Summary |
Purpose |
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the effect of the carbamazepine and valproic acid on orthodontic tooth movement in male Wistar rats.
Methods |
Evaluation of tooth movement after 21 days of drugs infusion was carried out by feeler gauge. Bone densitometry on lateral cephalograms was conducted on days 1 and 21. After dissection of the maxillae, histologic parameters were evaluated.
Results |
Orthodontic tooth movement was accelerated in experimental groups rather than controls. Optical density was significantly increased in these groups. In histologic sections, mesioapical portion of the PDL (Periodontal Ligament) was wider in experimental groups. Also, distoapical portion of the PDL was wider only in valproic acid group.
Conclusion |
Valproic acid and carbamazepine can decrease the bone density which may induce the accelerated orthodontic tooth movement in rats.
