Resveratrol modulates phosphorylation of ERK and AKT in murine cementoblasts during in vitro orthodontic compression.

Objective: Resveratrol is a plant polyphenol known for its anti-inflammatory and pro-regenerative properties. These could be beneficial in controlling potential side effects of orthodontic treatment, such as apical root resorption. Orthodontic tooth movement occurs as part of a sterile inflammatory response.
