Inter-septal bone reduction: Impact on space closure, root resorption and canine angulation during en-masse retraction – a randomised controlled trial

Interseptal bone reduction is a minimally invasive surgical technique, resulting in an accelerated rate of en-masse retraction in the experimental group over 3 months. However, despite the statistical significance, the clinical impact on overall space closure was minimal, with a difference of only 0.26 mm/month observed between the groups. Interseptal bone reduction did not affect the change in canine angulation and root resorption.
