RESUMO

During orthodontic treatment, the initial response of periodontal tissues to mechanical stress involves several structural and biochemical changes that allow the tooth movement. The matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) seem to play an important role in maintaining the functional integrity of periodontal extracellular matrix. The aim of this study was to evaluate, in different periods, the levels of matrix metalloproteinases -1, -2, -3, -7, -8, -12 and -13 in gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) of the superior caninessubmitted to distalization movement and test the hypothesis of possible changes in these MMPs levels with the use of orthodontic forces. GCF samples were obtained from sixteen healthy orthodontic patients (nine males and seven females with ages ranging between 13 and 27 years, mean age 17.7 years) who had indication of first superior bicuspids extraction with cuspids distalization as part of orthodontic treatment. One maxillary canine was subjected to a distalizing force, and considered as the test tooth. The contralateral canine, which was not subjected to any force but was included in an orthodontic appliance, was used as a control. GCF sampling was performed at both mesial (tension) and distal (pressure) sites of the controls and tests teeth 7 days before applying the orthodontic appliance, immediately before applying the orthodontic force, and after 1 h, 24 h, and 7, 14 and 21 days, respectively called -7d, 0h, 1h, 24h, 7d, 14d and 21 d. The results showed significant differences in the GCF volume only in time intervals of 0h-7d on control-pressure (CP), test-tension (TT) and test-pressure (TP) sides. In TP side was observed an increase in volume between the time 0h and 14d. It was possible to detect in GCF all MMPs studied on control/test sides and pressure/tension sides at all periods. Fluctuations in levels of MMPs showed few significant changes in different periods on the sides control/test and pressure/tension. The differences between the groups (TT, TP, CT and CP) in each time showed no significant results as well as the comparisons between pressure and tension sides for each period individually. The expression levels of MMP-8 were much higher than those of other MMPs evaluated, but with no significant differences between sides test and control.
