Abstract

Nowadays, number of people seeking orthodontic treatment has been steadily increasing to enhance their smile or their masticatory function and a short treatment time has been a recurring request. To address and reduce overall treatment time, a number of surgical techniques have been developed to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement. However, these have been found to be quite invasive, leading to low acceptance in patients and the dental community. Piezocision is a new, minimally invasive procedure, combining microincisions with selective tunneling that allows for hard or soft tissue grafting and piezoelectric incisions. The purpose of this article was to review this new technique that allows rapid orthodontic tooth movement without the downside of the extensive and traumatic classical surgical approach.
