Selective cyclooxygenase-2 inhibition prevents bone resorption Inibidor seletivo de cicloxigenase-2 prevenindo reabsorção óssea

The aim of the present work was to evaluate the effect of a selective cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) inhibitor (meloxicam) on the alveolar bone loss progression in experimentally induced periodontitis. Forty (40) Wistar rats were separated into 8 experimental groups (n = 5). Cotton ligatures were placed a...
