난소를 적출한 백서에서 실험적 치아이동 동안 치주와 치조골 조직의 반응에 대한 에스트로젠의 효과를 알아보기 위하여 체중 250mg 내외의 성숙한 백서 80마리를 난소적출한(ON) 군과 난소적출하고 에스트로젠을 투여한(OE) 군, sham operation만 시행한(NN) 군, sham operation을 시행하고 에스트로젠을 투여한(NE) 군으로 각각 분류하여 교정력을 가하였다. OE군과 ON군은 교정력을 가하기 3주전에 난소를 적출하여 에스트로젠 결핍성 골다공증을 유발시켰다. OE군과 NE군에서는 2일에 한번씩 에스트로젠을 50µg/kg BW.씩 복강내에 주사하였다. 치근의 압박측과 인장측의 Howship´s lacuna와 파골세포수를 비교 분석하였고, 치아 이동량을 계측 분석하였으며 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 교정력을 가하기 전 NN군에서 보다 ON군에서 치조골 부위에 더 많은 Howship´s lacuna와 파골세포가 관찰되었다. 2. 교정력을 가한 후 1일에서 15일까지 압박측의 lacuna와 파골세포의 증가 양상은 NN군에서 보다 ON군에서 더 컸으며, ON군의 lacuna수는 OE군보다 교정력을 가하는 전기간 동안 높은 수치를 나타냈다. 3. 인장측의 파골세포수는 ON군에서 3일까지 급격히 증가하고 이후 감소하였으나, 전기간 동안 NN군에 비해 높은 수치를 나타냈다. 4. 치아이동 속도는 NN군, OE군, NE군에서 비슷하였고, ON군에서 7일에서 11일 사이에 다른군에 비해 뚜렷한 증가를 보였다. 5. 교정력 제거 후 7일간 재발을 관찰한 결과 처음 12시간이 가장 큰 재발 이동량을 나타냈으며, 모든 군에서 유사한 양의 재발을 보였다.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of estrogen on the periodontium and alveolar bone tissue response during experimental tooth movement in ovariectomized rats. Eighty female rats, 250gm in body weight, were classified into four groups ; sham operated group(NN), ovariectomized group(ON), ovariectomized & estrogen injected group(OE), sham operated & estrogen injected injected group(NE), Rats were ovariectomized before 3 weeks to begin the experiment, which resulted in estrogen-deficient osteoporosis. In OE group & NE group, estrogen was injected 50µg/kg B.W. every other days. The left maxillary 1st molar was moved mesially with 60g force. Each four rats were sacrificed after 1, 3, 7, 15 days from application of orthodontic appliance and after additional 7 days from removal of orthodontic appliance. Histological findings on mesial roots of upper 1st molar in pressure and tension side are observed. The results were summarized as follows ; 1. In pressure side of alveolar bone, the number of osteoclasts and Howship´s lacuna of ON group was significantly more than that of NN group from 1 day to 15 days(P<0.05). Especially the number of Howship´s lacuna of ON group was significantly more than that of OE group during all experimental period(P<0.05). 2. In tension side of alveolar bone, the number of osteoclasts of ON group was significantly increased from 1 day to 3 days and decreased after 7 days. But the number of osteoclast of ON group was significantly more than that of NN group during all experimental period(P<0.05). Also the number of Howship´s lacuna of all group was abruptly increased at 1 day, but slowly decreased till experimental 15 days. And the number of Howship´s lacuna of ON group was significantly more than that of NN group from 0 hr to 7 days(P<0.05). 3. The speed of tooth movement of OE group & NE group was similar to that of NN group(P>0.05). The amount of tooth movement of ON group between 7 days and 15 days was significantly greater than those of other groups(P<0.05). 4. The degree of relapse of ON group after 7 days from removal of orthodontic appliance was similar to those of other group(P>0.05).
