Orthodontic Root Resorption in Spontaneously Hypertensive Rats: Modulation by β2-Adrenergic Receptor Blockade
Background/Objectives: Hypertension is associated with abnormal bone metabolism and enhanced bone resorption, and altered sympathetic/adrenergic signaling has been proposed as one contributing mechanism. Orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIRR) involves periodontal ligament inflammation, odontoclast...
