The number of factors identified to be involved in mechanically induced bone remodeling is growing steadily. With the uncovering of the functions of neuronal guidance molecules (NGMs) for skeletal development as well as for bone homeostasis, NGMs are now also among the potentially significant factors for the regulation of bone remodeling during orthodontic tooth movement. This narrative review attempts to summarize the functions of NGMs in bone homeostasis and provides insight into the currently sparse literature on the functions of these molecules during orthodontic tooth movement. Presently, four families of NGMs are known: Netrins, Slits, Semaphorins, ephrins and Eph receptors. A search of electronic databases revealed roles in bone homeostasis for representatives from all four NGM families. Functions during orthodontic tooth movement, however, were only identified for Semaphorins, ephrins and Eph receptors. For these, crucial prerequisites for participation in the regulation of orthodontically induced bone remodeling, such as expression in cells of the periodontal ligament and in the alveolar bone, as well as mechanical inducibility, were shown, which suggests that the importance of NGMs in orthodontic tooth movement may be underappreciated to date and further research might be warranted. 4950 https://doi.org/10.3390/ijms231710077$xR$3Volltext$534 4950 https://nbn-resolving.org/urn:nbn:de:gbv:8:3-2024-00482-3$xR$3Volltext$534 4961 https://macau.uni-kiel.de/receive/macau_mods_00004767 5051 610 5550 Axon Guidance 5550 Bone Remodeling 5550 Bone Remodeling 5550 Eph receptors 5550 Ephrins 5550 Ephrins 5550 Neuronal Guidance Molecules 5550 Orthodontic Tooth Movement 5550 Periodontal Ligament 5550 Receptors, Eph Family 5550 Semaphorins 5550 Semaphorins 5550 Tooth Movement Techniques
