Assessing accelerated tooth movement techniques on their own catabolic merits: a review

Background and Purpose Accelerated tooth movement is facilitated by intentional injury of the periodontium followed by alveolar bone turnover, and bone biomarkers can be used to monitor bone turnover activity. The purpose of this literature review was to evaluate various surgical acceleration techniques using catabolic bone biomarkers to discriminate among rapid orthodontic techniques, such as corticotomy, micro-osteoperforations, and...
