Physical properties of root cementum: Part 26. Effects of micro-osteoperforations on orthodontic root resorption: A microcomputed tomography study

•Micro-osteoperforations were associated with an increase in root resorption after 4 weeks of orthodontic tooth movement. •Future studies should be done on patients having a full course of orthodontic treatment. Introduction Studies have demonstrated the potential efficacy of micro-osteoperforations in accelerating tooth movement by amplifying the expression of inflammatory markers. The aim of this investigation was to examine the effects of...
