Background and objectivesOrthodontic treatment is often accompanied with prescription of softer foods to patients. The question to ask is, is this prescribed load regimen congruent with Wolff's law, and does it provide an adequate mechanical stimulus to maintain the functional health of periodontal complex? This question was answered by studying the effects of mice chewing on soft food (SF) and hard food (HF) while undergoing experimental tooth movement (ETM).MethodsThree‐week‐old C57BL/6 mice (n= 18) were fed either hard pellet (HF;n= 9) or soft‐chow food (SF;n= 9). ETM was performed on mice at 8 weeks of age, and mice were euthanized at 1 min, 2 weeks, and 4 weeks (8, 10, and 12 weeks old, respectively). A logistic regression model was applied to the experimental data to extrapolate the prolonged effects of ETM on the physical features of the dentoalveolar joint (DAJ).ResultsBy 12 weeks, mice that chewed on SF expressed wider periodontal ligament space than those that chewed on HF. Mice that chewed on SF demonstrated increased alveolar socket roughness with larger alveoli and decreased bone volume fraction but with significantly lower bone mineral density and reduced overall tooth movement.ConclusionsThese altered physical features when contextualized within the DAJ illustrated that (a) the regions farther away from the “site of insult” also undergo significant adaptation, and (b) these adaptations vary between mesial and distal sides of the periodontal complex and topographically differentiate in the direction of the ETM. These insights underpin the main conclusion, in that there is a need to “regulate chewing loads” as a therapeutic dose following ETM to encourage regeneration of periodontal complex as an effective clinical outcome. The discussed multiscale image analyses also can be used on patient cone beam computed tomography data to identify the effectiveness of orthodontic treatment within the realm of masticatory function.
