Abstract
The impact of alveolar corticotomy-assisted orthodontics (ACAO) on root resorption and treatment duration in orthodontic patients is of interest. Fifty patients were randomly divided into ACAO and control groups, with root resorption assessed via CBCT and treatment duration recorded. The ACAO group exhibited significantly shorter treatment duration (10.2 ą 1.8 months) compared to the control group (16.5 ą 2.1 months, p<0.05). A slight increase in root resorption was observed in the ACAO group (0.8 ą 0.3 mm) versus the control (0.5 ą 0.2 mm, p<0.05), but no severe resorption was detected. ACAO effectively accelerates orthodontic treatment without clinically significant root resorption.
