Alveolar bone turnover in male rats: Site‐ and age‐specific changes

Abstract: We conclude that the bone turnover dynamics adjacent to maxillary first molars represent predominantly remodeling on the distal in both groups and modeling on the mesial only in the young rats, that distal molar tooth drift reflects alveolar bone turnover, and that alveolar bone manifests the marked reduction in bone cell activity that occurs in the rat skeleton after 8 weeks but that this reduction is compensated by recruitment or maintenance of more bone cells at these sites.

“…Intriguingly, King et al . (31), found that mature rats have more osteoblasts on both alveolar bone surfaces than young animals, despite substantial losses in bone formative activity, and suggested that the age‐related decrease in alveolar bone formation was a result primarily of the loss of osteoblastic activity rather than the ability to recruit new cells.…”

“…There is evidence that the ACF is not the sole masticatory force component that affects tooth position. In rats, where distal drift is physiologically determined (King et al, 1995), mesial tooth drift occurs when the dental contact point (CP) is removed (Roux and Woda, 1994). Similar reaction was found in humans, where mesial drift is physiologically determined, second premolar extraction causes distal drift of the first premolar (Matteson et al, 1982).…”

“…Previous studies in male rats showed that alveolar bone turnover and osteoblastic/osteoclastic activity decrease with age. [20][21][22] In our study, the duration of hypofunctional condition was 11 and 7 weeks for the hypofunctional and recovery groups, respectively. However, since the growth potential of 12-week-old rats is minimal, it was considered that there was no difference between 7-week and 11-week hypofunctional conditions.…”
