injections of prostaglandins, 1,25(OH)2 D3 (the active form of Vitamin D3), osteocalcin, and relaxin around the alveolar socket, but they have the undesirable side effects of local pain and discomfort during the injections. [4] Surgical category includes alveolar decortication, corticotomy, distraction of the periodontal ligament, and distraction of the dentoalveolus. The idea of surgically accelerated tooth movement although more than a century old has only gained momentum and interest during the past 10 years. [5] Some of the authors have claimed that the decortication combined with augmentation grafting created greater Systematic ReviewAccelerating the orthodontic tooth movement is desirable to the orthodontist because the treatment duration has been associated with increased risk of gingival inflammation, decalcification, dental caries, and especially external root resorption. Reducing the treatment time requires increasing the rate of orthodontic tooth movement. [3] Many studies have examined different methods that can increase the rate of orthodontic tooth movement like local

Introduction The aim of this systematic review was to compare still photography and videography for smile analysis. Materials and Methods Based on the available data, two authors conducted an electronic database PubMed search from January 1, 2000, to December 31, 2015, and ten strategies were designed using five keywords along with their respective synonyms. Twelve articles were shortlisted for the systematic review. Results The search yielded 91 articles, of which 12 were included based on the selection criteria. Of these 12, five concluded videography compared to be a better tool. Seven articles had variable conclusions based on the study setting and population evaluated. Conclusions Digital video clips offer a tremendous amount of information for analyzing the dynamic character of the smile, but a standard digital photograph allows for immediate viewing.
