Abstract
The orthodontic tooth movement induces per se inflammatory changes in the dental tissues. In this article we analyze the dual role that can have the nitric oxide, being able to behave as citoprotective and anti.inflammatory or as citotoxic and mediator of the cellular damage. We value his function as mediator of the inflammatory response and his possible protective effect, as well as his role of modulator of the inflammatory response both at systemic and local level.
