A Review on Methods of Accelerating Orthodontic Tooth Movement
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Accelerating the rate of tooth movement is desirable to patients because it shortens treatment time and also to orthodontists because treatment duration has been linked to an increased risk of gingival inflammation, decalcification, dental caries, and root resorption. Orthodontic treatment is based on the premise that when force is delivered to a tooth and thereby transmitted to the adjacent investing tissues, certain mechanical, chemical, and cellular events take place within these tissues, which allow for structural alterations and contribute to the movement of that tooth. Conventionally, duration of orthodontic treatment can range anywhere between 1-3years. Numerous techniques and materials have been suggested to reduce treatment times such as laser irradiation, corticotomy and pulsed electromagnetic fields. The purpose of this article is to view the successful approaches in tooth movement and to highlight the newest technique in tooth movement.
