Abstract excerpt
OBJECTIVES: To investigate genetic, biologic, and mechanical factors that affect speed of human tooth movement. Setting and Sample Population - Sixty-six maxillary canines in 33 subjects were translated distally for 84 days. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Distal compressive stresses of 4, 13, 26, 52, or 78 kPa were applied to maxillary canines via segmental mechanics. Dental casts and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)...
