Abstract
Objective

To examine the reliability of bite force for evaluating orthodontic tooth movement-induced pain in rats.

Design

Orthodontic tooth movement-induced pain was induced by mounting springs (40 g) between incisors and ipsilateral molars in male Sprague-Dawley rats. Five group sets of animals were used: for the first group set, 20 rats were randomly divided into a force group (n = 10) and a sham group (n = 10); for the second group set, 20 rats were divided into a 20-g group and a 80-g group; for the third group set, 20 rats were randomly divided into either a CFA group (complete freund's adjuvant) (n = 10) receiving periodontal injections of CFA at baseline or a control group (n = 10) receiving periodontal injections of saline at baseline; for the forth group set, 24 rats were randomly divided into the following four groups: force + saline, control + saline, force + antiNGF and control + NGF (NGF: nerve growth factor). Rats in the fifth group set were used for immunostaining against CGRP. Bite force and bite frequency were measured at baseline (day 0) and following interventions (day 1, day 3, day 5, day 7 and day 14). Two-way ANOVA with repeated measures was used for statistical analysis and a p value less than 0.05 was considered statistical significance.

Results

Our results revealed that bite force was significantly smaller in the force group than in the sham group at all time points (p < .001). As compared to the control group, periodontal injections of CFA significantly decreased bite force on the 3rd day (p < .01). Moreover, bite force was significantly higher in the force + antiNGF group than in the force + saline group (p = .01 < .05) while significantly smaller in the control + NGF group than in the control + saline group (p < .05). Bite force was similar between the force + antiNGF group and the control + saline group (p = .71 > .05) and between the control + NGF group and the force + saline group (p = .58 > .05). Similar results were found for bite frequency.

Conclusion

Bite force, an indicator of mechanical hyperalgesia, is a viable and reliable index for evaluating orthodontic tooth movement-induced pain.
