Abstract:Introduction The bio-stimulatory effects of low-intensity ultrasound on dental tissues which were clinically introduced in 2004 demonstrated a reduction in root resorption in maxillary premolars subjected to a force level of 50 g. Similar results by applying a torque of 50 g to the maxillary premolars were obtained in 2016; however, the effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on the presence of high-intensity forces are not yet known. Aim The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of LIPUS… Show more
