RESUMO
OBJECTIVES: To assess the influence of estrogen deficiency on tooth eruption rate (TER) and gene expression of estrogen receptor alpha and beta (ERα and ERß) in the odontogenic region of teeth with continuous formation in a rat model. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Ovariectomies (OVX; n = 25) and sham surgeries (SHAM; n = 25) were performed in female Wistar rats when animals were 25 days old. The TER of the lower incisors, both in impeded (hyperfunction condition) and unimpeded (trimmed incisal edge-hypofunction condition) conditions, was evaluated using standardized digital photographs acquired every 48-72 h for 3 weeks (35th-53rd day of life), using a camera coupled to a stereomicroscope. Quantitative real-time PCR was performed to evaluate the relative gene expression of ERα and ERß in the odontogenic region. RESULTS: The OVX group showed a significant reduction in TER when compared to the SHAM group, only in the impeded condition (p = 0.03). There was no statistically significant difference between the groups in ERα gene expression (p = 0.33). ERß showed a significantly higher gene expression in the OVX group (p ≤ 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: Estrogen deficiency decreases TER in teeth under impeded condition. Estrogen deficiency also increases ERß gene expression in the odontogenic region of teeth with continuous formation. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Hormonal disturbances affecting estrogen levels can cause alterations in dental formation and teeth eruption.

During orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), there is the release of cytokines in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) that are supposed to participate in the bone remodeling. This systematic review aimed at assessing the effects of photobiomodulation (PBM) on the levels of these cytokines during OTM. This systematic review according to Cochrane Collaboration guidelines aimed to answer the clinical question following the PICOS strategy. The broad search in the literature was performed before 05 April, 2021 in six electronic databases (Pubmed, Web of Science, Scopus, Embase, Cochrane, Biblioteca Virtual de Saúde) and supplemented by the grey literature. The risk of bias of randomized and non-randomized clinical trials was evaluated by two tools: RoB 2 and ROBINS-I. Mean and standard deviation of cytokine levels was extracted to meta-analysis, and the GRADE system was applied to assess the quality of the evidence. Nine studies were included in this review. Low-level laser therapy (LLLT) was the photobiomodulation type used in most of the studies (n = 8). The wavelengths used varied from 618 to 980 nm and also differed concerning the light emission pattern. LLLT increased the levels of IL-1ß, IL-8, OPN, and PGE2, but not TNF-α1, TGF-ß1. The levels of IL6, RANKL, and OPG presented conflicting results. LLLT was statistically associated with an increase of IL-1ß levels (standard mean difference [SMD] = 1.99; 95% confidence interval = 0.66 to 3.33; p < 0.001) with low certainty of evidence. LLLT may increase the levels of IL-1ß and other cytokines; however, the results should be interpreted with caution due to protocol variations between studies, and the few studies added in the meta-analysis.

Considering that smoking is a public health problem that has been growing among adolescents, the aim of this study was to investigate the impact of cigarette smoke on osteogenic and osteoclastogenic signaling in middle palatal suture of rats. Male Wistar rats exposed (n = 30) or not to cigarette smoke (n = 30) were used. Exposure to smoke was carried out for two daily periods of 3 minutes each, with an interval of 12 hours between exposures. After the experimental periods of 3, 7, 14 and 21 days, the animals were euthanized. The collected tissues were analyzed using light microscopy and real-time RT-PCR was performed to investigate gene expression. The data obtained were compared using the Kruskal Wallis and Dunn tests (⺠= 5%). Morphologically, there were no significant changes in the middle palatal suture of rats exposed or not to cigarette smoke during 3, 7, 14 and 21 days (p> 0.05). On the other hand, osteoclastogenic signaling was increased in animals exposed to smoke and was characterized by a higher production of RANKL at 3 and 14 days (p <0.05), with no change in the synthesis of RANK and osteoprotegerin (p> 0.05). Interestingly, in the exposed animals, an early increase in the synthesis of osteocalcin, bone sialoprotein and osteopontin was also identified at 3 days of exposure (p <0.05), not sustained over time (p> 0.05). Cigarette smoke modulates osteogenic and osteoclastogenic signaling in the middle palatal suture of young rats, although morphological changes have not been evidenced.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of low-level laser therapy (LLLT) and cigarette smoke on alveolar socket osteoclastogenesis signaling after tooth extraction, in rats. Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly assigned to four groups with 15 animals each: Control Group (with right maxillary molar extraction - ME), Experimental I (with ME and LLLT), Experimental II (with ME and cigarette smoke) and Experimental III group (with ME, LLLT and cigarette smoke). Euthanasia was performed at 3, 7 and 14 days postoperative. qRT-PCR was used to evaluate expression of Tnfrsf11a (RANK), Tnfsf11 (Rankl) and Tnfrsf11b (OPG). Data were submitted to statistical analysis using two-way ANOVA followed by Bonferroni test (α=0.05). There was an upregulation of RANK, RANKL and OPG genes over all the time of healing in Exp I group compared to control group. Exp II group showed a decreased expression of all genes over time, whereas Exp III genes expression were higher than Exp II values but lower than Control and Exp I values over time. The results of this study concluded that the LLLT had a positive effect, whereas cigarette smoke had a negative effect on RANK, RANKL and OPG gene expression in bone remodeling process.

Resumo Considerando que a fumaça de cigarro é um problema de saúde pública que está crescendo entre os adolescentes, o objetivo deste estudo foi investigar o impacto da fumaça de cigarro na sinalização osteogênica e osteoclastogênica da sutura palatina mediana de ratos. Foram utilizados ratos Wistar machos expostos (n=30) e não expostos à fumaça de cigarro (n=30). A exposição à fumaça de cigarro foi realizada duas vezes ao dia por 3 minutos, com um intervalo de 12 horas entre as exposições. Os animais foram mortos após o período experimental de 3, 7, 14 e 21 dias. Os tecidos coletados foram analisados em microscópico de luz e pelo RT-PCR em tempo real foi realizado para investigar a expressão gênica. s dados obtidos foram comparados usando o testes de Kruskal Wallis e Dunn (⍺ = 5%). Morfoligicamente, não houve mudança significativa na sutura palatina mediana nos ratos expostos ou não à fumaça de cigarro durante os tempo de 3, 7, 14 e 21 dias (p> 0.05). Por outro lado, a sinalização osteogênica esta aumentada nos animais expostos à fumaça e foi caracterizado por um aumento da produção de RANKL aos 3 e 14 dias (p <0.05), sem mudança na síntese da produção de RANK e osteoprotegerina (p> 0.05). Curiosamente, nos animais expostos, também foi observado um aumento precoce da síntese de osteocalcina, sialoproteína óssea e de osteopontina aos 3 dias de exposição, o que não foi mantido ao longo do tempo. A fumaça de cigarro modula a sinalização osteogênica e osteoclastogênica na sutura palatina mediana de ratos jovens, apesar de não tenha sido evidenciado alterações morfológicas.
