Abstract Background and objectives Few studies have evaluated the effect of the topical application of sodium alendronate (ALN) on the treatment of intrabuccal bone defects, especially those caused by periodontitis. This 6-month randomized placebo controlled clinical trial aimed at evaluating the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment associated with the use of 1% ALN, through clinical evaluations and cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Material and Methods Twenty individuals with chronic periodontitis underwent periodontal examination at the baseline as well as 3 and 6 months after periodontal treatment, registering clinical attachment level (CAL), periodontal probing depth (PPD), and bleeding on probing (BOP) as the clinical outcomes. After manual scaling and root planing, 40 bilateral sites with interproximal vertical bone defects were randomly treated with either 1% ALN gel or a placebo. Bone defects were evaluated through CBCT at the baseline and 6 months post-treatment. The clinical and CBCT parameters were compared using the Wilcoxon and Friedman tests (p<0.05). Results Although ALN produced a greater CAL gain when compared to the placebo at 6 months post-treatment (p=0.021), both treatments produced similar effects on the PPD, BOP, and bone height. Significant differences in bone fill were observed only in patients of the ALN group (4.5 to 3.8 mm; p=0.003) at 6 months post-treatment. Conclusions Topical application of 1% ALN might be a beneficial adjuvant to non-surgical periodontal therapy.

O tratamento de defeitos ósseos intrabucais tem sido um desafi o na área odontológica, e a pesquisa de novas drogas para otimizar os resultados cirúrgicos regenerativos é de extrema importância. Existem evidências de que algumas drogas, como o ranelato de estrôncio (RSr), a sinvastatina (SNV) e o alendronato de sódio (ALE), têm propriedades anabólicas no metabolismo ósseo. A proposta desta revisão foi apresentar o estado atual da arte sobre o emprego da SNV, do RSr e do ALE em terapias odontológicas. Foi realizada uma busca bibliográfica na base PubMed e incluídos estudos relevantes relacionados ao tema para síntese deste trabalho. Concluiu-se que a aplicação do ALE e da SIN são efetivos como coadjuvantes no tratamento mêcanico da doença periodontal e como indutores de neoformação óssea, entretanto, o RSr merece ser mais bem estudado para tal afirmação.
The treatment of intraoral bone defects has been a challenge in dentistry, in this way the development of new drugs in order to optimize surgical regenerative results are extreme important. There are evidences that drugs such as strontium ranelate (RSr), simvastatin (SNV) and sodium alendronate (ALE) have anabolic properties in bone metabolism and several studies have been performed aiming to improve therapeutic strategies in bone regeneration. Therefore, the purpose of this review is to present the current state of art about the usage of SNV, RSr and ALE in dental therapies, targeting better clinical outcomes in bone manipulation techniques. A literature research was performed in PubMed database and relevant studies between were included. Our study concluded that application of ALE and SNV are effective as adjuncts with mechanical therapy of periodontal disease and also induces bone formation. In the other hand, the application of RSr as a promising bone formation drug needs to be better elucidated.
