title: Effect of constant currents on orthodontic tooth movement in the cat.
abstract: Constant 10 muA currents were applied to the mandibles of 12 cats via electrodes implanted mesial and distal to premolars undergoing orthodontic treatment. A third were moved toward the cathode, a third were moved toward the anode, and a third were moved in the absence of an applied field. No significant difference in total movement was seen at the end of five weeks.
