Article Synopsis
- This study analyzed how inflammation in gum and bone tissue is affected during orthodontic tooth movement in rats with diabetes and periodontitis.
- It involved 40 male Wistar rats, divided into four groups to assess the impact of diabetes, periodontitis, and their combination on tooth movement over a 10-day period.
- Results showed that diabetic and periodontitis conditions increased inflammatory markers, which negatively affected tissue healing and blood vessel formation during orthodontic treatment, unlike healthy rats where these factors were more favorable.
Objectives: Evaluate the bone remodeling during orthodontic movement with corticotomy when submitted to low-intensity electrical stimulation application (microcurrent-MC) and low-level laser therapy (LLLT).
Material And Methods: One hundred and fifty Wistar rats were divided into the following 5 groups: (C) submitted to tooth movement; (Cort) tooth movement/corticotomy; (Cort-L) tooth movement/corticotomy/laser AsGaAl 808 nm (4.96J/50s); (Cort-Mc) tooth movement/corticotomy/microcurrent (10 μA/5 min); (Cort-L-Mc) tooth movement/corticotomy and laser/microcurrent alternated.
Objective: This study evaluated the effects of a low-intensity electric current on tissue reorganization during experimental orthodontic tooth movement.
Materials And Methods: Thirty-two animals were divided into two groups evaluated on days 3 and 7: OTM-orthodontic tooth movement and OTM + MC-orthodontic tooth movement and microcurrent application (10 μA/5 min). The samples were processed for histological, morphometric, and Western blotting analysis.
