Background: The purpose of this paper was to evaluate the influence obesity on alveolar bone tissue, either associated with ligature-induced periodontal disease, or not. possible association between and periodontitis is mainly related production inflammatory cytokines. Methods: Twenty-four male Wistar rats were divided into following groups: control group (CON); ligature (LIG) by induced in 24th week; obese (OBESE) received cafeteria diet; (OBESE + LIG) diet week. Results: number osteocytes region distance from cementoenamel junction crest assessed, descriptive analysis tissues performed. results showed that both led decreased (P < 0.01), increased 0.01). Conclusions: In addition, characteristics reabsorption tissue found. It could be concluded obesity, isolation, resulted a reduction mass; however, it more intense when loss, demonstrating contributed loss periodontitis.
