Osteocyte regulation of orthodontic force-mediated tooth movement via RANKL expression

Abstract Orthodontic tooth movement is achieved by the remodeling of the alveolar bone surrounding roots of teeth. Upon the application of orthodontic force, osteoclastic bone resorption occurs on the compression side of alveolar bone, towards which the teeth are driven. However, the molecular basis...
