The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the application of tension or compression
forces exerted on the periodontium during the early phase of orthodontic tooth movement is …

A host-derived neutrophil-activating cytokine interleukin-8 (IL-8) is secreted mainly by
monocytes and is considered to be important in regulating alveolar bone resorption during …

The purpose of this study was to examine gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) levels of two potent
bone resorbing mediators, prostaglandin E (PGE) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β), during human …

Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and monocyte chemoattractants are key modulators of
the biological mechanisms triggered in the periodontium by mechanical forces. The gingival …

Structured Abstract Objectives Investigate the expression and activity of inflammatory
markers in response to different magnitudes of orthodontic forces and correlate this …

INTRODUCTION: Previously, we reported fluctuation of the levels of the inflammatory
mediators interleukin-1β (ΙL-1β) and β-glucuronidase (βG) in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) …

Metabolism by peptidases plays an important role in modulating the levels of biologically-
active neuropeptides, while that of substance P (SP), a component of gingival crevicular fluid …

Objective: To test whether interleukine 1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor–α (TNF-α) levels
differ from each other in different treatment levels. Materials and Methods: Eighteen patients …

Introduction: Tooth movement has been studied largely with respect to the force required for
tipping when pressure distribution varies along the length of the periodontal ligament. But …

Introduction: The aims of this study were to determine levels of interleukins 2, 6, and 8 during
tooth movement, and test whether they differ from each other with leveling and distalization …
