Outline of Final Research Achievements

This study was conducted to clarify how the drug for treatment of osteoporosis affects orthodontic tooth movement, root resorption, and alveolar bone in orthodontic patients.
Ten-week-old female Wistar rats were divided into three groups: Control, ovariectomy (OVX), and OVX with ZOL administration (OVX + ZOL) group. Their alveolar bone changes were measured by micro-CT images. Bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content to tissue volume ratio (BMC/TV) were significantly decreased in the OVX group compared to the Control group. Bone mineral content (BMC), bone volume (BV), and tissue volume (TV) were significantly increased in the OVX + ZOL group compared to the Control and OVX groups. Meanwhile 10-week-old female Sprague-Dawley rat were divided into Control and lithium chloride administration groups. Tooth movement and root resorption were significantly decreased by lithium chloride administration.
