Remodeling changes in paradental tissues are considered essential in effecting orthodontic
tooth movement. The force-induced tissue strain produces local alterations in vascularity, as …

Background: The analysis of gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) may be an acceptable way to
examine the ongoing biochemical processes associated with bone turnover during …

The purpose of the study was to determine if the rate and amount of orthodontic tooth
movement in a sample of cats could be enhanced by the injection of a vitamin D metabolite …

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the application of a simple surgically
noninvasive, pulsed electromagnetic field could increase both the rate and amount of …

Prostaglandins (PGs) have been suggested as mediators of bone resorption. In addition,
their presence in the periodontal tissues has also been demonstrated. To characterize the …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of a light continuous force and an
interrupted force with weekly reactivation on interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and prostaglandin E2 …

Abrupt changes in oxygen availability within the periodontium have been suggested to have
a regulatory role in alveolar bone remodeling during tooth movement; arguably, similar to …

Abstract Prostaglandins (PGs) and leukotrienes (LTs) are products of arachidonic acid
conversion. PGs have an established role in mediating orthodontic tooth movement. The …

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of oral administration of misoprostol,
a prostaglandin E1 analog, on orthodontic tooth movement and root resorption in rats. Sixty …

Objective The purpose of this study was to determine whether an exogenous electric current
to the alveolar bone surrounding a tooth being orthodontically treated can enhance tooth …
