Objectives: The aim of this in vitro and in vivo study was to investigate the interaction of periodontitis and orthodontic tooth movement on interleukin (IL)-6 and C-X-C motif chemokine 2 (CXCL2). Materials and methods: ...

Objectives: The present study aimed to compare two different models of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in rats by evaluating tooth movement efficiency and periodontal tissues remodelling. Design: Fifteen animals were ...

Several reviews have been published about the effects of systemic or local application of medications on orthodontic tooth movement. The interpretation of the results is complicated by the large variation between the animals ...

The purposes of the present study are to assess the effects of the GaAlAs diode laser on the periodontal tissues and to investigate its action on the alveolar bone remodeling process during orthodontic tooth movement in ...

Purpose: Orthodontic treatment is based on the principle of force application to teeth and subsequently to the surrounding tissues and periodontal cells. Sequestosome 1 (SQSTM1) is a well-known marker for autophagy, which ...

The aim of the study was to clarify whether orthodontic forces and periodontitis interact with respect to the anti-apoptotic molecules superoxide dismutase 2 (SOD2) and baculoviral IAP repeat-containing protein 3 (BIRC3). ...
