[Tissue reactions induced by provoked tooth displacement in experimental periodontal lysis]

A dental appliance with a spring used to induce a mesial movement of the lower molars was placed in the mouth of two groups of golden hamsters, one control and the other submitted to the hyperglucidic diet of Keyes and Jordan. The analysis and histological comparison of the tissue reactions showed important differences in both groups. The alveolar wall remodeling in the experimental group was inhibited as well as the resorption of the hyaline zones.
