Acceptable speed of tooth movement in orthodontics is main limiting factor in treatment time. Although there are many devices and accessories which helps to move teeth – big forces in small period can cause complications like tooth resorption. The paper aimed to verify low-intensity pulsed ultrasound as method to accelerate orthodontic movement. A literature review from 2002-2020 using data bases like PubMed and Medline was performed. LIPUS orthodontics, LIPUS in dentistry, low-intensity pulsed ultrasound. 35 articles associated with the aim of this review were chosen and analyzed. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasounds start biological sequence on molecular level. Reactions on cellular structures accelerate bone healing and reduce negative effects and complications during treatment. Low-intensity pulsed ultrasounds have positive impact on bone wounds healing, treating developmental bone defects, cartilage and soft tissues reactions, tooth resorption, teeth tissue and periodontal regeneration and on orthodontic treatment acceleration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
