Abstract
Introduction: Contraceptives are widely used by women in much of the world. The stress associated with their use can lead adverse responses in the body. Objective: The aim of this paper was to evaluate the effects of chronic stress associated with contraceptive use on the progression of ligature-induced periodontitis in female Lewis rats. Material and method: Therefore, forty rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n = 8): contraceptive and ligature group (CG); stress and ligature group (SG); contraceptive, stress and ligature group (CSG); ligature group (LG); and control group (CtrlG). An injectable contraceptive was administered to the CG and CSG groups at the beginning of the experiment. On the following day, periodontitis was induced in the CG, SG, LG and CSG groups by placing ligatures on the upper-right second molar. On the third day, the SG and the CSG were subjected to a chronic stress model using physical restraint and cold exposure. After 60 days, the animals were euthanized and submitted to histometric measurements. Two parameters were considered: histological attachment loss (CEJ-PL) and bone loss (CEJ-BC). Regarding CEJ-PL/CEJ-BC. Result: The results indicated that the CtrlG (CEJ-PL 0.10 ± 0.00; CEJ-BC 0.34 ± 0.02) showed the lowest values (p<0.05). The SG group (CEJ-PL 0.90 ± 0.24; CEJ-BC 1.30 ± 0.28) presented higher values that were significantly different (p<0.05) from the results of the LG. The other groups exhibited similar statistical results (p>0.05). Conclusion: The present results do not allow an assessment of the susceptibility of animals to ligature-induced periodontitis.

Resumo
Introdução: Os contraceptivos são amplamente utilizados pelas mulheres em grande parte do mundo. O estresse associado a sua utilização pode conduzir respostas adversas no organismo. Objetivo: O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar os efeitos do estresse crônico associado ou não com o uso de contraceptivos na progressão de periodontite induzida por ligadura em ratas Lewis. Material e método: Para tanto, quarenta ratas foram divididas aleatoriamente em 5 grupos (n = 8): Grupo Contraceptivo e Ligadura (CG); Grupo Estresse e Ligadura (SG); Grupo Contraceptivo, Estresse e Ligadura (CSG); Grupo Ligadura (LG); e Grupo Controle (CtrlG). Um contraceptivo injetável foi administrado nos grupos CG e CSG no início do experimento. No dia seguinte, a periodontite foi induzida nos grupos CG, SG, LG e CSG, através da colocação de ligaduras no segundo molar superior direito destes animais. No terceiro dia, o SG e o CSG foram submetidos a um modelo de estresse crônico usando contenção física e exposição ao frio. Após 60 dias, os animais foram sacrificados e submetidos a medidas histométricas. Foram considerados dois parâmetros: perda de inserção histológico (CEJ-PL) e perda óssea (CEJ-BC). Resultado: Os resultados indicaram que o CtrlG (CEJ-PL 0,10 ± 0,00; CEJ-BC 0,34 ± 0,02) apresentaram os valores mais baixos (p<0,05). O grupo SG (CEJ-PL 0,90 ± 0,24; CEJ-BC 1,30 ± 0,28) apresentou valores mais elevados que foram significativamente diferentes (p<0,05) dos resultados do LG. Os outros grupos apresentaram resultados estatísticos semelhantes (p>0,05). Conclusão: Os resultados deste estudo não permitem uma avaliação da susceptibilidade dos animais à periodontite induzida por ligadura. Sendo necessários, portanto, outros estudos que elucidem melhor a questão.
