Lecture Description

In the last decade, acceleration of tooth movement has taken front and center interest among clinical and basic science research. Primarily, the local surgical injury of dentoalveolar complex has been the major target of modulation of this speed. Invasive and minimally-invasive approaches that consist of corticotomies with and without flaps that involve different surgical instruments to induce this localized injury have been evaluated. Although numerous studies have been conducted with contrasting results, overall, the evidence tends to support that a temporary acceleration may be obtained. The impact of these acceleratory effects on the reduction of the overall treatment duration are still unclear.

This lecture will:

Highlight the current evidence in both clinical and basic science regarding the acceleratory effects of the different invasive and minimally invasive procedures to accelerate the speed of orthodontic tooth movement
Describe the future potential research fronts involving omics research, such as genomics, proteomics and metabolomics that could give us clues to achieve this acceleration
Present the results of a basic science project evaluating the effect of piezocision in rats with RNA sequencing
