Corticotomy is an effective approach in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in clinical treatment. Corticotomy causes regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP) in the alveolar bone of surgical sites. However, the molecular mechanism of RAP after corticotomy remains unclear. Herein, we established a mouse model to study the biomechanical interfaces of corticotomy-assisted OTM and to investigate the histological responses and underlying cellular mechanism. A total of 144 male C57BL/6 mice were randomly assigned into four groups: corticotomy alone (Corti), sham operation (Sham), corticotomy with tooth movement (Corti + TM), and sham operation with tooth movement (Sham + TM). Nickel–titanium orthodontic springs were applied to trigger tooth movement. Mice were sacrificed on Post-Surgery Day (PSD) 3, 7, 14, 21, and 28 for radiographic, histological, immunohistochemical, and molecular biological analyses. The results reveal that corticotomy significantly promoted alveolar bone turnover and periodontal tissue remodeling. During orthodontic tooth movement, corticotomy significantly promoted osteogenic and proliferative activity, accelerated tooth movement, and eliminated root resorption by upregulating Wnt signal pathway.

Orthodontic tooth movement is achieved by periodontal tissue remodeling triggered by mechanical force. It is essential to investigate the reaction of periodontal ligament stem cells (PDLSCs) for improving orthodontic therapeutic approaches. Autophagy is an endogenous defense mechanism to prevent mechanical damage of environmental change. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are key regulators in gene regulation, but their roles are still largely uncharacterized in the reaction of PDLSCs during orthodontic tooth movement. In this study, we showed that autophagy was significantly induced in PDLSCs under compressive force, as revealed by the markers of autophagy, microtubule-associated protein light chain 3 (LC3) II/I and Beclin1, and the formation of autophagosomes. After the application of compressive force, lncRNA FER1L4 was strongly upregulated. Overexpression of FER1L4 increased the formation of autophagosome and autolysosomes in PDLSCs, while knockdown of FER1L4 reversed the autophagic activity induced by mechanical force. In mechanism, FER1L4 inhibited the phosphorylation of protein kinase B (AKT) and subsequently increased the nuclear translocation of forkhead box O3 (FOXO3) and thus mediated autophagic cascades under compressive strain. In mouse model, the expression of Lc3 as well as Fer1l4 was increased in the pressure side of periodontal ligament during tooth movement. These findings suggest a novel mechanism of autophagy regulation by lncRNA during periodontal tissue remodeling of orthodontic treatment.

ABSTRACT Introduction: The epithelial rests of Malassez (ERM) represent a group of cells in the periodontal ligament classically consisting of latent or quiescent structures associated with pathological processes. However, recent evidence shows that these structures cannot be considered only as cellular debris. The ERM is a major tissue structure, with functions in maintaining the homeostasis of periodontal tissue, including the maintenance of orthodontic movement. Objective: The present literature review aims at presenting the potential functions of ERM, with emphasis on orthodontic movement and the functional structure of the periodontium. Conclusion: ERM cells have a functional activity in modulation of orthodontic movement, trough their potential for differentiation, maintenance functions and the capacity of repairing periodontium.
