The effect of hyperbaric oxygen in increasing the amount of osteoblast cells on remodeling process during tooth movement on male adult Cavia cobaya
Background: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy is a treatment method by using pure oxygen.Purpose: To determine the effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) in increase of osteoblastic activity on bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. Methods: Twenty-eight male, adult Cavia cobaya were randomly divided into two groups. HBO was administered in the first group, and the second group served as a control. The maxillary incisors were moved distally by means of elastic separator in all groups. Results: Results were evaluated histopathologyanatomy revealed in increase the osteoblastic activity of HBO. HBO application caused an increase of osteoblastic activity. Conclusion: HBO enhanced the the osteoblastic activity during experimental tooth movement. Therefore, the findings of this study support our hypothesis that osteoblastic activity might be modulated by changes in the environmental oxygen tension
