Optical approach for monitoring the periodontal ligament changes induced by orthodontic forces around maxillary anterior teeth of white rats

Abstract: Structural variations of the periodontal ligament (PDL) induced by orthodontic forces have been evaluated by optical coherence tomography (OCT) and compared to images obtained by conventional radiography. Here, two specially designed orthodontic appliances were installed on the maxillary anterior teeth of white rats for applying different magnitudes of orthodontic forces. Constant distraction force magnitudes of 0, 5, 10, and 30 gf were given to four respective rats over a period of 5 days. At the end of the t… Show more

“…The condition of the ligaments was imaged using optical coherence tomography and X-rays. OCT scans showed differences in periodontal ligament arrangement depending on the size of the applied force and their significant twist when using the greatest forces [ 41 ]. In subsequent studies, scans of the periodontium were performed and the lengths of both stretched and relaxed ligaments were measured.…”

“…Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a wellestablished imaging system in biomedical fields [11]. In dentistry, OCT has been an attractive tool for monitoring and long-term studies [12][13][14]. The reliance on backscattered light from tissue structure to produce real-time images has allowed high-resolution subsurface evaluation without destructing the specimen.…”
