<h4>Background</h4>Accelerating the rate of tooth movement may help to reduce the duration of orthodontic treatment and associated unwanted effects including root resorption and enamel demineralisation. Several methods, including surgical and non-surgical adjuncts, have been advocated to accelerate the rate of tooth movement. Non-surgical techniques include low-intensity laser irradiation, resonance vibration, pulsed electromagnetic fields, electrical currents and pharmacological approaches.<h4> ...[more]

Project description:BackgroundA range of surgical and non-surgical techniques have received increasing attention in recent years in an effort to reduce the duration of a course of orthodontic treatment. Various surgical techniques have been used; however, uncertainty exists in relation to the effectiveness of these procedures and the possible adverse effects related to them.ObjectivesTo assess the effects of surgically assisted orthodontics on the duration and outcome of orthodontic treatment.Search methodsWe searched the following electronic databases: the Cochrane Oral Health Group's Trials Register (to 10 September 2014), the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials (CENTRAL) (The Cochrane Library 2014, Issue 8), MEDLINE via OVID (1946 to 10 September 2014), EMBASE via OVID (1980 to 10 September 2014), LILACS via BIREME (1980 to 10 September 2014), metaRegister of Controlled Trials (to 10 September 2014), ClinicalTrials.gov (to 10 September 2014), and the World Health Organization (WHO) International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (to 10 September 2014). We checked the reference lists of all trials identified for further studies. There were no restrictions regarding language or date of publication in the electronic searches.Selection criteriaRandomised controlled trials (RCTs) evaluating the effect of surgical adjunctive procedures for accelerating tooth movement compared with conventional treatment (no surgical adjunctive procedure).Data collection and analysisAt least two review authors independently assessed the risk of bias in the trials and extracted data. We used the fixed-effect model and expressed results as mean differences (MD) with 95% confidence intervals (CI). We investigated heterogeneity with reference to both clinical and methodological factors.Main resultsWe included four RCTs involving a total of 57 participants ranging in age from 11 to 33 years. The interventions evaluated were corticotomies to facilitate orthodontic space closure or alignment of an ectopic maxillary canine, with the effect of repeated surgical procedures assessed in one of these studies. The studies did not report directly on the primary outcome as prespecified in our protocol: duration of orthodontic treatment, number of visits during active treatment (scheduled and unscheduled) and duration of visits. The main outcome assessed within the trials was the rate of tooth movement, with periodontal effects assessed in one trial and pain assessed in one trial. A maximum of just three trials with small sample sizes were available for each comparison and outcome. We assessed all of the studies as being at unclear risk of bias.Tooth movement was found to be slightly quicker with surgically assisted orthodontics in comparison with conventional treatment over periods of one month (MD 0.61 mm; 95% CI 0.49 to 0.72; P value < 0.001) and three months (MD 2.03 mm, 95% CI 1.52 to 2.54; P value < 0.001). Our results and conclusions should be interpreted with caution given the small number of included studies. Information on adverse events was sought; however, no data were reported in the included studies.Authors' conclusionsThis review found that there is limited research concerning the effectiveness of surgical interventions to accelerate orthodontic treatment, with no studies directly assessing our prespecified primary outcome. The available evidence is of low quality, which indicates that further research is likely to change the estimate of the effect. Based on measured outcomes in the short-term, these procedures do appear to show promise as a means of accelerating tooth movement. It is therefore possible that these procedures may prove useful; however, further prospective research comprising assessment of the entirety of treatment with longer follow-up is required to confirm any possible benefit.

Project description:An OTM-related healing model was established where a maxillary second premolar was protracted into the critical-sized defect for 6 weeks (Group DT6). As controls, natural healing models without OTM were set at 2 weeks (Group D2) and at 6 weeks (Group D6) after surgery. Total RNAs were extracted from dissected regenerated tissues and additionally from sound alveolar bone as a baseline (Group C). mRNA profiling was performed using microarray analysis.

Project description:ObjectiveThis meta-analysis aimed at critically assessing currently available evidence regarding the overall effectiveness of Piezocision in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement, as well as the adverse effects of this intervention in orthodontic patients.Search methodsElectronic search of 6 databases and additional manual searches up to April 2019 without restrictions, also update the search was done by 20th November.Selection criteriaRandomized controlled trials (RCT) and controlled clinical trials (CCT) reporting piezocision-assisted orthodontics versus conventional orthodontics were included in the review.Data collection and analysisThe data are expressed by mean differences (MD), 95% confidence intervals, fixed-effect model or random-effect model in the meta-analysis in regard to statistical heterogeneity analyses (tau2, and I2). Included randomized studies were assessed for risk of bias using the new Cochrane Risk of Bias tool (ROB.2) and the non-randomized studies were assessed using (ROBINS I) tool. The studies were graded according to the GRADE approach.ResultsFourteen papers for 13 unique trials were included in this systematic review and eight studies were included in the meta-analysis. The meta-analysis showed that the mean difference of the canine retraction rate in the first and second month after piezocision was 0.66 mm/month and 0.48mm/month, respectively. A total canine retraction rate in the first two months after piezocision was statistically significant (0.57 mm/month, p<0.00001), favoring the piezocision group with a high heterogeneity between studies I2 = 69%. For the total treatment time outcome measure, there was a statistically significant difference in the overall treatment time (MD 101.64 Days, 95% CI, 59.24-144.06) favoring the piezocision group.ConclusionsLow quality evidence suggests that piezocision is an effective surgical procedure in accelerating the rate of canine retraction in the first two months and reducing the treatment duration. However, this effect appears to be clinically insignificant.Systematic review registrationCRD42019136303.

Project description:ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement of crowded maxillary incisors.Materials and methodsThis two-arm, parallel-group, randomized controlled trial involved 26 patients with severe to extreme maxillary incisors irregularity according to Little's irregularity index, indicating two first premolars extraction. Patients were randomly assigned to either the laser group or the control group (13 each). Following premolars extraction, orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances was initiated for both groups. Immediately after insertion of the first archwire, patients in the laser group received a LLL dose from an 830-nm wavelength Ga-Al-As semiconductor laser device with energy of 2 J/point. The laser was applied to each maxillary incisor's root at four points (two buccal, two palatal). Application was repeated on days 3, 7, 14, and then every 15 days starting from the second month until the end of the leveling and alignment stage. Alignment progress was evaluated on the study casts taken before inserting the first archwire (T0), after 1 month of treatment commencement (T1), after 2 months (T2), and at the end of the leveling and alignment stage (T3). The outcome measures were the overall time needed for leveling and alignment and the leveling and alignment improvement percentage.ResultsA statistically significant difference was found between the two groups in the overall treatment time (P < .001) and the leveling and alignment improvement percentage at T1 (P = .004) and T2; (P = .001).ConclusionLLLT is an effective method for accelerating orthodontic tooth movement.

Project description:Clinical evidence has suggested that surgical corticotomy of the alveolar bone can accelerate local orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), but the underlying cell and molecular mechanisms remain largely unclear. The present study examined the role of macrophages played in corticotomy-assisted OTM. Orthodontic nickel-titanium springs were applied to the left maxillary first molars of rats or mice to induce OTM with or without corticotomy. Corticotomy enhanced OTM distance by accelerating movement through induction of local osteoclastogenesis and macrophage infiltration during OTM. Further analysis showed that macrophages were polarized toward an M1-like phenotype immediately after corticotomy and then switched to an M2-like phenotype during OTM. The microenvironment of corticotomy induced macrophage infiltration and polarization through the production of TNF-α. More importantly, the amount of OTM induced by corticotomy was significantly decreased after mice were depleted of monocyte/macrophages by injection of liposome-encapsulated clodronate. Further experiments by incubating cultured macrophages with fresh tissue suspension obtained from post-corticotomy gingiva switched the cells to an M1 phenotype through activation of the nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) signaling pathway, and to an M2 phenotype through activation of the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway. Our results suggest that corticotomy induces macrophage polarization first by activating the NF-κB signaling pathway and later by activating the JAK/STAT3 signaling pathway, and that these processes contribute to OTM by triggering production of inflammatory cytokines and osteoclastogenesis.

Project description:The stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1)/chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) axis plays a key role in alveolar bone metabolism during orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). Herein, the effects of the SDF-1/CXCR4 axis on the regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP) in OTM velocity and on changes in the surrounding periodontium after adjacent tooth extraction in rats were investigated. Six-week-old male Wistar/ST rats underwent left maxillary first molar (M1) extraction and mesial OTM of the left maxillary second molar (M2) with a 10-g force closed-coil spring. Phosphate-buffered saline, immunoglobulin G (IgG) isotype control antibody, or anti-SDF-1 neutralizing monoclonal antibody were injected at the M1 and M2 interproximal areas (10 μg/0.1 mL) for the first three days. Analyses were performed after 1, 3, and 7 days (n = 7). The results demonstrated a significant increase in SDF-1 expression from day 1, which was effectively blocked via anti-SDF-1 neutralizing monoclonal antibody injection. On day 3, the M2 OTM distance and the number of positively stained osteoclasts significantly reduced alongside a reduction in inflammatory markers in the experimental group. Our results demonstrated that serial local injection of the anti-SDF-1 neutralizing monoclonal antibody reduces M2 OTM, osteoclast accumulation, and localized inflammatory responses in an OTM model with tooth extraction-induced RAP.

Project description:ObjectivesTo investigate the effect of micro-osteoperforation (MOP) on the horizontal and vertical distribution of mandibular trabeculae bone volume fraction in relation to different MOP intervals during canine retraction.Materials and methodsThis single-center, single-blinded, prospective randomized split-mouth clinical trial included 30 healthy participants aged 18 years and older, randomized into three groups of different MOP intervals (4, 8, and 12-weekly). Cone beam computed tomography images were taken to assess the bone volume fraction (bone volume over total volume or BV/TV).ResultsBV/TV was significantly reduced (mean difference: 9.79%, standard deviation [SD]: 11.89%; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 4.77, 14.81%; P < .01) and canine retraction increased (mean difference: -1.25 mm/4 mo, SD: 0.79 mm; 95% CI: -1.59, -0.92 mm; P < .01) with MOP, compared to control sites. MOP significantly changed the vertical and horizontal patterns of trabeculae bone with lower values nearer to intervention sites. Only the 4-weekly MOP interval group showed significant decrease in BV/TV (mean difference: 14.73%, SD: 12.88%; 95% CI: 3.96, 25.50%; P = .01) despite significant increase in canine retraction rate for all interval groups. With the use of MOP, BV/TV was found to be inversely correlated to the rate of canine retraction (r = -0.425; P = .04).ConclusionsMandibular trabecular alveolar bone volume fraction was reduced and rate of orthodontic tooth movement increased with MOP, especially in the 4-weekly interval. However, this effect was limited to the immediate interdental region of MOP.

Project description:Tooth movement induced by orthodontic treatment can cause sequential reactions involving the periodontal tissue and alveolar bone, resulting in the release of numerous substances from the dental tissues and surrounding structures. To better understand the biological processes involved in orthodontic treatment, improve treatment, and reduce adverse side effects, several of these substances have been proposed as biomarkers. Potential biological markers can be collected from different tissue samples, and suitable sampling is important to accurately reflect biological processes. This paper covers the tissue changes that are involved during orthodontic tooth movement such as at compression region (involving osteoblasts), tension region (involving osteoclasts), dental root, and pulp tissues. Besides, the involvement of stem cells and their development towards osteoblasts and osteoclasts during orthodontic treatment have also been explained. Several possible biomarkers representing these biological changes during specific phenomenon, that is, bone remodelling (formation and resorption), inflammation, and root resorption have also been proposed. The knowledge of these biomarkers could be used in accelerating orthodontic treatment.

Project description:ObjectiveThe primary objective of this study was to quantify the orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and orthodontically induced root resorption (OIRR) with differential force system in conjunction with minimal surgical insult.Material and methods15-week-old, 48 male Wistar rats were used in the research and were randomly divided into six groups: 1. Group 1 (8 Wistar rats): OTM for 14 days with 8-g force; 2. Group 2 (8 Wistar rats): OTM for 14 days with 25-g force; 3. Group 3 (8 Wistar rats): OTM for 14 days with 100-g force; 4. Group 4 (8 Wistar rats): OTM for 14 days with 8-g force and alveolar decortications (ADs); 5. Group 5 (8 Wistar rats): OTM for 14 days with 25-g force and ADs; 6. Group 6 (8 Wistar rats): OTM for 14 days with 100-g force and ADs. A nickel-titanium spring was used to protract the molar mesially using maxillary incisors as an anchorage. ADs (minimal surgical insult) were done using a hand piece and a round bur, adjacent to the left first maxillary molar on the palatal alveolar bone. After 14 days of OTM, Wistar rats were killed and microfocus computed tomography and histological analysis were performed.ResultsThe 100-g group showed significant increase (P < 0.05) in OTM. However, with ADs, the OTM was significantly higher (P < 0.05) in 8 and 100 g. In addition, with ADs, there is significant increase (P < 0.05) in OIRR and significant decrease (P < 0.05) in bone volume fraction. Histological quantification of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase indicated a significant increase (P < 0.05) in the number of osteoclasts with ADs when compared without ADs.ConclusionsLight force in conjunction with ADs are optimal to accelerate the OTM. Additionally, ADs increases the OIRR.

Project description:Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) is a "sterile" inflammatory process. The present study aimed to reveal the underlying biological mechanisms, by studying the force associated-gene expression changes, in a time-dependent manner. Ni-Ti springs were set to move the upper 1st-molar in C57BL/6 mice. OTM was measured by ?CT. Total-RNA was extracted from tissue blocks at 1,3,7 and 14-days post force application, and from two control groups: naïve and inactivated spring. Gene-expression profiles were generated by next-generation-RNA-sequencing. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis, K-means algorithm and Ingenuity pathway analysis were used for data interpretation. Genes of interest were validated with qRT-PCR. A total of 3075 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) were identified, with the greatest number at day 3. Two distinct clusters patterns were recognized: those in which DEGs peaked in the first days and declined thereafter (tissue degradation, phagocytosis, leukocyte extravasation, innate and adaptive immune system responses), and those in which DEGs were initially down-regulated and increased at day 14 (cell proliferation and migration, cytoskeletal rearrangement, tissue homeostasis, angiogenesis). The uncovering of novel innate and adaptive immune processes in OTM led us to propose a new term "Immunorthodontics". This genomic data can serve as a platform for OTM modulation future approaches.
