Effects of pre-applied orthodontic force on the regeneration of periodontal tissues in tooth replantation.

- Korean J Orthod 2019;49:299–309

I thank the authors for the interesting article. I would like to ask them the following questions.

Q1. In the study 7-week-old rats were used to investigate effect of pre-applied orthodontic force on the periodontal ligament (PDL) healing after replantation. Can you explain how the PDL healing or gene expression changes according to maturity of the root?

Q2. Also, I would like to ask how the outcomes would be if the orthodontic force is applied after, instead of before, replantation.

Q3. In this study orthodontic force was applied 50 cN. How do you think PDL healing or gene expression might change if you applied orthodontic force more or less than 50 cN?
