TY - JOUR TI - Evaluation of the Locally and Single Dose Teriparatide Effect on Masseter Muscle Thickness and Early Mandibular Bone Healing AB - Objective: Bone repair is a multifactorial mechanism involving a large number of cells, molecules and growth factors. In this healing period, muscle tissue has an important role. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of single dose and locally administered teriparatide on mandibular bone healing and masseter muscle thickness. Materials and Methods: In this study, 24 Sprague Dawley male rats were used and the experimental animals were divided into 3 groups. Groups were defined in the following way: Group-1 had empty defect, Group-2 received 20 μg of TP, and Group-3 received 40 μg of TP. Before surgery and postoperative 4th week, masseter muscle thickness was measured with the same ultrasound imaging system. This was followed by histomorphometric evaluation that was performed for the measurement of mandibular bone healing. Results: A statistically significant difference had been found in terms of the amount of bone ossification area between Group-1 and Group-2 and between Group-1 and Group-3 (p<0.01), but there was no statistically significant difference between Group-2 and Group-3 (p>0.01). Increase in the masseter muscle thickness in the postoperative period was statistically significant in all groups (p<0.05). On the other hand, increasing in the masseter muscles thickness was higher in Group-2 and Group-3 than Group-1 but not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusion: As a result of this study, locally and single dose administered TP improved bone healing postoperative 4th week. On the other hand, TP did not have a significant effect on the increase of masseter muscle thickness.
