“…The bulkiness of the devices and the source of electricity made it difficult to be tested clinically. Several attempts were made to develop biocatalytic fuel cells to generate electricity intraorally by the use of enzymes and glucose as fuel [ 45 , 46 ]. Further development of the direct electric device and the biocatalytic fuel cells is needed to be done so that these can be tested clinically.…”

Nowadays, there is an increased tendency for researches to focus on accelerating methods for tooth movement due to the huge demand for adults for a shorter orthodontic treatment time. Unfortunately, long orthodontic treatment time poses several disadvantages like higher predisposition to caries, gingival recession, and root resorption. This increases the demand to find the best method to increase tooth movement with the least possible disadvantages. The purpose of this study is to view the successful approaches in tooth movement and to highlight the newest technique in tooth movement. A total of 74 articles were reviewed in tooth movement and related discipline from 1959 to 2013. There is a high amount of researches done on the biological method for tooth movement; unfortunately, the majority of them were done on animals. Cytokine, PTH, vitamin D, and RANKL/RANK/OPG show promising results; on the other hand, relaxin does not accelerate tooth movement, but increases the tooth mobility. Low-level laser therapy has shown positive outcome, but further investigation should be done for the best energy and duration to achieve the highest success rate. Surgical approach has the most predictable outcomes but with limited application due to its aggressiveness. Piezocision technique is considered one of the best surgical approaches because it poses good periodontal tissue response and excellent aesthetic outcome. Due to the advantages and disadvantages of each approach, further investigations should be done to determine the best method to accelerate tooth movement.

“…13 Alternatively, the process of bone remodelling was enhanced to increase the rate of OTM. Such intervention can be achieved by 1) using certain biochemicals, 2) stimulation of alveolar bone mechanically or physically through the use of magents, cyclic vibration, 14 or direct electric current 15 and 3) surgical interventions to hasten the tooth movement. Various biochemicals such as dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-(OH)2D3), 16 parathyroid hormone prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), or osteocalcin 17 have been administered locally.…”

Objectives: This study aimed to assess laser assisted orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) among subjects undergoing fixed orthodontic treatment (FOT) of four different treatment modalities (TM). Materials and Methods: Following consort flow diagram, a total of 32 subjects randomly allocated in to 4 different group based on TM. Group A (GA): 8 subjects, FOT with self-ligating bracket (SLB) + low laser irradiation (LLLI), Group A (GB): 8 subjects, FOT with self-ligating bracket + Non-LLLI, Group C (GC): 8 subjects, FOT with conventional bracket (CB) + low laser irradiation (LLLI), Group D (GD): 8 subjects, FOT with CB + Non-LLLI. Results: Clinical photographs and diagnostic CBCT has been taken. Clinical observation of OTM, baseline, 1-day and 28-day afterFOT in all TM groups has been assessed by single calibrated specialist. Among 4 TM groups, best OTM results observed in GA and the lesser OTM observed in GD. Conclusion: Among all 4 TM groups,1-month after FOT GA revealed promising benefit in relation to OTM.

“…Research has demonstrated that the use of cyclic forces increases the rate of bone remodelling compared to static forces. 13,28,29 In a pilot study in one human subject, a pulsating force device was investigated and was found to enhance and speed tooth movement, although it was never introduced commercially; both the rate of movement and the total amount of movement were enhanced. Cyclic forces have been found to accelerate the rate of bone remodelling to levels far greater than static forces or intermittent forces.…”

Long treatment time has been a deterrent for the patients for pursuing orthodontic treatment. Orthodontist from time immemorial have been trying different methods for reducing the treatment time. It has been documented in literature that vibration therapy helps in bone remodelling and muscle regeneration as demonstrated in cases of osteoporosis, muscle loss and joint pain. Using the similar approach orthodontist from different era have tried to accelerate the tooth movement using different methods. This article summarises the efforts of different clinicians and their approaches to achieve reduced orthodontic treatment time as well as reducing the discomfort, pain and root resorption using pulsations and vibrations.
