Abstract

In previous studies, we introduced that mangosteen extract complex (MEC; ethanol extracts of Garcinia mangostana L. peel and propolis) had inhibitory effects on inflammation and alveolar bone loss in silk-ligature applied and Porphyromonas gingivalis lipopolysaccharide (LPS) induced periodontitis model in rats. This study was conducted to evaluate whether MEC had inhibitory effect of alveolar bone loss when a higher inflammatory state was induced by increasing the injection amount of P. gingivalis LPS by 20 times and increasing the treatment dose of MEC by twice the amount or maintaining MEC dose that used in the previous study. The data showed that alveolar bone loss was significantly reduced in the Lig+L+MEC 1:34 group (treated with mixture of 16 µg mangosteen peel extract powder and 544 µg propolis extract powder) and in the Lig+L+MEC 2:68 group (treated with mixture of 32 µg mangosteen peel extract powder and 1,088 µg propolis extract powder) by 24.3% and 28.9%, respectively. This result reveals that the mixture of MEC 1:34 could be useful in improving periodontal tissue health and may be able to be used as a therapeutic adjuvant for periodontitis.
