Objective: To explore the combined effects of orthodontic force and inflammation on the remodelling of periodontal tissues.
Methods: The upper first molars underwent mesial orthodontic force on 48 rats suffering experimental periodontitis and 48 rats injected lipopolysaccharide, respectively.
Results: The TNF-alpha protein expression in the compressed periodontal tissues fluctuated during 0, 2, 12 hours and 2, 7, 14 days stages, the OD value got to the peak in the compressed periodontal tissues in 2 days.
Conclusion: The mechanical remodelling effects were hindered due to the circumstance of acute or chronic inflammation. The research suggests that the orthodontic treatment to adult patients with periodontal inflammation should be taken carefully.

Association of Gingival Thickness With Incisor Morphological Characteristics and Papilla Height: A Cross-Sectional Study.

Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, 251 Hellenic Air Force & VA General Hospital, Athens, Greece.
Objective: The aim of the current study was to examine possible associations between gingival thickness and other parameters, such as crown length and width, papilla height and patient's age and gender.
Overview: This cross-sectional study included 238 consecutive white Caucasian consecutive patients in all stages of orthodontic treatment (before, in-course, and after orthodontic treatment). Measurements of gingival thickness were carried out at both central mandibular incisors, mid-facially on the buccal aspect of each tooth, and 2 mm apically to the free gingival margin, with an Ultrasound device.

Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) depends on periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs), which sense biomechanical stimuli and initiate alveolar bone remodeling. Light (optimal) forces accelerate OTM, whereas heavy forces decelerate it. However, the mechanisms by which PDLCs sense biomechanical stimuli and affect osteoclastic activities under different mechanical forces (MFs) remain unclear.

Department of Orthodontics, College of Dentistry, University of Baghdad, Iraq.
Objectives: As patients are instructed to wear thermoplastic retainers for the rest of their lives, the durability of the materials is a critical factor in evaluating whether the expense is justified. This study examined the physical and mechanical properties of three different thermoplastic retainer materials before and after thermoforming (BT and AT).
Materials And Methods: Clear Advantage Series I, Clear Advantage Series II, and Leone types were used, with each material having a thickness of 1 mm.

Department of Orthodontics, College of Dentistry, University of Baghdad, Baghdad, Iraq.
Objectives: This study aimed to determine how three different energy drink types affected the force decay of three distinct brands of clear, short elastomeric chains over various time intervals.
Materials And Methods: In this study, 600 pieces of clear, short elastomeric chains from three brands were examined. The initial force was measured immediately using a digital scale and after 1, 7, 14, 21, and 28 days.

Department of Orthodontics, Indira Gandhi Institute of Dental Sciences, Pondicherry, India.
Background/objective: Resolution of crowding remains a chief concern for patients seeking orthodontic treatment. The choice of the initial aligning archwire is crucial for achieving treatment success. Nickel-titanium (NiTi) archwires have been the first choice since their introduction.
