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.
A goniometer is an instrument that either measures an angle or allows an object to be rotated to a precise angular position. The term goniometry is derived from two Greek words, gÅnia, meaning angle, and metron, meaning measure.rior to the invention of the theodolite, the goniometer was used in surveying. The application of triangulation to geodesy was described in the second (1533) edition of Cosmograficus liber by Petri Appiani as a 16-page appendix by Frisius entitled Libellus de locorum describendorum ratione.
