Mechanical force increases tooth movement and promotes remodeling of alveolar bone defects augmented with bovine bone mineral

ConclusionThis study explored the mechanisms of mechanical force-induced alveolar bone remodeling with bovine bone mineral grafts during OTM. The results might provide molecular insights into the related clinical problems of whether we can move teeth into the grafted materials; and how these materials become biologically remodeled and degraded under mechanical force.
