Surgically Assisted Orthodontics: Use of Piezocision in a Case of Oligodontia to Accelerate the Rate of Tooth Movement.

Abstract

Conventionally the use of surgical assisted tooth movement is to hasten orthodontic tooth movement. In this article, a case of 13 year-old male with oligodontia has been described in whom piezocision has been used to improve bone turnover and remodeling in long standing edentulous spaces which have less medullary bone and more cortical bone.
