Abstract:

BACKGROUND: During orthodontic treatment, how to the increase osteogenic speed has a beneficial effect to shorten orthodontic time. Osteoprotegerin can indirectly inhibit osteoclast maturation, thereby accelerating periodontal tissue formation.
OBJECTIVE: To examine the effect of local injection of ibandronate on the periodontal tissues during orthodontic process.
METHODS: Fifty-five 8-week-old male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into a blank control group, control group and experimental group. Rats in the blank group were directly executed anesthetically without any preparation. For rats in the experiment and control groups, maxillary first molar (right side) was drawn to mesial movement under 50 g forces in all rats, lasting 21 days, then they were locally administrated with ibandronate and normal saline 1 day before retention, and then the retainers were placed. Five rats from the experimental and control groups were executed at 1, 3, 7, 14, 21 days, respectively. Tissue samples from all groups were cut and stained with hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistorchemistry staining.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed the osteoclasts in the experimental group decreased as compared with the control group. At the same point, osteoprotegerin expressed higher in the experimental group than the control group. However, there was no significant difference in osteoprotegerin level between the experimental group and control group at days 1 and 3 (P > 0.05); a significant difference was found between the two groups at days 7, 14 and 21 (P < 0.05). Expression of osteoprotegerin exhibited an increasing trend in the experimental group. As compared with the blank control group, the expression of osteoprotegerin was significantly higher in the experimental and control groups (P < 0.05). Local injection of ibandronate can stimulate osteoblasts to secrete osteoprotegerin and indirectly restrain osteoclast formation, thereby accelerating bone reconstruction.
