Objective: Cortical activation is one of the procedures to accelerate tooth movement by
manipulating the cortical bone. In this study, the effect of cortical activation on orthodontic …

Objective: The aim of the present systematic review was to evaluate the periodontal tissue
inflammation indexes in patients undergoing different orthodontic treatment. Method and …

In the early stage of orthodontic tooth movement, an acute inflammatory response
characterized by the migration of leukocytes occurs. This response suggests the presence of …

Oral Diseases (2011) 17, 489–498 Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate how
interleukin (IL)‐8 (cytokine‐induced neutrophil chemoattractant; CINC‐1) and monocyte …

INTRODUCTION: The variables affecting speed of tooth movement are unquantified. In
particular, the effects of stress and human biological variations are unknown. Therefore, our …

This article reviews the evolution of concepts regarding the biological foundation of force-
induced tooth movement. Nineteenth century hypotheses proposed two mechanisms …

When force is applied to a tooth during orthodontic tooth movement, mechanical stress is
loaded on the alveolar bone. Alveolar bone and the periodontal ligament (PDL) are …

It has been shown that inhibiting the expression of certain cytokines decreases the rate of
tooth movement. Here, we hypothesized that stimulating the expression of inflammatory …

Orthodontics is based upon the cellular response to biomechanical forces. However, Little is
known about the way cells respond to such forces. An experimental model has been …

Orthodontic force‐induced stresses cause dynamic alterations within the extracellular matrix
and within the cytoskeleton of cells in the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, mediating …
