The effect of prostaglandins on experimental tooth movement in monkeys (Macaca fuscata)

K Yamasaki et al. J Dent Res. 1982 Dec.

Abstract

Local administrations of prostaglandins E1 or E2 combined with orthodontic tooth movement can approximately double the rate of tooth movement in monkeys compared to that of the control. Macroscopically, no side-effect was observed in the gingiva and associated structures.
