[Inter-radical compact osteotomy as a method for reducing the mechanical strength of the jaw bone in orthodontic...

A low-traumatic operation, inter-radical compact osteotomy not involving buccal mucosa incision, was used in multiple-modality treatment of maxillodental deformations in schoolchildren with permanent occlusion. Mechanical impairment of horizontal counterforce is achieved by a superficial sawing through a cortical plate in interdental spaces. Bone tissue acquires the plasticity necessary for orthodontic treatment in 7-8 days as a result of reactive inflammation. Such treatment brought a stable result in 90,0 +/- 3,78 percent of adolescents in 8.5 months on an average.
