Abstract

The present disclosure provides a delivery system comprising (i) a physiologically acceptable carrier and (ii) a proteolytic enzyme or effector thereof for use in a method for relaxing fibers within a subject's oral cavity. In some embodiments, the relaxation is for use in tooth manipulation (particularly repositioning). In some embodiments, the method involves the use of the proteolytic enzyme or effector thereof at a concentration effective to cause relaxation of fibers between the tooth's alveolar bone and gingiva while maintaining integrity of the fibers surrounding the tooth. Also disclosed herein are methods for fiber relaxation and/or repositioning of tooth making use of the proteolytic enzyme or effector thereof.
