Abstract
Orthodontic treatment is crucial for improving dental health by addressing issues like crowded teeth, overbites, and misalignments. Relapse following completion of fixed appliance phase can occurs even after successful treatment. This study examines the effects of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (mwcnts), platelet rich plasma (prp), and their combination on orthodontic relapse and histomorphometric changes following tooth movement. A total of 72 healthy adult male albino rabbits were initially selected, with 65 completing the study after accounting for a 10% dropout rate. The rabbits, aged 20–32 weeks and averaging 1770 grams, were housed under controlled light and dark cycles at the university of thi-qar, iraq. The study involved five groups: group i (negative control) with no intervention; group ii (positive control) with only orthodontic appliance placement; group iii with orthodontic appliance and mwcnt injection; group iv with a combination of mwcnts and prp; and group v with prp injection alone. A modified orthodontic appliance generating a reciprocal force of approximately 50 grams was used to induce tooth movement.
