What is Biomarkers in Orthodontic Tooth Movement about?

This study investigates the enzyme activity profiles of biomarkers in human saliva and gingival crevicular fluid during orthodontic tooth movement using self-ligating brackets. Significant differences in enzyme levels were observed over five weeks, indicating that AST, TRAP, and ALP in saliva, along with LDH, AST, and TRAP in GCF, may serve as potential biomarkers for monitoring tooth movement. The findings suggest that a force of 100 g is preferable for patient comfort during orthodontic treatment.
