Comparison of tumor necrosis Factor-α concentrations in gingival crevicular fluid between self-ligating and preadjusted edgewise appliances in the early leveling stage of orthodontic treatment

Comparison of tumor necrosis Factor-α concentrations in gingival crevicular fluid between self-ligating and preadjusted edgewise appliances in the early leveling stage of orthodontic treatment

Introduction: Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) is an important proinflammatory cytokine that regulates the early phase of inflammation reaction during orthodontic tooth movement. The aim of the present study was to compare TNF-α concentrations in the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) between preadjuste...
