Effectiveness of Olive Oil Local Application in Orthodontic Patients.

Summary

The large body of evidence supports the chemotherapeutic potential of substances found in Olive Oil (OO), acting on different sides, such as inflammation, oxidative damage, and even epigenetic modulation. The consumption of OO should be suggested in a healthy diet instead of other types of oils. It looks worthy, to determine the effect of local application of Olive Oil in decreasing the friction between brackets and wires during orthodontic treatment.
