Abstract
Periodontitis is one of the most prevalent chronic inflammatory diseases in humans. However, the disease has been hard to study, majorly because it has been difficult to establish a reproducible animal model. Nonetheless, the ligature-induced periodontitis model in rodent has shown some promise. Here we describe a simplified systematic method to analyze periodontal pathogenesis using quantitative polymerase chain reaction, immunohistochemistry, and bone phenotype in ligature-induced periodontitis murine model. We provide detailed experimental methods and also provide notes that will help to carry out the procedure successfully.
