Comparison of Corticotomy and Micro-Osteoperforation During Canine Retraction

Puerto Rico13 participantsStarted 2018-10-02

Plain-language summary

Corticotomy and micro-osteoperforation (MOP) have been proven to accelerate tooth movement and shorten orthodontic treatment time, compared to conventional treatment. MOP is less invasive; however, it is unclear whether it is as effective as a corticotomy. The purpose of this study was to compare the maxillary canine retraction achieved by these techniques.
