Periodontitis (PD) are an inflammatory disorder in which tissue damage occurs through complex interactions between periodontal pathogens and components of the host mechanisms. Natural agents having antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activities might be able to control the inflammatory diseases such as PD. This study designed to investigate the effect of Moringa Oleifera Extract (MOE) on healing of induced PD. Experimental periodontal disease was induced in rats by injecting LPS in the gingival tissues on the distobuccal aspect of lower first molars (30 ug LPS, 3 times/week for 2 weeks). MOE was administered to rats daily via oral gavage by dose 300 mg/kg once daily. The inflammatory status was evaluated by descriptive analysis of Ob and IL-6 serum level on H&E-stained sections. MOE Group B showed significant decrease in periodontal inflammation. In conclusions: MOE potently inhibits innate immune responses associated with periodontal disease, suggesting a therapeutic potential in this chronic inflammatory condition.
