Objective: To examine the effect of orthodontic tooth movement on experimental Wistar rats by synthesizing melatonin formulation for administration and conducting serological analysis of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and melatonin, along with histological evaluation and immunohistochemistry analysis of ALP and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in both control and experimental groups.
Methodology: Nine male Wistar rats were randomly divided into negative ( = 3), positive control ( = 3), and experimental groups ( = 3). Endogenous melatonin levels (pg/mL) were assessed, and an orthodontic force of 10 cN was applied to positive control and experimental groups using a ligature wire.
