Interleukin 1β, 6 and 8 levels around miniscrews during orthodontic tooth movement / 实用口腔医学杂志

40 patients,20 males and 20 females,with 52 miniscrews were included.The concentration of IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-8 in the gingival crevicular fluid around the miniscrews were measured.The results showed that the concentrations of IL-1β,IL-6 and IL-8 increased during orthodintic tooth movement(P ＜0.05),indicating that orthodontic force had an effect on the cytokines around the miniscrews,which may be related to orthodontic bone resorption.
