저자는 흰쥐 27수의 하악제일대구치를 교정용 고무선으로 이동시킨후, 이동의 초기에 나타나는 치수의 반응을 조직학적 방법으로 관찰하는 것을 연구목적으로 하였다. 30 Gm부터 120 Gm까지의 힘을, 12수는 3일간, 15수는 7일간, 각 실험치아에 부여하였다. 관찰결과는 다음과 같았다. 1. 치수조직의 주변화는 치수혈관의 순환장애와 조상아세포의 공포형상으로 나타났다. 2. 적용시킨 힘의 증가에 따라서 상기 조직변화의 범위가 확대되었다. 3. 기외에 치근의 상아질과 백악질의 부분적 흡수도 볼 수 있었다.
The author investigated on the responses of pulp and dentine following tooth movements. The material consisted of fifty-four intact teeth from twenty-seven adult white rats. The half of the teeth were employed as controls and the other half served as experimental group. These teeth were moved with forces ranging from 30 grams to 120 grams for from 3 to 7 days. All these were extracted immediately after the force was relieved. The main pulp changes in the experiment were vacuolization of the pulp tissue and circulatory disturbances. The magnitude of the force had an important role. In addition to these changes, the resorption in dentine and cementum was observed, which was related to the magnitude of the force and the duration of experiment.
