Key Points

This research aims to explore how lithium affects root resorption and tooth movement in an osteoporotic model.
Utilized an osteoporotic rat model to study effects of lithium.
Administered lithium treatment during orthodontic procedures.
Measured root resorption and tooth movement distances after treatment.
Lithium significantly suppressed orthodontically induced root resorption (OIRR).
Lithium promoted bodily tooth movement without affecting overall orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) distance.

Abstract

In an osteoporotic rat model, lithium effectively suppressed OIRR and promoted bodily tooth movement without reducing OTM distance, suggesting the therapeutic potential of lithium in patients with osteoporosis.
