Summary: Orthodontic
dental movement is the result of physic and mechanic forces applicated on teeth. These kinds of
movements produce biologic effects in the cell and extra-cellular environment. Mice orthodontic
experimental tooth movements can produce dynamic changes on nervous fibers and pulp blood vessel
density which are correspondent with the change sequence observed on periodontal membrane and
periodontal bone. Within pulpar tissue an inflammatory answer may be found which can generate cell
changes, basically related to odontoblastos and its environment , but also blood vessel changes that
can be appreciated through the Doppler flujometry by which its possible to establish the pulp blood
flux on stressed and neurological affected human teeth on which it is possible to observe liberation
of the neuropéptidos responsible of tissues pain related by some patients after an orthodontic
apparatus activation. Key words: Dental pulp. Orthodontic movement consequences. Bucofacial
pain.
