ABSTRACT

Objective To investigate the value of bone mineral density and bone resorption markers around the mini-screw implant in the orthodontic treatment.Methods 178 orthodontic patients were prospectively collected.According to the organization condition around the mini-screw implant loaded,all patients were assigned into stable group (n =160) and loose group (n =18).The levels of interleukin-1 β (IL-1 β) and matrix metalloproteinase-9 of the liquid around the mini-screw implant were detected at 1,2 and 3 months after loading.Moreover,the bone miner al density around the mini-screw implant before and after loading were studied as well.Results Compared with the stable group,the loose groups at 1,2 and 3 months after loading got significantly higher levels of IL-1β [(35.48 ± 4.39)pg/mL vs.(29.48 ±3.92)pg/mL,t =3.348,P =0.004;(41.45 ±5.39)pg/mL vs.(26.29 ±4.12)pg/mL,t =6.493,P =0.000;(54.39 ± 12.82) pg/mL vs.(23.58 ± 3.62) pg/mL,t =11.589,P =0.000].Compared with the stable group,the loose group at 1,2 and 3 months after loading got significantly higher levels of MMP-9[(5.68 ± 3.54) ng/mL vs.(1.74 ± 0.88) ng/mL,t =8.496,P =0.000;(6.84 ± 2.82) ng/mL vs.(1.25 ± 0.62) ng/mL,t =9.835,P =0.000;(9.84 ± 4.39) ng/mL vs.(1.21 ± 0.58) ng/mL,t =12.548,P =0.000].Compared with the sta ble group,the loose group got significantly lower levels of bone mineral density of maxillary bones around the miniscrew implant before and at 3 months after loading[(620.48 ±67.82) HU vs.(694.39 ±84.58)HU,t =2.459,P =0.015;(597.39 ± 58.93) HU vs.(693.59 ± 83.29) HU,t =2.909,P =0.008].Conclusion The decrease of bone mineral density around the mini-screw implant is related to the loosening of the mini-screw implant,and IL-1 β and MMP-9 of the surrounding fluid can reflect the peripheral inflammation.
