Abstract:Objective:
The objective of the study was to evaluate the rate of orthodontic tooth movement assisted by piezocision and discission in extraction cases.
Methods:
Twelve adults (20-35 years) requiring upper premolar extraction for orthodontic treatment were included in this preliminary parallel-arm clinical study. Participants (randomly allocated) in Groups A and B received piezocision and discision-assisted corticotomy cuts at the premolar extraction site, respectively,… Show more
