Accelerated tooth movement with piezocision and its periodontal-transversal effects in patients with Class II malocclusion.

CONCLUSION:   Piezocision-assisted distalization accelerates tooth movement, decreases the anchorage loss for posterior teeth, and does not induce any maxillary transversal change. Moreover, piezocision does not have any adverse effects on periodontal health.
