Aim: The objective of this review of the literature is oriented towards an analysis of the current available evidence on the efficacy of corticotomy and piezocision procedures in the acceleration of orthodontic dental movement.
Methodology: It has been made an electronic search in 3 databases with the following selection criteria; randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of the last 10 years, in which apply orthodontic treatments combined with corticotomy or piezocision in front of the conventional orthodontic treatment.
Results: Eleven randomized controlled trials were included in this review of the literature, where all demonstrated a greater acceleration of tooth movement compared to conventional orthodontics, observed that with both techniques the retraction time decreased significantly on the experimental side than on the control side with a variation between 25% - 53%.
Conclusion: The application of techniques such as corticotomy and piezocision show best results; that is, a greater acceleration of the movement of dental pieces during orthodontic treatment compared to conventional techniques.
