Author Study design Aim of the study Sample size Conclusion
De Carlos F, et al 4 Spain, 2006 Case control Comparison of the effect of Diclofenac and Rofecoxib on the inhibition of dental movement in rats. 42 male Wistar rats in 6 experimental groups: » 3 groups subjected to a 50-g coil-spring (Diclofenac, Rofecoxib, control) » 3 groups subjected to a 10-g coil-spring (Diclofenac, Rofecoxib, control) Both drugs significantly inhibit dental movement, partially in the case of Rofecoxib and totally in the case of Diclofenac.
De Carlos F, et al 5 Spain, 2007 Case control Comparison of the effect of Rofecoxib, Celecoxib, and Parecoxib on the inhibition of dental movement in rats. 28 male Wistar rats in 4 groups subjected to 50-g force derived from a coil-spring: » 5 rats received Rofecoxib » 6 rats Celecoxib » 5 rats Parecoxib » 12 control rats Rofecoxib inhibit tooth movement while Celecoxib and Parecoxib do not affect orthodontic movement.
Mermut S, et al 34 Ankara, Turkey 2007 Case control Determination of the effects of IFN- ɣ on bone during orthodontic tooth movement. 30 male Sprague Dawley rats in five groups. (6 rats per group) » 0.01 µL IFN-ɣ dose » 0.02 µL IFN-ɣ dose » 0.05 µL IFN-ɣ dose » vehicle solution control group » only orthodontics control group IFN- ɣ seems involved in bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement, which strongly suppresses osteoclastogenesis.
Gurton AU, et al 33 Ankara, Turkey 2004 Case control Comparison of the effects of PGI2 and TxA2 analogs and inhibitors on orthodontic tooth movement. 150 male Sprague-Dawley rats in five equal groups, subdivided into three subgroups (SGs) depending on the concentration. » Iloprost (PGI2 analog) » indomethacin (PGI2 inhibitor), » U 46619 (TxA2 analog), » imidazole (TxA2 inhibitor) » control group Indomethacin and Imidazole decrease the rate of tooth movement at high concentration, although there is no statistically significant difference between their inhibitory effects.
Chae HS 35 Seoul, Korea 2011 Case control Evaluation of the effects of antioxidants on the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in human periodontal ligament fibroblasts (PDLFs) Evaluation of the effects of these antioxidants on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement in rats. Two different assessments: Mechanical compression and induced hypoxia applied to human PDLFs exposed to 10 nM Resveratrol or 20 nM NAC orthodontic forces applied to 12 rats in a split-mouth design » 6 rats: experimental side treated with Resveratrol, contralateral side with vehicle solution » 6 rats: experimental side treated with NAC, contralateral side with vehicle solution Antioxidants decrease the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines in human PDLFs induced by mechanical compression and hypoxia in vitro. NAC delays orthodontic tooth movement in rats. Antioxidants may have the potential to retard orthodontic tooth movement.
