Abstract:The aim of this study was to compare the quantity of tooth movement in canine distalization, using the precision technique in the experimental group and the conventional method in the control group. MATERIALS AND METHODS: twenty upper canines of ten patients were analyzed in a splitmouth design. They were distalized using an elastomeric chain applying a force of 250 grams per side. The teeth were divided randomly into two groups; the experimental group: 10 canines in which piezocision were applied; control gr… Show more
