Orthodontic force elicits a biological response in the tissues surrounding the teeth, resulting
in remodeling of the periodontal ligament and the alveolar bone. The force-induced tissue …

Objectives: To investigate the effects of application of vibratory stimuli on interleukin (IL)–1β
secretion during maxillary canine distalization. Materials and Methods: Split-mouth design …

Interleukin-1β (IL-1β), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) are
proinflammatory cytokines that are thought to play a role in bone remodeling, bone …

Orthodontic tooth movement is achieved by the remodeling of periodontal ligament (PDL)
and alveolar bone in response to mechanical loading and is believed to be mediated by …

Cytokines are important signaling proteins that are liberated during immune challenges and
exhibit many modulatory activities. However, their role in periodontal modeling during …

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of 2 different anti-inflammatory drugs on
gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) volume and on prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) levels of the GCF …

Background Pain is among the most cited negative effects of orthodontic treatment. Non-
steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs seem to be an effective option for minimizing this but can …

Objectives–To investigate genetic, biologic, and mechanical factors that affect speed of …

Biologically active substances are expressed by cells within the periodontium in response to
mechanical stimuli from orthodontic appliances. Several possible biomarkers representing …

Orthodontic tooth movement differs significantly from the physiological tooth movement,
because it effects a biological response of the surrounding tissues of the teeth, resulting in a …
