Abstract

To study the most common means to accelerate orthodontic treatment it was done a search in Pubmed, LILACs and Bireme databases with the uniterms: corrective orthodontics, inflammatory mediators, tooth movement, lymphokines and a manual search at Scholar Google with the terms: corticotomy, periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics, piezocison, piezopuncture and alveolar microperforations. All the techniques are based on the variation of chemical mediators that stimulate colonies of ostoclasts and osteoblasts that take place in the bone metabolism. It was shown that surgical maneuvers are the most common procedures, following by phyiscal estimuli and there is great diversity between the techniques and evaluation methods so we have to do a narrative review based on chronologic appearance in literature. It was concluded that of the procedures to accelerate dental movement in orthodontic treatment, corticotomy, alveolar microperforations and accelerated periodontal osteogenic orthodontics are those that appear to be more indicated in clinical applications when considered the benefits over conventional treatment, although research with larger groups and controlled conditions is necessary to fully validate these techniques.
