[Histochemical observations on enzyme activity of the dental pulp following the orthodontic therapy]
1Stomatologische Klinik der Medizinischen Fakultät der Masaryk Universität Brno.
Abstract:
The authors studied distribution of alkaline and acid phosphatases, non specific esterase and NADH2 tetrazolium reductase in the dental pulp of children treated by fix orthodontic appliances. All the enzymes studied exhibited positive reaction, the activity, however, was lower than in the controls, except of the alkaline phosphatase. The results of the study demonstrated that the forces between 60-200 g cannot be evaluated as biologically favorable.
