Abstract
Considerable evidence supports the assumption that certain components of gingival tissue, specifically those connective tissue elements superior to the alveolar bone, are partly responsible for producing relapse of orthodontically rotated teeth. The purpose of this investigation is to correlate the stability of rotated teeth by sectioning the supra- alveolar connective tissue fibers on an experimental group of teeth of dogs and by comparing the relapse tendency with a control group of teeth on the same dogs without the sectioning of the supra-alveolar connective tissue fibers.
