Description
Summary:Background: Orthodontics has been developing greatly in achieving the desired results both clinically and technically.Continous modification of wires and brackets as a result of bio mechanical efficiencies in orthodontics has greatly improved.However,these biomechanical systems may have reached their limit and their is a need to develop new methods to accelerate teeth movement.It is still very challenging to reduce the duration of orthodontic treatments.It is one of the common deterrents that orthodontist faces and causes irritation among adults and increasing risks of caries,gingival recession and root resorption.A lot of approaches have been done to achieve quicker results,but still there are some uncertainties towards most of the techniques.The purpose of this review is to view the successful approaches in accelerated tooth movement and to highlight the newest technique in tooth movement. Orthodontic tooth movement occurs in the presence of a mechanical stimuli sequenced by remodeling of the alveolar bone and periodontal ligament (PDL). Orthodontic force induces a cellular response in the periodontal ligament, which brings about bone resorption on the pressure side and bone deposition on the tension side. Drugs Drugs: Various drugs have been used since long to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, and have achieved successful results.These include vitamin D, prostaglandin, interleukins, parathyroid hormone, misoprostol etc. [...]vitamin D when injected in the PDL increases the levels of LDH and CPK enzymes; prostaglandin causes a generalized increase in the inflammatory state and causes root resorption. [...]as of today, no drug exists that can safely accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. The mechanism involved in...
