PENGARUH DIET VITAMIN C DAN D TERHADAP PERCEPATAN PERGERAKAN GIGI PADA PERAWATAN ORTODONTI

Background: The principle of orthodontic tooth movement stated that when given pressure, the tooth would release a chemical signal which in turn affect cell differentiation in bone cellular structure which resulted in tooth movement. The pressure given would travel along the length of the tooth, such as when a pressure is applied to the crown it would be distributed to the root, and the periodontal ligament and then to the alveolar bone structure. The movement of the tooth itself needs to be maintained properly in the sense that the movement occurred is a form of stress responses, which would, if left unchecked, would cause uncontrolled movement, therefore proper risk mitigation actions needs to be taken. Previously it was found that bone metabolism that affect by various drugs and chemical can also affect tooth movement in orthodontic treatment. Vitamins are are one of them. Due to COVID-19 people are taking vitamins at an increased rate, one of which is vitamin C and D People who use orthodontic appliances are generally concerned about their dental aesthetics. In fact, the vitamins they consume, one of which is in the form of vitamins C and D, affect the movement of teeth in orthodontic treatment. Therefore, this systematic review was made to find out wether dietary vitamins C and D affect the acceleration of tooth movement in orthodontic treatment. Purpose: To determine the mechanism of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) in orthodontic treatment as well as the effect of dietary vitamin C and D on the acceleration of OTM. Method: This research is a systematic review using the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses) method which is carried out systematically by following the correct stages or research protocol and collect literature from search engines such as PubMed and Science Direct which discuss the effect of diet vitamin C and D on the tooth movement acceleration in orthodontic treatment. Result: There are six kinds of literature relevant to the topic. Conclusion: From all literature, it can be concluded that vitamin C and D can be an effective agent to increase and accelerate orthodontic tooth movement.
