Tissue response during Piezocision-assisted tooth movement: a histological study in rats

Abstract

Within the limitations of our study (number of animals, duration in time, and limited data on the anabolic activity), our preliminary results suggest that Piezocision-facilitated orthodontic tooth movement increases the rate of movement of the teeth undergoing orthodontic treatment through the coupled remodelling of the alveolar bone. This process is initiated by the osteoclastic activity following surgery and extended via the synergistic relationship between Piezocision and tooth movement.
