Intermittent force in orthodontic tooth movement

A single orthodontic activation lasting one hour can initiate tooth movement. The purpose of this study is to examine tooth movement, osteoclasts, and root resorption in rats following several one-hour activations. Rats (n = 144) were randomly assigned to intermittent (multiple activations of 1 hr/day), continuous, and sham appliances. Twelve rats were killed at 3, 5, 7, and 14 days. Tooth movement, osteoclasts, osteoclast %, and root resorption % were quantified. Continuous force moved molars mesially at days 3 and 14 (p < 0.05), but intermittent and sham did not. Intermittent and continuous force increased osteoclast numbers at days 3, 5, and 7 (p < 0.05). Continuous force increased osteoclast surface on days 3 and 14 (p < 0.05). Continuous force increased root resorption at days 5, 7, and 14 (p < 0.05). These results demonstrate that orthodontic force for one hour in 24 stimulates osteoclasts at compression sites but does not stimulate tooth movement or root resorption.
