Abstract
Appropriate tooth mobility establishes the optimum orthodontic treatment plan. The biological response that occurs when teeth are subjected to a mechanical stimulus is called the Orthodontic Tooth Movement (OTM). This kind of movement is mostly brought about by the consistent application of controlled mechanical stress to a single tooth or to a group of teeth. This process eventually causes the socket to remodel by creating pressure and tension zones in the PDL and alveolar bone.
Medication that modifies or interferes with the inflammatory process can have a significant effect on the mobility of the tooth. Numerous research have looked at the impact of both short- and long-term drug administration on OTM. In their research, Davidovitch et al. and Yamasaki et al. deduced that the local or systemic administration of specific medications affects the rate of OTM. A drug is any single active ingredient in a medication intended for use in the diagnosis, treatment, prevention, or curing of a disease. A drug is any chemical or product that seeks to alter or investigate physiological systems or pathological conditions for the benefit of the user, according to WHO (1966)1.
