The purpose of this study was to identify and quantify transforming growth factor-beta 1 (TGF-beta 1) in human gingival crevicular fluid, and to investigate changes during orthodontic tooth movement. Twelve patients (mean age, 14.4 yr) participated. An upper canine of each patient having one treatment for distal movement served as the experimental tooth; the contralateral and antagonistic canines were used as controls. The gingival crevicular fluid around the experimental and two control teeth was taken from each participant immediately before activation, and at 1, 24 and 168 h after the initiation of tooth movement. TGF-beta 1 was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. The concentration of TGF-beta 1 was significantly higher in the experimental group than in the controls at 24 h after the experiment had begun, whereas TGF-beta 1 remained at baseline throughout the experiment for the two control groups. The presence of TGF-beta 1 in the gingival crevicular fluid was also identified by Western blot analysis. These results suggest that TGF-beta 1 is associated with the bone remodelling that occurs during orthodontic tooth movement.

D003481 Cuspid The third tooth to the left and to the right of the midline of either jaw, situated between the second INCISOR and the premolar teeth (BICUSPID). (Jablonski, Dictionary of Dentistry, 1992, p817) Canine Tooth,Canine Teeth,Cuspids,Teeth, Canine,Tooth, Canine
D004797 Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay An immunoassay utilizing an antibody labeled with an enzyme marker such as horseradish peroxidase. While either the enzyme or the antibody is bound to an immunosorbent substrate, they both retain their biologic activity; the change in enzyme activity as a result of the enzyme-antibody-antigen reaction is proportional to the concentration of the antigen and can be measured spectrophotometrically or with the naked eye. Many variations of the method have been developed.

D005883 Gingival Crevicular Fluid A fluid occurring in minute amounts in the gingival crevice, believed by some authorities to be an inflammatory exudate and by others to cleanse material from the crevice, containing sticky plasma proteins which improve adhesions of the epithelial attachment, have antimicrobial properties, and exert antibody activity.
