Orthodontic tooth movement with and without corticotomy – A study realized on animal model

Orthodontic treatment of dento-maxillary anomalies is a common therapeutic intervention, with a growing number of pediatric and adult patients requiring it [1]. The raising understanding of the need for this treatment option has led to a shift in the addressability of various social groups, leading to an increase in adult patients' interest [2]. Orthodontic treatment in adult patient is more dificult because the bone remodeling is hard to do and thereis not growing process. Cortiotomy consists of milling the alveolar bone, the vestibular board, in order to create small labor in which the dental displacement following the application of orthodontic force will be faster. The corticotomy is performed in local anesthesia, with bone cutters, under continuous cooling with saline. Orthodontic treatment in adult patient is more difficult because the bone remodeling is hard to do and thereis not growing process [3]. Filho et al. said that the introduction of this technique of corticotomy makes it possible to solve complex cases while providing an alternative to the classical approach, eliminating a number of inventients, such as dental extractions [4]. Despite the many benefits it can bring
