The purposes of this study were to determine by direct measurement the effects that acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, and acetaminophen have on orthodontic tooth movement in rats and to evaluate histologically the differences in bone resorption in the pressure area in rats treated with these analgesics.ooth movement was similar in the groups. CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory analgesics such as aspirin and ibuprofen diminish the number of osteoclasts, probably by inhibiting the secretion of prostaglandins, thereby reducing orthodontic tooth movement.
â¢ CLINOMETER (noun) The noun CLINOMETER has 1 sense: 1. an instrument used by surveyors in order to measure an angle of inclination or elevation. Familiarity information: CLINOMETER used as a noun is very rare.
The determination of the difference in elevation of two points is called levelling, and can be carried out with the clinometer set at 0Â°. The place where you stand with the level is called a turning point, TP. Your rodperson holds the rod on the first point, and you make a backsight, BS, by reading the rod.ith the levelling rod, the HI can easily be obtained. Set the index at 0Â°, and the clinometer becomes a level. Sight the rod from close by, and read the HI. This can, of course, be done by simply making a mark on a wall just in front of your eyes, and then measuring its height.
