Article Synopsis
  • The study investigates the role of microRNA-155 (miR-155) in orthodontic tooth movement and osteoclast differentiation, as its specific functions in these areas remain unclear.
  • Researchers used various agents to manipulate miR-155 levels in murine cells and observed effects on osteoclast differentiation and tooth movement in mouse models.
  • Results indicated that higher levels of miR-155 decreased osteoclast activity and tooth movement, while inhibiting miR-155 led to increased osteoclast function and improved tooth movement rates, with SOCS1 identified as a potential target gene for miR-155.

Clear aligners are removable orthodontic appliances that cover the tooth surface. The microbial composition and pH of the inner surface of aligners directly affect the enamel health. In this study, eight subjects who used the same type of clear aligners were instructed to brush their teeth normally and to not clean their aligners until sampling.
