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.
Background: Excessive sugar intake has become a major challenge in modern societies. Stevioside is a promising non-calorie sweetener with anti-inflammatory effects; however, its effects on the oral environment and periodontitis remain unclear. Therefore, this study explores the effect of stevioside on periodontitis in mice.

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.
