Tissue changes, particularly of the bone, incident to tooth movement

3D Facial Soft Tissue Changes Due to Orthodontic Tooth Movement

[Osteopontin mRNA expression in remodeling alveolar bone incident to tooth movement--visualized by in situ hybridization].

The purpose of this study was to investigate the osteopontin mRNA expression in the alveolar bone incident to the physiologic and experimental tooth movement. The upper jaws of female rats (7 weeks old) which were submitted to experimental molar tooth movement and control specimens were decalcified and sliced into paraffin sections. Osteopontin mRNA expression and tartrate-resistant acid phosph...

determination of orthodontic tooth movement and tissue reaction following demineralized freeze-dried bone allograft grafting intervention

background: socket preservation after tooth extraction is one of the indications of bone grafting to enhance preorthodontic condition. the aim of this study is to determine the effects of socket preservation on the immediate tooth movement, alveolar ridge height preservation and orthodontic root resorption. materials and methods: in a split-mouth technique, twelve sites in three dogs were inves...

Sclerostin Promotes Bone Remodeling in the Process of Tooth Movement

Tooth movement is a biological process of bone remodeling induced by mechanical force. Sclerostin secreted by osteocytes is mechanosensory and important in bone remodeling. However, little is known regarding the role of sclerostin in tooth movement. In this study, models of experimental tooth movement were established in rats and mice. Sclerostin expression was investigated with immunohistochem...

Effect of Long-Term Captopril Administration on Bone Density and Orthodontic Tooth Movement

Background and Aim: Captopril is an oral angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE) inhibitor extensively used in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure. ACE has been suggested to function in bone cells and might therefore impact orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). Considering the controversy surrounding the effects of ACE and its inhibitors on osseous tissues, we aimed to evaluate the effect o...
