Uso de corticotomía para aceleración de movimientos ortodónticos : revisión bibliográfica.

Abstract

Introduction: Corticotomy is a surgical technique limited to the cortical portion of the alveolar bone, which allows the acceleration of conventional orthodontic movements, this is achieved thanks to the regional accelerating phenomenon RAP which is activated locally in the corticotomized sites that in turn will trigger a series of biological and physiological events in a transitory way, making possible the faster orthodontic treatment. Objective: To determine the effectiveness of the use of corticotomy in the acceleration of orthodontic movement. Materials and methods: Retrospective and observational bibliographic review, which will help to better analyze and understand the already established knowledge about this surgical maneuver for which the international bibliographic databases was available until August 2020, the materials used were scientific articles from indexed journals and textbooks. Results: for this section, a total of 9 articles were selected which met the inclusion criteria. In which it was shown that the reduction in treatment time through the use of corticotomy. Conclusion: The results of the analyzed studies have made it possible to demonstrate that the use of corticotomy for acceleration of orthodontic movements acts effectively, being able to be used as an adjunct treatment to other surgical procedures.
