained bone loss over a long period. Gene expression analysis indicated that ovariectomy increased the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in the alveolar bone and prolonged the activation of osteoclasts same as histological analysis. Furthermore, the expressions of Tnfsf11 and Sema4d kept increasing for a long time in OVX mice. Administration of neutralization antibodies for receptor activator of NF-κB ligand (RANKL) effectively suppressed RRR. Similarly, inhibition of Semaphorin 4d (Sema4d) also improved alveolar bone loss. This study demonstrated that osteoporosis is a risk factor for RRR and that RANKL and Sema4d suppression are potential treatments.

The relationship between bone mineral density and tooth loss in men is unclear. The aim of this retrospective cohort study was to determine if relative metacarpal bone area (MCA) predicts tooth loss in a cohort of 273 male participants in the Dental Longitudinal Study and Normative Aging Study of the Department of Veterans Affairs. Outer and inner cortical bone widths of the middle metacarpal of the nondominant hand were measured on anteroposterior hand radiographs approximately 11 y apart. Baseline MCA was computed and categorized into quartiles. The men were followed from 1971 to 2015. Incident tooth loss during 2 intervals was examined: concurrent with the MCA measurements and long term over the total follow-up (17 ± 7 y). Radiographic alveolar bone loss (ABL) was measured on periapical radiographs as a percentage of the distance from the cementoenamel junction to root apex, and the number of teeth with ABL >40% was computed. Negative binomial generalized linear regression models estimated the mean number of teeth with ABL >40% and the number lost (concurrent and total), controlling for age, smoking, number of teeth at baseline, percentage teeth with ≥1 decayed/filled surface, and years of follow-up. At baseline, MCA was inversely related to number of teeth with >40% ABL. Men in the lowest MCA quartile (Q1) lost the most teeth, both concurrent with MCA measurements and long term, but the association differed by caries level (≤55% or >55% decayed/filled teeth). At the low caries level, the numbers lost in Q1 were 29% greater than in the highest MCA quartile (Q4). At the high caries level, the numbers lost in Q1 were more than twice those in Q4. Associations were attenuated when further controlled for number of teeth with ABL>40%. These findings suggest that systemic bone status plays a role in tooth loss and that the association may be mediated by alveolar bone loss. Knowledge Transfer Statement: Low relative metacarpal bone area was related to loss of alveolar bone and incident tooth loss in men. This information extends previous research, primarily studies of women, showing that osteoporosis adversely affects oral health. Knowledge of a patient’s systemic bone status may be important for managing his or her periodontal disease. Tooth loss in the absence of periodontal inflammation may signify systemic bone loss. Interprofessional communication is central to maintaining optimal oral and bone health.
