The prolonged duration of orthodontic treatment remains a significant concern for both orthodontists and patients. In this study, we developed a degradable microneedle (MN) patch composed of hyaluronic acid (HA) and sodium alginate (SA) for the delivery of receptor activator of nuclear factor-kappa B ligand (RANKL) to accelerate tooth movement. This MN patch that was crosslinked by calcium chloride (CaCl) exhibited adequate mechanical properties and favorable in vitro mucosal insertion ability. Moreover, the MN patch can achieve sustained release of RANKL and maintain the biological stability of RANKL protein after one month of storage at -20 °C, 4 °C, or 37 °C. In vitro experiments using RAW 264.7 cells indicated that the HA/SA/RANKL MN possessed excellent biocompatibility and could effectively induce osteoclast differentiation. In vivo application of the HA/SA/RANKL MN in rat models showed a remarkable effect in promoting osteoclast formation and accelerating tooth movement. These findings suggest that the degradable HA/SA/RANKL MN holds significant potential for enhancing tooth movement efficiency.

Proper alignment of the teeth not only aids in functional occlusion but also promotes harmonious gingival contours, potentially reducing the risk of inflammation and gingival recession. This case series aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of optimizing axial inclination through clear aligner orthodontic treatment in addressing gingival recession defects. This case series included nine patients, aged 20-36 years, who presented with varying degrees of gingival recession on 12 mandibular incisors.

Aim: This study intended to comprehend the effects of injectable platelet-rich fibrin (i-PRF) on anchor loss and space closure rates during the retraction phase of orthodontic treatment.
Materials And Methods: Twenty-four participants with malocclusion, necessitating extractions and space closure during orthodontic treatment, were enrolled and divided into two groups ( = 12 participants) group A: the experimental group was administered i-PRF on the maxilla/mandible, while group B: the control group did not. Measurements of the rate of space closure, anchor loss, and salivary enzyme activity were done before retraction (T0), after three weeks (T1), after six weeks (T2), and after nine weeks (T3).

Background: Periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) possess mechanotransduction capability, vital in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) and maintaining periodontal homeostasis. The study aims to elucidate the expression profiles of mechanosensitive ion channel (MIC) families in PDLCs and how the inflammatory mediator alters their expression and function, advancing the understanding of the biological process of OTM.
Methods And Methods: Human PDLCs were cultured and exposed to TNF-α.

Although the modulus of elasticity of the human periodontal ligament (E) values used in dentistry widely ranged from 0.01 to 175 MPa, the exact E value has not been determined. This study aimed to verify whether and how E values affect the stress distribution over the tooth and periodontium structures, and to determine the appropriate E range.

Objective: The mechanical stimulation known as orthodontic mechanical force (OMF) causes biological reactions in orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). Heat shock protein-70 (HSP-70) needs pro-inflammatory cytokines to trigger bone resorption in OTM; nevertheless, heat shock protein-10 (HSP-10), a "Alarmin" cytokine, should control these pro-inflammatory cytokines to get the best alveolar bone remodeling (ABR).
