A histologic study was done to observe the influence of occlusal hypofunction on periodontal tissues and the physiologic drift process, and to elucidate the origin of periodontal ligament narrowing. Wistar rats (24) were used. Hypofunction was induced by extracting the right maxillary molars. Histologic observations were reported on the right lower jaws which were fixed, decalcified, sectioned and stained according to classical histologic methods. Groups (2) of 5 animals were used for a complementary study using sequential fluorescent labeling to evaluate the bone formation rate. After 15 days of hypofunction, the periodontal ligament was obviously narrowed and its structure was disorganized. Woven-bone formation was noted at the top of the interradicular septa, at the bottom of the sockets and along their modeling sides. At 30 days and at intervals up to 3 mo., the periodontal ligament remained disorganized and narrowed. The newly-formed bone was engaged in a maturation process. Osteoporosis was also observed at the inferior part of the interradicular septa. Fluorescent labeling confirmed the histologic findings and showed that the induced bone formation is related to periodontal ligament narrowing and the supra-eruption process.
