Evaluation of micro-osteoperforations in expediting orthodontic tooth movement in adult patients
Background: Orthodontic tooth movement, the process of aligning teeth, can often be time-consuming, particularly in adult patients. Micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) have emerged as a potential technique to accelerate this process.

Effect of 3D-printing assisted micro-osteoperforations on the rate of canine retraction: a clinical investigation [PDF]
Objectives More time is often needed for adult orthodontic patients compared with juvenile counterparts due to lower tissue vitality. In some cases, the prolonged orthodontic treatment may cause a series of problems, such as enamel demineralization ...

Micro-Osteoperforations Induce TNF-α Expression and Accelerate Orthodontic Tooth Movement via TNF-α-Responsive Stromal Cells. [PDF]
Micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) have been reported to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement (OTM), and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α has been reported to play a crucial role in OTM. In this report, the influence of MOPs during OTM was analyzed.

Micro-osteoperforations and Its Effect on the Rate of Tooth Movement: A Systematic Review. [PDF]
AbstractProlonged orthodontic treatments have inconvenienced patients and clinicians alike. Surgically assisted techniques for accelerating orthodontic tooth movement have shown promising results in the literature over the years. The minimally invasive nature of micro-osteoperforations (MOPs), however, for enhanced orthodontic tooth movement has ...

Comparison of the effects of horizontal and vertical micro-osteoperforations on the biological response and tooth movement in rabbits. [PDF]
This study aimed to compare the amount of tooth movement after multiple horizontal (MH) and single vertical (SV) micro-osteoperforations (MOPs), and evaluate the histological changes after orthodontic force application in rabbits.The mandibles of 24 white rabbits were subjected to two experimental interventions: MH and SV MOPs.

Ability of mini-implant-facilitated micro-osteoperforations to accelerate tooth movement in rats. [PDF]
Although current techniques for accelerated tooth movement often involve invasive surgical procedures, micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) using mini-implants may facilitate orthodontic tooth movement without raising flaps, reduce surgical risks, and increase patient acceptance.

Research progress on micro-osteoperforation-assisted orthodontic treatment
As a minimally invasive procedure, micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) achieve desired therapeutic effect with minimal surgical intervention. The operation is relatively simple, and the effect of assisted orthodontic treatment is obvious.
