title: [The effects of LTA and plaque on the periodontal tissue of the Guinea pig]
abstract: 40 Guinea pigs were divided into 4 groups.The gingival sulcus of 2 mandibular incisors were irrigated with LPS(Lipopolysaccharide),LTA (Lipoteichoicacid),PL(Subgingival plaque) and NS(Normal saline solution) respectively.2 animals were sacrificed in group of 5 successively at 1,2,3,6,8 week after irrigation.Microscopic examination demonstrated:Only a few penetration of inflammatory cells lay in the gingival tissue in NS control group.Significant infiltrate associated with evident crystal resorption were noted at 1st week and active remodeling took place at 4th,5th week in LPS group.Enhancing accumulations of plaque calculus with weak inflammation could be seen in LTA group.Not only accumulations of plaque and calculus but also penetration of inflammation with resorption of bone were seen in PL group.Their effects on the periodontal tissue of Guinea pig showed evident different.These findings served further expression the possible mechanisms of periodontal diseases.
