Early-stage periodontal ligament compression predicts orthodontically induced root resorption in rats

CONCLUSIONS: A strong correlation between PDL compression ratio and OIRR was observed at an early stage after the application of orthodontic force regardless of the tooth movement type (bodily or tipping), implying the importance of early stage PDL compression in the induction of OIRR.PMID:37963565 | DOI:10.2319/040223-233.1
