Micro-osteoperforation for enhancement of orthodontic movement: A mechanical analysis using the finite element method
Micro-osteoperforations considerably increased the movement of both the dental crown and periodontal ligament, which highlights their importance in the improvement of orthodontic movement, as well as in stress distribution across the bone structure. Important stress absorption regions were identified within micro-osteoperforations.
