Orthodontic tooth movement is fundamentally driven by the application of controlled mechanical forces to reposition teeth within the alveolar process. This movement is intrinsically linked to alveolar ...

This diagram illustrates the role of macrophage ATF6 in orthodontic tooth movement. When corticotomy is applied, monocytes are recruited to the bone, where they differentiate into pro-inflammatory ...

Formation of functional skeletal tissues requires highly organized steps of mesenchymal progenitor cell differentiation. The dental follicle (DF) surrounding the developing tooth harbors mesenchymal ...

Sustained hypoxia affects orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) by altering osteoclast and osteoblast differentiation, report researchers from Institute of Science Tokyo, Japan. Hypoxic conditions resulted ...

A new birth cohort study reveals that a mother’s stress-related hormones in late pregnancy, especially cortisol, may quietly influence when her baby’s first teeth appear, uncovering a surprising link ...
