ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF PHYSICAL AND SURGICAL THERAPIES MINIMALLY INVASIVE TO ACCELERATE ORTHODONTIC MOVEMENTS: NARRATIVE REVISION.
Objectives: Objective: Describe, with a narrative review, modern physical and surgical minimally invasive techniques to accelerate orthodontic tooth movements.
Methods: Method: The following keywords were used: Vibratory forces, Pulsed electromagnetic field, Laser, Piezocision, Corticision, Microosteoperforations, Accelerating orthodontic and Tooth movement with the Boolean operators " AND "and" OR ". These words were entered into different electronic databases: PubMed, Google Academics, TripData Base, Epistemonikos, Cochrane VHL and "American Journal of Orthodontics" (AJODO) from 2004 to 2015.
Results: Results: A total of 486 articles were obtained, 36 articles were selected based on the title and abstract, 31 items were subsequently deleted according to exclusion and inclusion criteria. In addition, 8 articles were incorporated by manual search, reducing to a total of 11 articles included in this review.
Conclusions: Conclusion: Within the evaluated techniques all are able to accelerate orthodontic movements, but still lack more scientific evidence.
