Evaluation of the effects for root resorption in orthodontic tooth movement with micro-osteoperforations in mice.

Background/purpose: Orthodontic treatment is one of the most demanding procedures available for both patients and clinicians. The challenges stem from the extended duration to achieve desired results, often necessitating surgical interventions, such as micro-osteoperforations (MOPs). This study aimed to investigate the biological effects and extent of changes resulting from these interventions.
