ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To explore certain principle of how osteoprotegerin (OPG) and osteoprotegerin ligand (OPGL) take part in the periodontal tissues remodeling under the combined influence of inflammation and orthodontic force.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The positive signals of OPG and OPGL mRNA were measured with in situ hybridzation after orthodontic tooth movement in the experimental periodontitis groups and control ones.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The OPG and OPGL mRNA expression intensity in the experimental group showed difference from control. All their optical density index reached a peak in day 2, respectively.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>OPG and OPGL play important roles in the periodontal reconstruction induced by inflammation irritation and orthodontic force, and complex interaction could exist between the two factors.</p>
