objective(s):pantoprazole, is a proton pump inhibitor (ppi) prescribed for the treatment of upper gastrointestinal disorders, which in high doses has been suggested to decrease calcium absorption leading to hypocalcaemia and therefore osteoporosis. the aim of this study was to assess whether pantoprazol, could alter the rate of orthodontic tooth movement (otm) in rats. materials and methods: a ...

BACKGROUND This study was designed to determine whether or not high-frequency and low-magnitude vibration affects orthodontic tooth movement caused by magnetic or/and mechanical forces. METHODS Forty-four 7-week-old Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups, with each group further divided into experimental and control subgroups. Neodymium-Iron-Boron (Nd-Fe-B) magnets and Sentalloy c...

The purpose of this study was to perform a meta-analysis on the literature concerning hyalinization in relation to experimental tooth movement in animals and humans. A structured search of electronic databases as well as hand searching retrieved 70 publications concerning the subject. After application of inclusion and exclusion criteria, 39 studies remained, of which three were in humans. Arti...

Literature review There is a paucity of information on the concise relationship between endodontics and orthodontics during treatment planning decisions. This relationship ranges from effects on the pulp from orthodontic treatment and the potential for resorption during tooth movement, to the clinical management of teeth requiring integrated endodontic and orthodontic treatment. This paper revi...

STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM Root resorption (RR) after orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is known as a multifactorial complication of orthodontic treatments. Hormonal deficiencies and their effect on bone turnover are reported to have influences on the rate of tooth movement and root resorption. PURPOSE This study was designed to evaluate the effect of female and male steroid sex hormones on toot...

background: selective alveolar corticotomy is defined as an intentional injury to cortical bone. this technique is an effective means of accelerating orthodontic tooth movement. the aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of buccal corticotomy in accelerating maxillary canine retraction. materials and methods: the sample in this clinical trial study consisted of 15 adult female patients wit...

objective: basic fibroblast growth factor (bfgf) is a cytokine involved in angiogenesis, tissue remodeling and stimulation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts. the present study assesses the effects of a local injection of bfgf on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement. materials and methods: in this laboratory animal study, we randomly divided 50 rats into 5 groups of 10 rats each. rats received 0....

Mechanical force loading exerts important effects on the skeleton by controlling bone mass and strength. Several in vivo experimental models evaluating the effects of mechanical loading on bone metabolism have been reported. Orthodontic tooth movement is a useful model for understanding the mechanism of bone remodeling induced by mechanical loading. In a mouse model of orthodontic tooth movemen...

It has previously been reported that low-energy laser irradiation stimulated the velocity of tooth movement via the receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa B (RANK)/RANK ligand and the macrophage colony-stimulating factor/its receptor (c-Fms) systems. Matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9, cathepsin K, and alpha(v) beta(3) [alpha(v)beta3] integrin are essential for osteoclastogenesis; therefore, ...
