Effect of humic acid as a photosensitizer combined with low-energy laser on orthodontic tooth movement in rats

Journal of Dental Sciences, 2022
Background/purpose: Humic acid (HA) could promote light conversion reaction, and lasers accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. We investigated the effect of HA, as a photosensitizer, combined with low-energy laser on orthodontic tooth movement in rats ...

Macrophages mediate corticotomy-accelerated orthodontic tooth movement [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2018
AbstractClinical evidence has suggested that surgical corticotomy of the alveolar bone can accelerate local orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), but the underlying cell and molecular mechanisms remain largely unclear. The present study examined the role of macrophages played in corticotomy-assisted OTM.

Acceleration of Orthodontic Tooth Movement: An Overview

Anadolu Kliniği Tıp Bilimleri Dergisi, 2018
The purpose of orthodontic treatment is to enhance patients’ life quality by improving their dentofacial functions and aesthetics. Minimal histological damage and pain, rapid tooth movement, short treatment duration, and stability of results are the major criteria for successful treatment.

Coordinated Architectural and Chemical Reinforcement in the Crushing Mandible of a Soldier Termite

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The crushing mandible of a soldier termite withstands substantial biting loads despite lacking mineral. Its cuticle is partitioned: convex teeth pair hardness and zinc enrichment with aligned chitin fibers for contact durability, while stiffer concave regions between teeth carry bending loads.
