Micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) have been reported to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α has been reported to play a crucial role in OTM. In this report, the influence of MOPs during OTM was analyzed. We evaluated the expression of TNF-α with and without MOPs by RT-PCR analysis. A Ni-Ti closed coil spring was fixed between the maxillary left first molar and the incisors as an OTM mouse model to move the first molar in the mesial direction. MOPs were pre ...[more]
