The potential use of scaffold-mediated local delivery of bone modulators in accelerated orthodontics: A hypotheses

Accelerated orthodontics involves the use of fixed orthodontic appliance with the assistance of surgical and/or non-surgical interventions to reduce the overall treatment duration. The surgical techniques used in accelerated orthodontics include dental-alveolus distraction, periodontal ligament distraction, alveolar decortication, and conticision [1]. The potential complication associated with the ‘surgery assisted orthodontics’ has led to the development of non-surgical modalities of accelerated orthodontics.
