“…In a previous Guest Editorial, we presented the term, ''Orthodontitis''. 6 Now, we would like to follow up by proposing that Instrumental Orthodontitis, the aseptic inflammation developed in the PDL following orthodontic force application where no apical root shortening can be detected clinically using external imaging techniques, is the process where the remodeling defense mechanism is activated on the root surface. In contrast, Instrumental Detrimental Orthodontitis, where apical root shortening following treatment is evident, is when both the reversible and irreversible defense mechanisms or reactions are activated around the root surface and the apex, respectively.…”

“…Consequently, the periodontal ligament undergoes a series of events related to tissue remodeling and tooth movement, causing increased O.S. which is therefore linked to proinflammatory markers as a biological response to orthodontic therapy [ 89 ].…”

In recent years, orthodontics, a specialized branch of dentistry, has evolved considerably in terms of both techniques and materials used. Aimed at correcting dental malocclusions and craniofacial anomalies, it improves the functionality and aesthetics of the face and oral cavity. However, orthodontic treatment, in its developmental stages, may induce oxidative stress (O.S.) phenomena, with an increase in the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS), damaging the dental and periodontal tissues involved, affecting the short-, medium- and long-term results. Studies on the antioxidant effects of natural products (e.g., resveratrol, green tea, turmeric, etc.) in the medical field have aroused considerable interest in recent years. A systematic literature review was conducted on the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases using natural products (N.P.s), O.S., and orthodontic as keywords. The study aims to consider the determinants of the increase in ROS occurring during orthodontic treatment and the possibility of natural products being able to control and neutralize biochemical phenomena by restoring the physiological process in which the balance between the production of ROS and the ability of the body’s antioxidant system to neutralize them is in favor of the latter.

“…1 In 2014, at the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) convention, and also published subsequently in The Angle Orthodontist, the term ''orthodontitis'' was presented as a new generic name to the process. 2 This name, we thought, better describes the aseptic inflammatory processes that orthodontists develop by OFA. We even divided orthodontitis into two different processes: ''instrumental orthodontitis'' (IO) and ''instrumental detrimental orthodontitis'' (IDO).…”
