Summary

Introduction

The study aimed to investigate the effects of micro-osteoperforations (MOPs) on the changes in mandibular bone volume fraction (Bone Volume/Total Volume, BV/TV), in relation to the MOP effects on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement, using CBCT images. The other objective was to evaluate the effects of different frequency intervals (4 weeks, 8 weeks and 12 weeks) of MOPs on mandibular bone volume fraction (BV/TV), in relation to the rate of tooth movement.

Methods

In 24 participants, orthodontic force of 140-200 grams was applied for mandibular canine retraction. Three micro-osteoperforations (MOP's) were made according to the scheduled intervals of the three different groups (4, 8 and 12 weeks) directly at the mandibular buccal cortical bone of extracted first premolars sites. At the 12th week following MOP application, CBCT scans were performed. CT Analyser software was used to compute trabecular alveolar bone volume fraction (BV/TV).
