RESUMO
INTRODUCTION: Drugs that block the renin-angiotensin system (RAS) are widely used for treating hypertension, heart and kidney failure, and the harmful effects of diabetes. Components of the RAS have been identified in various organs, but little is known of their effects on bone remodeling. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the blockage of the RAS influences strain-induced bone remodeling in a model of orthodontic tooth movement. METHODS: An orthodontic appliance was placed in C57BL6/J mice that were randomly divided into 2 groups: vehicle-treated mice (VH) and mice treated with losartan (an angiotensin II receptor blocker). Orthodontic tooth movement and the number of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive cells were determined by histopathologic analysis. The expression of mediators involved in bone remodeling was evaluated by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. Blood pressure was measured before and during the experimental period. RESULTS: Orthodontic tooth movement and tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive cells were significantly reduced in the losartan group compared with the VH group. mRNA levels of osteoclast markers (RANK, RANKL, cathepsin K, and metalloproteinase 13) were lower in the losartan mice than in the VH group, whereas the expressions of osteoblast markers and negative regulators of bone resorption (periostin, dentin matrix protein, alkaline phosphatase, collagen 1A1, semaphorin 3A3, metalloproteinase 2, and osteoprotegerin) were higher in the VH group. CONCLUSIONS: Blockage of the RAS system decreases osteoclast differentiation and activity and, consequently, results in decreased strain-induced bone remodeling in orthodontic tooth movement.

INTRODUCTION: Superposing 3D models is an imminent need. However, current methods rely on marking multiple points on the maxilla and mandible, which could increase point marking and overlapping errors. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at developing a method for superimposing 3D models of the maxillary and mandibular arches with Autodesk Inventor® engineering software, using a single universal coordinate system (UCS) point superposition. METHODS: A total of 104 STL (stereolithography) models of the maxillary and mandibular arches exported from My iTero® platform were retrospectively selected, in which T0 and T1 were the initial and refinement periods, respectively (n=26 per group). The X, Y, and Z coordinates associated with a single point in each arch were inserted into the models with SlicerCMF® software for model orientation. The arch models with UCS registration were transferred to Autodesk Inventor® for superimposition and to measure tooth movements performed during Invisalign® treatment. Arch expansion, intrusion and rotation were analyzed by two examiners. The statistics were performed using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC), Dahlberg's formula, and t-test (p<0.05). RESULTS: A reliable method of superimposing 3D digital models using a single UCS point in the maxilla and mandible was developed. ICC showed excellent intra- and inter-examiner correlation (ICC>0.90). A systematic error was not found concerning linear and angular measurements (<1mm and <1.5°, respectively). Digital dental movements could be analyzed, including arch expansion, dental intrusion, and tooth rotation. CONCLUSIONS: The developed method was proven reliable and reproducible for superimposing 3D models of the maxillary and mandibular arches by using UCS system.

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to identify possible risk factors for external apical root resorption (EARR) in the maxillary incisors after orthodontic treatment. METHODS: The root length of 2,173 maxillary incisors was measured on periapical radiographs of 564 patients who received orthodontic treatment. The Kappa test was performed to evaluate intraexaminer and interexaminer reproducibility. Multiple binary logistic regression was used to determine the association between EARR and various factors. Odds ratios and 95% confidence intervals were reported. RESULTS: The risk of developing EARR was 70% higher in orthodontic treatment with maxillary premolar extraction (p = 0.004), 58% higher in patients with increased overjet (p = 0.012), 41% lower in two-phase orthodontic treatment (p = 0.037), and 33% lower in patients with deep bite (p = 0.039). The lateral incisors were 54% more likely to develop EARR (p < 0.001), dilacerated roots were 2.26 times more likely to develop EARR (p < 0.001), and for each additional millimeter of root length, the risk of EARR increased by 29% (p < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: The potential risk factors for EARR after orthodontic treatment included treatment with maxillary premolar extraction, increased overjet at the beginning of treatment, and dilacerated roots.
RESUMO
The consumption of different types of diets influences not only body health but the bone remodeling process as well. Nutritional components can directly affect maxillary and mandibular alveolar bone microarchitecture. In this review, we focus on the current knowledge regarding the influence of diets and dietary supplementation on alveolar bone. Accumulating evidence from experimental models suggests that carbohydrate- and fat-rich diets are detrimental for alveolar bone, whereas protective effects are associated with consumption of calcium, ω-3, and bioactive compounds. Little is known about the effects of protein-free and protein-rich diets, boron, vitamin C, vitamin E, zinc, and caffeine on alveolar bone remodeling. Adipokines and direct effects of nutritional components on bone cells are proposed mechanisms linking diet and bone. Results from animal models substantiate the role of nutritional components on alveolar bone. It is a well-built starting point for clinical studies on nutritional monitoring and intervention for patients with alveolar bone disorders, especially those who are treatment refractory.

A high-fat (HF) diet leads to detrimental effects on alveolar bone (AB); however, the mechanisms linking adiposity to bone loss are poorly understood. This study investigated if AB resorption induced by an HF diet is associated with the regulation of inflammatory gene expression and if adipocytes can directly interfere with osteoclastogenesis. We also evaluated the effects of diet restriction (DR) on bone phenotype. C57BL6/J mice were fed normal chow or an HF diet for 12 weeks. Samples of maxillae, femur, blood and white adipose tissue were analyzed. In vitro co-culture of bone marrow-derived osteoclasts and mature adipocytes was carried out. The results revealed an increased number of osteoclasts and fewer osteoblasts in animals fed the HF diet, which led to the disruption of trabecular bone and horizontal AB loss. Similar effects were observed in the femur. The metabolic parameters and the deleterious effects of the HF diet on AB and the femur were reversed after DR. The HF diet modulated the expression of 30 inflammatory genes in AB such as Fam3c, InhBa, Tnfs11, Ackr2, Pxmp2 and Chil3, which are related to the inflammatory response and bone remodeling. In vitro, mature adipocytes produced increased levels of adipokines, and co-culture with osteoclasts resulted in augmented osteoclastogenesis. The results indicate that the mechanisms by which an HF diet affects bone involve induction of osteoclastogenesis and inflammatory gene expression. Adipokines apparently are key molecules in this process. Strategies to control diet-induced bone loss might be beneficial in patients with preexisting bone inflammatory conditions.

RESUMO Introdução: A sobreposição de modelos 3D é uma necessidade iminente. No entanto, os métodos atuais dependem da marcação de múltiplos pontos na maxila e na mandíbula, o que pode aumentar a incorporação de erros no processo de sobreposição. Objetivo: O objetivo desse estudo foi desenvolver um método para sobrepor modelos 3D das arcadas superior e inferior utilizando o software de engenharia Autodesk Inventor®, por meio da marcação de um único ponto em cada arcada, usando o sistema de coordenadas universal (UCS). Métodos: No total, 104 modelos STL das arcadas superior e inferior exportados da plataforma My iTero® foram selecionados retrospectivamente, onde T0 foi o período inicial e T1, o de refinamento (n=26 por grupo). As coordenadas X, Y e Z associadas a um único ponto em cada arcada foram inseridas nos modelos usando o software SlicerCMF®. Os modelos com os pontos UCS demarcados foram transferidos para o software Autodesk Inventor® para realizar a sobreposição e medir os movimentos dentários realizados durante o tratamento com Invisalign®. Os movimentos de expansão, intrusão e rotação foram analisados por dois examinadores. A análise estatística foi realizada usando os coeficientes de correlação intra-classe (ICC), fórmula de Dahlberg e teste t (p<0,05). Resultados: Foi desenvolvido um método confiável de sobreposição de modelos digitais 3D usando um único ponto UCS na maxila e mandíbula. O ICC apresentou excelente correlação intra e inter-avaliadores (ICC>0,90). Não foi encontrado erro sistemático nas medidas lineares e angulares (<1mm e <1,5°, respectivamente). Os movimentos dentários puderam ser analisados por meio do método proposto, incluindo expansão da arcada, intrusão e rotação dentária. Conclusão: O método desenvolvido provou ser confiável e reprodutível para sobreposição de modelos 3D das arcadas superior e inferior usando o sistema UCS com marcação de ponto único.
RESUMO
AIMS: The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of probiotic (Bacillus Subtilis) supplementation on bone remodelling induced by mechanical loading. METHODS: C57BL/6 mice were divided in two groups: (1) Probiotic and (2) Vehicle (water). The probiotic (1.5×108CFU/mL) was administered orally for 14 days, starting two days before the induction of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). OTM was determined by histomorphometric analysis by comparing the right to the left side of the maxilla. The number of osteoclasts was determined by counting TRAP-positive cells. Osteoblasts were counted on Masson's trichrome-stained slides. RESULTS: OTM was similar between groups (with and without probiotic supplementation) (p=0.46). The number of TRAP-positive cells increased (p<0.01) on the experimental side (where the spring coil was installed) in comparison to the control side in both groups. However, the number of osteoclasts decreased (pË0.01) in the probiotic group, in comparison to the vehicle group. There was an increase in the number of osteoblasts (pË0.05) in both the Vehicle and Probiotic groups on the side under OTM, independent of probiotic supplementation. CONCLUSION: Oral Supplementation with a probiotic influenced the number of osteoclasts adjacent to the tooth root during orthodontic movement in mice.
