The panoramic radiographs and lateral view of the skull before and after treatment were examined. The root resorption and the effect of correcting deep overbite were compared. The influence factors of root resorption of central incisors were analyzed. Results: The difference of root resorption between two groups was statistically significant by Mann-Whitney U-test (Z=-2.694, P=0.07), while more overbite correction was observed in the fixed appliance group than the clear aligner group by two independent sample t-test (P=0.027). In addition, changes in the inclination of central incisor and maxilla-mandibular position significantly affected root resorption of central incisors by multivariate logistic regression analysis (P<0.07). Conclusion: Fixed appliance treatment leads to heavier root resorption in the central incisor, which might relate to its better correction of deep overbite and its application of continuous force.

Methods: SD rats were randomly divided into control group, model group, rhTGF-β1 low dose group, rhTGF-β1 medium dose group, and rhTGF-β1 high dose group. Orthodontic tooth movement models of rats were established in model group, and rhTGF-β1 low, medium, and high dose groups. Each group was given drugs from the first day of modeling, the rhTGF-β1 (low, medium, and high) dose groups were injected with 0.1 mL of 1.25, 2.5, and 5 ng/mL rhTGF-β1 solution under the mesial gingival mucosa of bilateral maxillary first molars, respectively, and the control group was injected with 0.1 mL normal saline, once every 2 days for 14 days. The movement distance of the rat maxillary first molar was measured. The pathological morphology of periodontal and alveolar bone were observed in rats. The serum levels of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-6 (IL-6), osteoprotegerin (OPG), and receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL) were detected. The expressions of osteogenic related proteins [osteocalcin (OCN), osteopontin (OPN), runt related transcription factor 2 (Runx2)], and ERK/MAPK pathway related proteins in rat periodontal and alveolar bone tissues were detected by Western blot. Results: Compared with those in the control group, the tensile fiber of periodontal tissue in the tension side of rat teeth in the model group was elongated, the tissue gap was widened, the matrix was proliferated, and the number osteoblasts decreased and almost disappeared, showing pathological damage, the movement distance of the maxillary first molar, serum TNF-α, IL-6, RANKL, p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2, and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK protein expression levels in periodontal and alveolar bone tissues were significantly increased, and serum OPG, expression levels of OCN, OPN, and Runx2 protein in periodontal and alveolar bone tissues were significantly decreased (P<0.05). Compared with those in the model group, the pathological damage of periodontal and alveolar bone in the tension side of rats teeth in the rhTGF-β1 low, medium, and high dose groups was gradually reduced, serum TNF-α, IL-6, RANKL, p-ERK1/2/ERK1/2, and p-p38 MAPK/p38 MAPK protein expression levels in periodontal and alveolar bone tissues were decreased in turn, the movement distance of the maxillary first molar, serum OPG, expression levels of OCN, OPN, and Runx2 protein in periodontal and alveolar bone tissues were significantly increased in turn (P<0.05), there was a dose-dependent relationship between the groups. Conclusion: rhTGF-β1 can reduce the inflammatory reaction of rat orthodontic tooth movement model, promote osteogenic differentiation, and accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, which may be related to inhibiting the activation of ERK/MAPK signal pathway.

Linear Correlation Between Retraction of Incisors and Soft Tissue Profile Changes in Patients with Bimaxillary Protrusion after Treatment LI Ziwei, FU Yu, SHI Hang, ZHAO Menghan, LIU Yuyan, WANG Yang, SHI Ruixin 2023, 39(2): 129-134.  DOI: 10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2023.02.008 Abstract ( 157 )   PDF (1612KB) ( 231 )   Objective: To study the effect of anterior tooth retraction on soft tissue profile of patients with bimaxillary protrusion and to obtain an accurate linear regression model. Methods: Forty-eight patients extracted four premolars who attended the orthodontic department of Jilin University Stomatology Hospital from February 2012 to April 2019 were selected. The coordinate axes were established, the horizontal reference plane was registered on sella (S) and oriented 7° inferior to the sellanasion (S-N) line as the X-axis, and the perpendicular line through S as the Y-axis (positive values were taken on the right side of the Y-axis and below the X-axis). Cephalometric parameters of related soft and hard tissues were measured and multiple stepwise regression analysis was performed to obtain an accurate linear relationship model between the changes of soft and hard tissues. Results: At the end of the orthodontic treatment, the differences between the upper and lower lips and the nasolabial angle were statistically significant before and after the orthodontic treatment, while the differences between the chinlabial angle before and after the orthodontic treatment were not statistically significant. The sagittal changes of the pogonion of soft tissue, gnathion of soft tissue and menton of soft tissue were all weakly negatively correlated with the occlusal plane angle, the sagittal changes of the pogonion of soft tissue and gnathion of soft tissue were all moderately negatively correlated with the MP-SN angle, the sagittal changes of the menton of soft tissue was negatively correlated with the MP-SN angle. Multivariate stepwise regression analysis: retraction of upper incisor incisal had the greatest effect on both upper lip (Beta=0.509) and lower lip (Beta=0.635) recovery, and the ratio of between the retraction of upper incisor incisal and upper lip was about 2.2∶1.The vertical change of the incisor of the lower incisor had the greatest effect on the vertical change of the upper lip (Beta=0.367) and the lower lip (Beta=0.567). The reduction of the mandibular plane angle caused an anterior shift of the chin soft tissue. Conclusion: Extraction can effectively improve the convex facial profile. In contrast to the lower incisors, the retraction of the upper incisors has the greatest effect on the changes of the lower lip, and the change of the incisal of the upper incisors is the key to the change of the soft tissue of the lip. The reverse rotation of the mandibular plane can mask the underdevelopment of the chin, but extraction alone does not significantly affect the change of the chin.

Methods: Sixty male SD rats aged 6-8 weeks were randomly divided into group A (control group), group B (force group), and group C (force + inhibitor group), which were further divided into five subgroups according to 1, 3, 5, 7, and 14 days. The teeth movement model was constructed in group B and group C, and Piezo1 inhibitor was locally injected into group C. The rats were sacrificed at the specified time point and the tooth movement distance was measured. HE staining was used to observe the morphological changes of periodontal tissue on the pressure side, and immunohistochemical staining was used to observe the expression of Piezo1, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17 in the periodontal tissue on the pressure side. Results: The displacement distances of teeth in group B and group C increased with time, and the morphological changes of periodontal tissue were obvious. The expressions of Piezo1, IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17 in group B were significantly higher than those in group A (P<0.05). No significant difference was found between group C and group B except Piezo1 (P>0.05). The expression levels of IL-1β, IL-6, and IL-17 were lower at day 3, 5, and 7 (P<0.05), but still higher than those of group A (P<0.05). Conclusion: Piezo1 is involved in the movement of orthodontic teeth, which affects the expression of inflammatory factors and participates in the reconstruction of periodontal tissue of pressure side during orthodontic tooth movement.

Methods: From January 2018 to June 2020, 78 patients who received single posterior implantation in the Implant Center of Taiyuan Hamony Long Stomatological Hospital were selected. A total of 96 platform-switching implants were implanted. They were divided into two groups according to the thickness of mucosa: thin gingiva group (< 3 mm) and thick gingiva group (≥ 3 mm). Forty-six implants in thin gingiva group were implanted 1.5 mm below the bone level, 50 implants in the thick gingival group were implanted aligning with the bone level. Digital periapical films were taken immediately after implantation and 6 months and 12 months after prostheses delivered. The changes of bone level in the two groups were measured, respectively. Results: There was no significant difference in bone resorption between thin gingiva group and thick gingiva group 6 and 12 months after prostheses delivered (P>0.05). There was no thread exposure in thin gingiva group. Conclusion: The bone level of the implant can be maintained by placing the platform-switching implants into a suitable position under the bone level so as to make up for the lack of soft tissue thickness.

Methods: Forty mandibular permanent premolars with single root canal were collected and randomly divided into four experimental groups (n=8) and two control groups (n=4) after root canal preparation. Group A was orthograde filled with MTA. Group B was orthograde filled with iRoot BP Plus. Group C was retrograde filled with MTA. Group D was retrograde filled with iRoot BP Plus. Group M was the positive control group. Group N was the negative control group. Indian ink staining technique and transparent tooth technique were used to evaluate the root canal sealing effect of two materials under two different conditions, i.e. root canal orthograde filling and retrograde root canal filling. Results: Different degrees of dye infiltration could be seen in each experimental group, and the microleakage in group A and B was slightly higher than that in group C and D, but there was no significant difference in apical leakage among different groups(P>0.05). Conclusion: MTA and iRoot BP Plus can achieve the same apical sealing effect under two different filling conditions. For some special apical lesions and difficulty in hemostasis, apical resection after MTA or iRoot BP Plus orthograde root canal filling can be chosen as an effective alternative.
