The effectiveness of minimally invasive surgery on accelerating tooth movement: A systematic review / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: To evaluate the effect of minimally invasive surgery on acceleration orthodontic tooth movement by meta-analysis. Methods: All literatures about minimally invasive surgery accelerating tooth moment were searched from the database in general. The literatures were screened according to the correlation and the inclusion criteria, included literatures were analyzed by RevMan 5. 3. Results: 5 articles including 85 patients were included in this review, 4 of which reported that minimally invasive surgery can accelerate orthodontic tooth movement, but 1 reported no statistical difference in alleviating mandibular anterior crowding between minimally invasive surgery acceleration orthodontic group and conventional orthodontic group. Higher tooth movement rate was found with the minimally invasive surgical procedures by a weighted mean difference of 0. 70 mm in 1 month of canine retraction (WMD = 0. 7 95％ CI(0. 57, 0. 82); P＜ 0. 001) and by a weighted mean difference 1. 31 mm in 2 months (WMD = 1. 31 95％ CI (0. 69, 1. 92), P＜ 0. 001). No obvious adverse effects were observed in periodontal condition, pain, satisfaction, root resorption and anchorage control. Conclusion: According to current studies, minimally invasive surgery can accelerate single tooth movement, but the evidence is insufficient to prove that the entire orthodontic treatment time can be shortened.
