Abstract

Asthma is a common systemic disease occurring in infancy and adolescence, time periods that could encompass orthodontic treatment. Asthma is an inflammatory disease; therefore, it might interfere with orthodontic tooth movement. The purpose of the study was to analyze the histomorphologic aspects of the periodontal ligament of asthmatic Wistar rats in the initial period of orthodontic movement.
