Histological evaluation of the effects of corticotomy on induced orthodontic movement in rats

Introduction: Alveolar corticotomy is a surgical procedure used to increase the velocity of tooth movement. Objective: Identify histological evidence of the effect of corticotomy on orthodontic movement in rats. Material and method: Forty-five Wistar rats (Rattusnorvegicus Albinus) were equally divided...

Influence of Class II Elastics on Centric Relation and Centric Occlusion Discrepancy after Orthodontic Treatment

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to verify the influence of the use of Class II intermaxillary elastics on centric relation (CR) to centric occlusion (CO) occlusal discrepancy.
