RESUMO

Anti-inflammatory drugs may slow dental movement in orthodontic patients, which leads to low therapeutic alternatives for pain control. Acetaminophen has been the first choice medication for the majority of patients, but it is not well tolerate for some. This work evaluated the influence of celecoxib and acetaminophen in the orthodontic separation of superior central incisor of rats, such as in the activation of nociceptive related structures in the spinal trigeminal nucleus, using c-fos expression in caudalis, interpolaris, and oralis sub nuclei. In a first moment, animal weigh and orthodontic force were varied, when it was possible to find the ideal relationship between these two variables, resulting in dental movement without median palate suture expansion. The application of 35 g of orthodontic force in animals weighing 400 g has been establish as the ideal experimental model, and this way, 30 male Wistar rats were pre-treated, by oral gavage (1 ml), with acetaminophen (80 mg/ml), celecoxib (20 mg/ml), or vehicle (carboxymethylcellulose 0,4%), and 30 minutes later, they were submitted or not to orthodontic stimulus. Animals received ground food, and one of the drugs or vehicle, every 12 hours. After 48 hours from the dental manipulation, they were anesthetized, photographed, and perfused with 4% paraformaldehyde. In the sequence, maxila was radiographed and brains were removed and processed for FOS immunocytochemistry. Dental movement induced incisor distalization (p<0,05), but interincisal gap was not modified by the drugs. Furthermore, no changes were found in FOS positive neurons in oralis and interpolaris subnuclei, following tooth movement, independently of whether medications were given or not. In caudalis subnucleus, however, both analgesics reduced the number of tooth movement induced FOS positive neurons. We conclude that neither celecoxib nor acetaminophen seems to affect tooth movement, but both may reduce pain caused by orthodontic appliance. Celecoxib, thus, may be a therapeutic alternative to acetaminophen when the latter was counter indicated.
