Stress Distribution and Collagen Remodeling of Periodontal Ligament During Orthodontic Tooth Movement

Stress Distribution and Collagen Remodeling of Periodontal Ligament During Orthodontic Tooth Movement

Periodontal ligament (PDL), as a mechanical connection between the alveolar bone and tooth, plays a pivotal role in force-induced orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). However, how mechanical force controls remodeling of PDL collagenous extracellular matrix (ECM) is largely unknown. Here, we aimed to ev...
