Inclusion Criteria

Forty segments of five maxillary posterior teeth (canine, first premolar, second premolar, first molar and second molar) from twenty patients undergoing distal movement were used as experimental teeth. The patients met the following criteria:
1) Good general and oral health with a healthy periodontium, no radiographic evidence of bone loss, no gingival inflammation, and a probing depth of 3 mm or less of all teeth.
2) Lack of antibiotic therapy during previous 6 months
3) Absence of anti-inflammatory drug administration in the month preceding the study.
4) No pregnancy (women).
5)Class II malocclusion which required maxillary posterior tooth distal movement as indication for orthodontic treatment.

Exclusion Criteria

1) Previously orthodontic treatment
2) Missing of posterior maxillary teeth
