Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to discover how hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) could reduce orthodontic relapse by altering the expressions of hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF)-1 messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA), type I collagen (Col I), and matrix metalloproteinase-1 (MMP-1) in the gingival supracrestal fibers in rabbits.
Materials And Methods: This study involved 44 male rabbits () randomly divided into the normal group (K0), the orthodontic group without HBOT (K1), and the orthodontic group with HBOT (K2). Following orthodontic separation of the two upper central incisors, a retention phase and relapse assessment were performed.
Article Synopsis
- Understanding tooth movement principles could shorten orthodontic treatment time and enhance patient satisfaction.
- The article reviews studies on hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT), which involves inhaling pure oxygen at high pressure, and its potential effects on orthodontic therapy.
- The systematic review identified 11 relevant studies that found HBOT influences bone biology markers in response to orthodontic forces and could aid in tissue healing during treatment, but more research is needed.
