Clinical Experience with the Use of Pulsatile Forces to Accelerate Treatment
Volume 49 : Number 9 : Page 557 : Sep 2015
Protracted treatment is one of the greatest challenges in orthodontics. As treatment lengthens, the patient is increasingly exposed to oral-health risks including root resorption, caries, and periodontal disease. Patient satisfaction may also decline as treatment is extended. Uribe and colleagues, evaluating the perceptions of parents, patients, and orthodontists on the need to accelerate treatment, found that 55% of adolescent patients felt their treatment was too long. Seventy percent of the responding orthodontists said they would be interested in clinical procedures that would reduce treatment time. The invasiveness of each procedure was inversely related to acceptance of that treatment for both orthodontists and patients.
