Unlabelled: This randomized split-mouth study was aimed at evaluating whether an orthodontic appliance per se or orthodontic tooth movement can induce detectable changes in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) volume, and thus whether GCF volume is a predictable biomarker for tissue remodelling incident to orthodontic tooth movement.
Materials And Methods: Sixteen healthy orthodontic patients (7 females and 9 males; mean age, 17.7 years; range, 13-27 years) with the need for extraction of the first upper premolars were enrolled. One randomly chosen maxillary canine was subjected to a distalizing force by a 0.017 × 0.025 inch titanium-molybdenum alloy archwire and considered as the test tooth (TT). The contralateral canine, which was not subjected to any force but was included in an orthodontic appliance, was used as a control (CT). GCF sampling was performed at both mesial and distal sites of the CTs and TTs at baseline, immediately before applying the orthodontic appliance, and after 1 hour, 24 hours, and 7, 14, and 21 days. A Periotron was used to measure the GCF volume. A modest but significant increase in the GCF volume over time was seen in both the CTs (mesial sites) and the TTs (both mesial and distal sites) with no differences between the experimental teeth. Subclinical tissue inflammation consequent to the placement of the orthodontic appliance might be responsible for these GCF volume changes. The GCF volume does not appear to be a reliable biomarker for tissue remodelling during orthodontic treatment.

Influence of vitamin D in orthodontic tooth movement-a systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials in humans.

Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, Chettinad Dental College and Research Institute, Kelambakkam, Kancheepuram, Tamil Nadu 603103, India.
Article Synopsis
- Vitamin D plays a crucial role in balancing bone formation and resorption, which is essential for effective orthodontic tooth movement (OTM).
- A systematic literature review identified six relevant studies that evaluated the influence of vitamin D on OTM, focusing on parameters like tooth movement speed, root resorption, and other secondary outcomes.
- The meta-analysis revealed that vitamin D significantly improved tooth movement rates, indicated by a standardized mean difference of 1.43, while the effect on root resorption was less definitive.
Gingival crevicular fluid levels of TLR-9, AIM-2, and ZBP-1 in periodontal diseases.

August 2024
The Forsyth Institute, Cambridge, Massachusetts, USA.
Objectives: Toll-like receptor (TLR)-9, may play a role in periodontal disease inflammation. This study measured TLR-9 and its related molecules, absence in melanoma-2 (AIM-2) and Z-DNA-binding protein-1 (ZBP-1), in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) from patients with varying stages of periodontal disease to assess the role of pathogen-derived nucleic acids in inflammation.
Materials And Methods: The study comprised 80 participants: 20 with Stage III Grade C periodontitis, 20 with Stage III Grade B periodontitis (P-Stage III-B), 19 with gingivitis, and 21 with periodontal health.
Clinical effects of twin-block combined with maxillary expansion on the upper airway in adolescents with Class II malocclusion.

Dental Clinic, Cangzhou Central Hospital, No. 16 Xinhua West Road, Cangzhou, Hebei, 061000, China.
Background: Class II malocclusion, particularly class II division 1, poses a significant orthodontic challenge with implications for both aesthetics and health. This study aimed to explore the impact of twin-block (TB) combined with maxillary expansion treatment (TB-ME) on upper airway dimensions and inflammatory profiles in adolescents with skeletal Class II Division 1 malocclusion in adolescent.
Methods: Ninety-two eligible patients were randomly assigned to two groups: TB-ME treatment and traditional McLaughlin Bennett Trevisi (MBT) straight-wire orthodontic treatment (Control).
Association of Medication Adherence and Health Status in Heart Failure With Reduced Ejection Fraction: Insights From the CHAMP-HF Registry.

University of Missouri - Kansas City's Healthcare Institute for Innovation in Quality and Saint Luke's Mid America Heart Institute, Kansas City (R.S.E.-Z., M.M., D.D.N., M.N., J.A.S.).
Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and the importance of adhering to prescribed medication guidelines to improve health status.
- Researchers analyzed the self-reported medication adherence of 3,495 outpatient participants over a 12-month period and found that nonadherent patients had worse health status at baseline and showed less improvement over time compared to those who followed their medication regimen.
- Additionally, for patients who improved their adherence, there was a trend toward better health outcomes, highlighting the significance of medication adherence in managing HFrEF.
The gingival crevicular fluid biomarkers with micropulse vibration device: A pilot study.

Department of Orthopedics, Wuxi Ninth People's Hospital Affiliated to Soochow University, Wuxi, Jiangsu, China.
Article Synopsis
- This study looked at how vibration therapy affects gum fluid and tooth movement in orthodontic patients.
- Forty patients used a vibration device or got no treatment, and their gum fluid and tooth movement were checked at different times.
- The results showed that the vibration treatment increased certain proteins related to bone and inflammation and helped teeth move better over time compared to those who didn’t receive the treatment.
