Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the effect of ipriflavone on reconstruction of periodontal tissues during recurrence of orthodontic teeth. METHODS: Twenty-four male SD rats were randomized into 2 groups, ipriflavone group(IP group) and control group, there were 12 rats in each group. The model of recurrence after movement of orthodontic teeth in rats was established. After continuous loading for 10 days, the loading devices were removed. Rats in ipriflavone group (IP group) were given ipriflavone intragastrically for 10 mg/(kg·d) after the devices were removed, while rats in the control group were given an equivalent amount of normal saline after the devices were removed. On the 0th, 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 10th day of administration, the rat maxillary impression and plaster model of two groups were prepared under local anesthesia, the distance between maxillary first molar lingual sulcus point and third molar in lingual groove point was measured to evaluate the relapse distance. After drug infusion for 10 days, the collected tissue specimens were stained with H-E to observe periodontal reconstruction, and expression of bone morphogenetic protein-2(BMP-2) was detected by immunohistochemical staining. Software Image-Pro 6.0 was used to analyze the optical density values of the stained sections. The data were analyzed with SPSS 22.0 software package. RESULTS: After removing the orthopaedic devices for 10 days , there was a significant recurrence of the movement of the orthodontic teeth in both groups. The recurrent distance of IP group was significantly smaller than that of the control group, and still significantly smaller than that of the control group at 10 d. H-E staining and immunohistochemical staining results showed that the IP group had more new bone formation and more BMP-2 expression in the periodontal tissues compared to the control group in vivo. CONCLUSIONS: In the process of recurrence of orthodontic tooth movement, ipriflavone can promote the expression of BMP-2 in periodontal tissue, improve bone remodeling of periodontal tissue, and effectively reduce the recurrent rate of orthodontic tooth movement.
