Abstract :

Long drawn orthodontic treatment has been associated with increased risks of root resorption, periodontal disease, caries and changes or loss of patient compliance. Orthodontic treatment time has always been an area of rigorous research. Various attempts have been made to increase the rate of tooth movement while minimizing the associated side effects. It can be oadly classified into surgical and non–surgical approaches. Among the non–surgical methods various physical devices & pharmacological agents have come into existence. Effects of vitamin D, prostaglandin E1 and 2 Osteocalcin, parathyroid hormone, long–term or high dose corticosteroids on tooth movement has been studied and is still being researched. Physical devices like Acceledent, Orthopulse, Propel Device, Biolux & Aevo system have been tried to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. Surgically derived regional accelerations of orthodontic treatment i.e. PAOO, dento–alveolar & periodontal distraction and its modifications have come into existence. Other surgical procedures have been modified from raising a flap to flapless techniques such as peizosicion, corticision and aleveocentesis which are becoming popular. Present article is an overview of all the methods being used to accelerate tooth movement
