First premolar extractions were carried out either at the start of orthodontic treatment (healed extraction group) or immediately before the commencement of en-masse retraction (recent extraction group). Unstimulated saliva samples and study models were collected at five time points: before the start of orthodontic treatment; after alignment and levelling; and at 2, 8 and 12 weeks after the initiation of retraction. Changes in concentrations of salivary biomarkers were assessed as primary outcomes. Rate of tooth movement was evaluated as a secondary outcome. A mixed analysis of variance was used to evaluate changes in salivary biomarker concentrations over time and between groups.
