Correction of Acute Parodontitis with Indolicidin Analogues

Abstract

We studied the influence of synthetic indolicidin analogues on the development of acute periodontitis. The corrective effect was found in indolicidin analogues Nos. 7 and 8; it manifested in a decrease in the edema of gingival epithelium and lamina propria, a decrease in the relative area of inflammatory infiltrates, and a significant increase in the relative area of normal connective tissue. These changes were revealed as soon as on day 14 and were most pronounced in 21 days after the removal of the ligature. Indolicidin analogues Nos. 7 and 8 demonstrated similar effectiveness on the model of acute periodontitis.
