Accelerated orthodontics and express transit orthodontics (ETO)®, a contemporary concept of high efficiency

Autor: Aristizábal Juan Fernando

Resumen

Accelerated Orthodontic treatment can reduce risks of enamel demineralization, root resorption and periodontal problems, and contribute to have more satisfied patients and professionals with more efficient practices. Several methods have been evaluated to improve the rate, magnitude and stability of orthodontic movement, which include surgical, biochemical, pharmacological and laser therapy approaches. Furthermore, in the mechanical scope, the evolution of brackets systems has allowed contemporary systems to reach the market which guarantee better biological approaches at least from the point of view of strength levels. The sum of high quality diagnostic approaches, efficient mechanics and physical and/or biological and surgical accessories in order to accelerate the movement is what we call Express Transit Orthodontics (OTE)®, which is an important alternative for high quality and efficient treatments. The purpose of this literature review is to analyze new approaches to accelerate tooth movement from the biological, physical and surgical approach, in synergy with a mechanical complement, either conventional or customized self-ligature systems.
