The effect of differential force system and minimal surgical intervention on orthodontic tooth movement and root resorption.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

The 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 methods

15-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 sp
