Ability of Mini-Implant Facilitated Micro-osteoperforations to Accelerate Tooth Movement in Rats

摘要

IntroductionWhile current techniques for accelerated tooth movement (ATM) often involve invasive surgical procedures, micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) using mini-implants (MI) may facilitate orthodontic tooth movement without raising flaps, reducing surgical risks and increasing patient acceptance. In this study, we evaluated the effectiveness of MI-facilitated MOPs in inducing ATM and investigated potential risks for root resorption.
