Brief Summary

With increasing number of adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment, shorter treatment duration has become a common demand. Lengthier orthodontic treatment time poses several drawbacks such as increased predisposition to dental caries, gingival recession and root resorption. Though accurate and precise control of tooth movement can be optimized with the proper use of mechanics, however the rate of tooth movement depends on the reaction of the surrounding tissue to the orthodontic force.

The micro-osteoperforation technique has the unique advantage of being flapless minimally invasive method for accelerating the tooth movement. As MOP is a recent development, further exploration of this technique is needed.
