Comparison of the effects of micro-osteoperforation and corticision on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement in rats.

CONCLUSION: The two minimally invasive flapless surgical interventions increased bone remodeling and osteoclast activity and induced faster orthodontic tooth movement for at least 2 weeks in rats. No differences were observed between the outcome of flapless micro-osteoperforation and corticision in the rats. PMID: 26595657 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
