Effects of H 2 O 2 on bone were evaluated in an organ culture system. Tibiae from chick embryos were incubated for up to 3 days in culture medium containing 0.07 to 20 mM H 2 O 2 . Glucose metabolism was monitored by measuring lactate production and oxygen consumption, and collagen synthesis was determined by hydroxylation of proline. In addition to markedly inhibiting these parameters, H 2 O 2 also decreased bone weight and alkaline Phosphatase activity. Multiple exposures to H 2 O 2 were somewhat more effective than a single exposure. Since H2O2 inhibits bone at low concentrations in vitro , the results suggest that the potential for harmful effects of H 2 O 2 in the oral cavity should be investigated.
