Background: The review paper addresses the newer trend in the field of rapid orthodontic tooth movement, the Piezocision. Piezocision is an innovative, minimally invasive technique that allows rapid orthodontic tooth movement without the need for the extensive and traumatic bur corticotomies. The novelty of Piezocision resides in the “one-sided” flapless buccal approach, where there is no need to operate palatally or lingually. Piezocision offers advantages that should lead to greater acceptance in the dental and patient communities. This new treatment approach that combines minimally invasive surgery and orthodontics can be a powerful tool for rapid orthodontic tooth movements.
Keywords: Rapid tooth movement, piezocision, surgical orthodontics.
