Objective: The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of systemic ozonotherapy on bone remodeling of critical defects in the calotte of rats, with and without a xenograft presence, using an animal model of immunosuppression induced by corticosteroids. Methods: Sixty male Wistar rats (180-220 g), distributed in 8 experimental groups (N = 8 / group) were used. For corticosteroid therapy (groups II, IV, VI and VIII), the animals received dexamethasone (1 mg / kg; i.p.), one injection every 48 h, starting two weeks before the surgical procedures, extending to euthanasia. Control animals (groups I, III, V and VII) received saline solution (10 ml / kg, i.p.) at the same time intervals. After two weeks of corticosteroid therapy, the animals were anesthetized with ketamine and xylazine (100 and 10 mg / kg, i.p.) to produce two critical defects in the parietal bones of the skull cap (5 mm diameter). The defects were filled with clot (groups I, II, V and VI) or Bio-Oss x xenograft (Geistlish Biomaterials, Germany) (groups III, IV, VII and VIII). In all groups, the right defect was covered by a Bio-Gide? collagen membrane (Geistlish Biomaterials, Germany). For systemic ozono-therapy, animals of groups V, VI, VII and VIII received an application of ozone (0.7 mg / kg, i.p.) every day for 7 days, starting immediately after surgery. Four weeks after the defects were created, the animals were euthanized, and the skull caps were collected for histological evaluation of the bone neoformation with hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The protocols were approved by the Ethics Committee on the Use of Animals (7691). Qualitative histological analyzes were performed based on the pattern of connective tissue formation around the defect, existence of inflammatory cells in the region, aspect of bone trabeculated, osteoblastic activity around the bone matrix and existence of graft particles in the region. Results: Groups V and VII presented greater bone areas along the surface of the defect compared to VI and VIII, because of the potential effects of ozone on bone remodeling, minimizing negative interference in the glucocorticoid bone microarray. The presence of the xenografts groups III, IV, VII, VIII, provided the covering of an extensive area of the defect, forming a more prominent immature bone matrix near the edges of the defects, with the presence of graft particles dispersed in the central area. The presence of the type I collagen membrane was shown to be an important tool in the acceleration of bone remodeling used in all experimental groups, in which, in comparison to contralateral defects in which the membrane was not used, a significant increase of bone just graduated. At the systemic level, the results of ozone treatment allowed the reduction of adverse effects of glucocorticoids, such as the reduction of the body weight of the animals and atrophy of lymphatic organs such as spleen, observed in the groups treated alone with dexamethasone. Conclusion: Given the limitations of the animal study, the use of systemic ozone associated with the xenograft stimulates bone remodeling in critical defects of immunosuppressed rats.
