The Effects of orthodontic forces during canine retraction using self-ligating brackets on Gingival Crevicular Fluid Enzyme Activity, Canine Movement and Root Resorption

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities were studied as biomarkers of canine movement. Root resorption was also evaluated in canines subjected to the orthodontic forces. Nineteen subjects randomly received 100 and 150 g f...
