Histological analysis of gingival inflammation in rat experimental periodontitis. Gingival inflammation and bone loss were observed in all three groups. Alveolar bone crest height was obviously decreased in the ligation-only (L) group. A significant reduction in gingival inflammation and bone loss was observed in the groups that underwent ligation in combination with treatment with 30 μg/g body weight curcumin (L + C30) or 100 μg/g body weight curcumin (L + C100).
