Summary
Corticotomy surgery speeds up orthodontic treatment by removing resistant jaw bone while preserving marrow. Modern techniques enhance its application and minimize patient discomfort.
Area of Science:
- Orthodontics
- Oral Surgery
- Periodontology
Background:
- Corticotomy is a surgical procedure designed to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement.
- It involves removing cortical bone to overcome resistance while preserving marrow bone for vascularity.
- Advancements like the regional acceleratory phenomenon and skeletal anchorage have expanded its use.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review the historical development of corticotomy.
- To explain the underlying mechanisms of action for accelerated tooth movement.
- To discuss various modified minimally invasive techniques and their indications.
Main Methods:
- Review of historical literature on corticotomy.
- Explanation of the biological mechanisms, including the regional acceleratory phenomenon.
- Description of surgical techniques and modifications.
- Analysis of clinical indications and outcomes.
Main Results:
- Corticotomy effectively reduces orthodontic treatment duration.
- Minimally invasive techniques decrease patient discomfort and surgical complications.
- Skeletal anchorage systems allow for greater application of orthopedic forces.
Conclusions:
- Corticotomy is a valuable adjunct for accelerating orthodontic treatment.
- Ongoing development of minimally invasive techniques improves patient experience.
- Understanding the mechanism and indications is crucial for successful application.

The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or...

Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...

01:43The Movement of Organelles and Vesicles
6.4K
In eukaryotic cells, cytoskeletal filaments such as actin, microtubules, and intermediate filaments form a mesh-like cytoskeletal network. These filaments serve as tracks for transporting cellular cargo. Specialized motor proteins use the chemical energy stored in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) for this transport. During interphase, microtubules are polarized, with the plus-end towards the cell periphery and the minus-end towards the cell center. Two microtubule-associated motor proteins,...

01:18Fluid Movement Between Compartments
4.0K
The force applied by fluids against a surface, known as hydrostatic pressure, initiates the transfer of fluid among different compartments. Within our blood vessels, the blood's hydrostatic pressure is a result of the heart's pumping action. At the arteriolar end of capillaries, hydrostatic pressure (capillary blood pressure) exceeds the opposing colloid osmotic pressure created primarily by plasma proteins like albumin. This discrepancy in pressure propels plasma and nutrients from the...

01:27Movement Joints in Buildings
347
Movement joints in buildings are essential design elements that accommodate inevitable motions caused by various factors such as temperature changes, moisture content variations, and structural deflections. These motions, if not considered in design and construction, can lead to unsightly or dangerous damage. Movement joints are incorporated in different forms to manage these stresses and allow materials to move without causing distress.
The simplest type of movement joints, working joints, are...

3.6K
Intracellular bacteria and viruses often comprise a group of highly infectious pathogens that can cause several diseases. Bacterial pathogens include those belonging to the genus Rickettsia responsible for conditions such as rocky mountain spotted fever and the Mediterranean spotted fever; Chlamydia, a genus responsible for a sexually transmitted disease; Coxiella burnetii, an agent responsible for Q fever. Viral pathogens include vaccinia—a poxvirus, and herpes simplex virus—a...
