A Comparative Evaluation of Effects of Micro-osteoperforations on Canine Retraction Using Finite Element Analysis: An In Vitro Study
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 11
Abstract
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of modified corticotomy procedures on canine retraction and compare it with the conventional method using finite element analysis. Materials and Methods: Three-dimensional finite element method was used to simulate canine retraction after modified corticotomy procedures in sliding mechanics after first premolar extraction. Retractive force of 200 g was applied, and the amount of canine retraction was measured in both micro-osteoperforation and vertical groove model and compared with the conventional model. Result: Vertical groove model shows the maximum amount of canine retraction followed by micro-osteoperforation model and least with the conventional model. Conclusion: Modified corticotomy procedures have been proven to be an efficient way of accelerating orthodontic tooth movement as it reduces cortical bone resistance.
