Tooth Migration

The movement of teeth into altered positions in relationship to the basal bone of the ALVEOLAR PROCESS and to adjoining and opposing teeth as a result of loss of approximating or opposing teeth, occlusal interferences, habits, inflammatory and dystrophic disease of the attaching and supporting structures of the teeth.

Drugs and Biologics

Drugs and Important Biological Agents (IBA) related to Tooth Migration:

1.	SolutionsIBA 03/01/2014 - "The outcome of the study showed that an interdisciplinary approach is a simple solution for complex clinical problems arising as a sequel to periodontitis, such as pathological tooth migration, restoring function, esthetics and periodontal health."
2.	OsteopontinIBA 12/01/2010 - "Osteopontin is required for unloading-induced osteoclast recruitment and modulation of RANKL expression during tooth drift-associated bone remodeling, but not for super-eruption."
3.	Bone SubstitutesIBA 10/01/2006 - "Use of a synthetic bone substitute to retard molariform tooth drift after maxillary tooth loss in ponies."
4.	Durapatite (Hydroxylapatite)IBA 08/01/1991 - "[Physiological tooth migration in hydroxyapatite grafts with bony regeneration. "
5.	Cyclosporine (Ciclosporin)FDA LinkGeneric 12/01/1997 - "Gingival overgrowth and dental alveolar alterations: possible mechanisms of cyclosporin-induced tooth migration. "
6.	Guanosine Diphosphate (GDP)IBA 05/01/2016 - "There was a significant difference in opinions of SP, GDP, and RES, in relation to the effect of SDA on esthetics (P = 0.039), tooth-wear (P < 0.001), TMD (P < 0.001), and tooth migration (P = 0.002). "
7.	Essential Fatty AcidsIBA 07/01/2005 - "Herein we studied the adaptation of alveolar bone to physiologic tooth drift in young rats deprived of essential fatty acids from birth. "
8.	Fatty Acids (Saturated Fatty Acids)IBA 07/01/2005 - "Effects of essential fatty acid deficiency on periodontal tissue adaptation to spontaneous tooth migration."
9.	Estrogens (Estrogen)FDA Link 12/01/2009 - "Estrogen withdrawal causes marked bone loss in the appendicular skeleton but slightly affects mandibular cancellous bone; in contrast, little is known of its effects on alveolar wall turnover associated with tooth drift. "
10.	ElementsIBA 07/01/2020 - "Rat molars undergo a physiological tooth drift distally, and using finite element modeling, we calculated the magnitude of the compressive strains that accumulated on these surfaces in response to mastication. "

"
4.	Therapeutics 01/01/2022 - "Nevertheless, since it is possible to detect mild cases of Pathological tooth migration (PTM) at an early stage, spontaneous correction of migrated teeth can be accomplished by periodontal therapy alone. " 01/01/2017 - "The periodontal therapy of severely damaged teeth that have advanced bone loss, a significant degree of mobility, and often tooth migration and elongation, frequently exposes the dental clinician to difficult decisions regarding the appropriate therapy for the patient. " 11/01/2015 - "To illustrate the reversibility of "pathologic tooth migration" in several patients that were managed by periodontal therapy alone, along with a review of the relevant literature. " 07/01/2013 - "This case report describes the spontaneous correction of a pathologic tooth migration (PTM) and reduced infra-bony pockets after a nonsurgical periodontal therapy.
