Typical scanning electron microscopy microphotographs showing the results of alveolar bone loss, measured in micrometers as the distance between the cementoenamel junction (CEJ) and the alveolar bone crest (ABC) in the experimental groups (40x objective, scale bar: 500 μm). (A) ApoEC (control, without periodontitis induction), (B) ApoEP (with 4 weeks of periodontitis), (C) ApoEP + PBM (with photobiomodulation for 7 consecutive days after 4 weeks of periodontitis), and (D) representative bar graph of alveolar bone loss in the experimental groups. Values are represented as the mean ± SEM (one-way ANOVA, Tukey’s post hoc test, n = 6–8 animals per group). *P < 0.05 vs. ApoEC mice
