Research Abstract:
This study investigated the effect of acetaminophen injection as an analgesic during orthodontic treatment on orthodontic tooth movement and root resorption in rats. The experiment was conducted on Wistar rats subjected to orthodontic forces, while acetaminophen was administered to evaluate its influence on tooth movement and radiographic changes associated with root resorption. The main objective was to determine whether acetaminophen could reduce inflammatory reactions and root damage caused by heavy orthodontic forces without significantly interfering with orthodontic tooth movement. The findings suggested that acetaminophen may help minimize inflammatory effects and reduce root resorption while maintaining acceptable orthodontic tooth movement, making it a relatively safe a
