With the intention of improving the rate, quality, and stability of
orthodontic tooth movement, those in the field are now moving
toward accomplishing this 'acceleration' with minimally or
non-invasive methods. New procedures have been widely tested in
humans, animal models, and in vitro. While interest is growing both
in the industry and at the clinical level, the understanding of the
biology is limited. Considering that a simple increase in force
will result in tooth morbidity and arrest of the tooth migration, a
multi-disciplinary approach is critical for success. This
publication brings together multi-disciplinary expertise on a wide
variety of processes related to and involved in orthodontic tooth
movement. The premise is that, by better understanding the
biological structures and the mechanism through which they respond
to biomechanical forces, one can get a better assessment of the
'acceleration'. This work presents research aimed at an improved
understanding of conventional and accelerated orthodontic tooth
movement from a biological perspective and will be of great value
to clinicians, researchers, academics, and students.
