The hydroethanolic extract of Spondias mombin L. (HESM) has been highlighted due to its antimicrobial action against oral pathogens and its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant activities. The aim of this work was to evaluate the anti-inflammatory effect of HESM in an experimental model of periodontitis. A pre-clinical, controlled and in vivo test was carried out, using 61 male Wistar rats, randomly distributed in the following groups: saline (n=7); PD (n=14); PD + MS 50mg/ml (n=12); PD + MS 100mg/kg (n=13) and PD + MS 200mg/kg (n=15). Gavage was performed daily from the day of periodontitis induction to the 11th experimental day (euthanasia). Blood, gingival and jaw samples were transferred and sent for biochemical, quantitative cytokine (IL-1β and IL-6), histological and computerized microtomographic analyses. For statistical analysis, the parametric ANOVA test was used, followed by Student's t test and the non-parametric Kruskall-Wallis test. The administration of HESM did not cause systemic diseases in the animals, being able to reduce the concentration of IL-6, at a dose of 50mg/kg (p<0.05), and of IL-1β, at a dose of 100mg/kg (p<0.01), as well as bone resorption and increased bone integrity in animals that received HESM at concentrations of 100mg/kg (p<0.05) and 200mg/kg (p<0.001). In addition, the animals confirmed by oral gavage with the extract at a concentration of 200mg/kg (p<0.01) showed the best histological results, with limited infiltration, restricted to the marginal gingiva, and preservation of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone. In conclusion, the findings of this study indicate that HESM, at different concentrations, presents local antiinflammatory activity in an experimental in vivo model of periodontitis, without causing systemic toxicity, thus pointing to the potential use of the aforementioned extract in the treatment of this disease.Acesso AbertoFitoterapiaDoença periodontalSpondiasmasterThesisCNPQ::CIENCIAS DA SAUDE::ODONTOLOGIA
