The mechanical force of orthodontics produces areas of pressure and pull. In the pressure area occurs resorption of alveolar bones carried out by osteoclast cells. The study aims to find out the change in the number of osteoclast cells in the alveolar bone pressure area of mouse teeth that induced mechanical force orthodontics. 36 male rats are divided into 6 groups. Group K: mice are not given a mechanical style of orthodontics. Group P: mechanically styled orthodontics (GMOs). GMOs in mice were administered to the upper jaw molar-1 (M-1) teeth (RA) right and in both RA incisive teeth using Ni-Ti Orthodontic Closed Coil Spring diameter 0.01 inches in orthodontic force of 3.5 oz = 85.05 gr/cm2 = 10 grF for 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks. The results of the study were 1 week (1.99), 2 weeks (1.92), and 3 weeks (1.75). Conclusion of mechanical administration of orthodontic force increases the number of osteoclast cells on the 8th day (1 week), the 15th (2 weeks), and the 22nd (3 weeks). Based on the observation time there was a decrease in the number of osteoclast cells from 1 week to 2 weeks then to 3 weeks but not significant.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
