Evaluation of the effects of photobiomodulation on orthodontic movement of molar verticalization with mini-implant

Abstract

Introduction: Loss of a dental element can generate several repercussions in the stomatognathic system. According to the latest survey by the Ministry of Health, in 2010, Brazilian adults had, on average, 7 missing teeth. This loss may lead to movement of the adjacent teeth and the antagonist, which would make prosthetic rehabilitation harder to do. Anchoring systems, such as mini-implants, have been increasingly used as a treatment option because they act with heavy but controlled forces and without side effects. Recent studies have shown that photobiomodulation (PBM) can accelerate orthodontic movement in molar intrusion. The objective of this study will be to evaluate the effect of PBM on the acceleration of the orthodontic movement of molar verticalization and its effect on pain and inflammation of the periodontal tissues. Patient concerns: the concerns assessments will be done over the study using anamnesis interviews and specific questionnaire. Diagnosis: verticalization will be evaluated by clinical and radiographic analysis. Interventions: Thirty four healthy patients aged 30 to 60 years, who need to recover the prosthetic space for oral rehabilitation after loss of the posterior inferior dental elements and inclination of the adjacent element, will be randomly divided into 2 groups: G1 (control group) - verticalization by mini-implant + PBM simulation (placebo); G2 (experimental group) - verticalization by mini-implant + PBM. The movements will occur with the aid of mini-implants and elastomeric chains ligatures. The PBM will occur with diode laser application, 808 nm, 100 mW, receiving 1J per point, 10 seconds, 10 points (5 per buccal and 5 per lingual) and radiant exposure of 25 J/cm2. The orthodontic forces of verticalization (corresponding to any exchange of elastomeric ligation) will be applied every 30 days and the PBM will be applied immediately, 3 and 7 days of each month, for a period of 3 months. The crevicular gingival fluid (CGF) will be collected on the 1st, 3rd, and 7th days after the first activation, and then on the 3rd day of the following 2 months. Outcomes: Interleukins IL1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, and TNF-α will be analyzed by ELISA. Panoramic radiography will be performed at baseline and 90 afterwards to ascertain the amount (in degrees) of verticalization. To evaluate the pain, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) will be used in all the consultations, and to evaluate the quality of life, the Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) questionnaire will be applied. Analgesics will be given and the quantity of drugs will be counted. If the data are normal, they will be submitted to Student t test. The data will be presented as means ± SD and the value of p will be defined as <0.05.Discussion: This protocol will determine the effectiveness of photobiomoduation regarding the orthodontic movement of molar verticalization. Ethics and dissemination: This protocol received approval from the Human Research Ethics Committee of Universidade Nove de Julho (certificate number: 3 533 219). The data will be published in a peer-reviewed periodical.

The Effects of Mineral Trioxide Aggregate and Second-Generation Autologous Growth Factor on Pulpotomy

“…In current studies, although the effects of CGF on tissue regeneration are available, the information about its effect on tissue damage mechanisms is not clear. In addition, studies conducted today have reported that CGF suppresses TNF-α and NF-kB/p65 expressions [30]. Similarly, Xu et al…”

Evaluation of the Clinical Efficacy of Orthodontic Retention of Third Molars After Extraction of First or Second Molars

“…3.3 Improve occlusal stability: after the first molar loss, if no intervention is applied, the adjacent teeth will tilt to the missing side and the elongation of the jaw teeth will occur [6], Affect the occlusal relationship, and then affect the masticatory function of the missing tooth side. The nearmiddle movement of the second molar can fill the loss after the first molar extraction, improve occlusal stability, and reduce the impact of masticatory and occlusal function.…”

Terapias no quirúrgicas que aceleran el movimiento ortodontico en humanos. Revisión de literatura.

“…En concordancia, evidencia baja y con cierto sesgo indica que la irradiación de LLLT de onda de 780nm, la fluencia de 5 J/cm2 y/o la potencia de salida de 20 mW podría acelerar el MOT en 2 y 3 meses según un metaanálisis (Long et al, 2015) Agregando a lo anterior, la PBM también tiene efectos, antiinflamatorios y analgésicos, en tal sentido, esta terapia ayudaría a que el movimiento dentario se presente con menos dolor y menor producción de citocinas inflamatorias, lo que indicaría una modulación a la respuesta inflamatoria y por consecuente se acelera el MOD, por tla motivo, ha recibido gran atención en ortodoncia. (Malaquias et al, 2020) El modo de actuar del láser de diodo se basa en dos determinantes; el tipo de absorción (intermedia) y la longitud de onda responsable de la profundidad de penetración (relacionada inversamente). (Yavagal et al, 2021) Este aumento en la producción de ATP puede acelerar la remodelación ósea al estimular la actividad metabólica.…”
