Introduction Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) such as fluoxetine adversely
affect bone mineral density (BMD) and turnover, thereby increasing the risk of fractures. The …

Objective: To compare the histological responses in corticotomy-and corticision-assisted
tooth movement. Materials and Methods: Ninety Wistar rats were divided into three groups …

Introduction The statin class of drugs enhances osteogenesis and suppresses bone
resorption, which could be a plausible biologic mechanism for mitigation of orthodontic …

Bone remodeling and orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) are controlled by certain essential
molecules, one of which is vitamin D. Increased levels of vitamin D have been associated …

Introduction This study was performed to evaluate the effect of isotretinoin on tooth
displacement and tissues related to induced tooth movement (ITM) in rats. Methods Wistar …

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of chronic use of fluoxetine on the amount of
orthodontic tooth movement and tissue changes in rats. A total of 192 Wistar rats were …

Objective Isotretinoin, also known as 13-cis-retinoic acid, is an isomer of tretinoin, the
