Objective: The aims of this study were to compare the amount of tooth movement after multiple-horizontal and single-vertical microosteoperforation (MOP), and to evaluate the histological changes after orthodontic force application in rabbits.
Materials and Methods: Mandibles of 24 white rabbits have received two experimental interventions: a multiple-horizontal (MH) and a single-vertical (SV) MOP. Defect volume of MOP between two groups was controlled similarly. A hundred cN force was applied via coil spring between the incisor teeth to the first premolars. The amount of tooth movement was measured. Differences in amount of tooth movement and bone variables according to the three time points and the two groups were evaluated using repeated measures ANOVA.
Results: The first premolar showed 1.47 mm of mesial movement in the MH group and 1.84 mm in the SV group, which showed significant difference at week 3 (P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in bone volume and bone fraction between the groups. TRAP-positive cell count was significantly greater at week 3 in both the SV and MH groups compared to week 1.
Conclusions: The amount of tooth movement showed significant difference between the 1st and 3rd weeks for the SV and MH MOP groups, but not between the two groups. Therefore, SV MOP could be considered an effective tool for enhancing tooth movement, especially for molar distalization, uprighting, and protraction to an edentulous area.
