Abstract

Prolonged orthodontic treatment timing might cause pathologic changes like root resorptions, periodontal problems & psychological impact on patients. By shortening of treatment duration it helps to prevent undesired sequelae & increased motivation towards treatment. Recently a number of techniques with the potential to reduce treatment time had been administered. The major categories were: - Biological through local or systemic administration of drugs, Mechanical or physical stimulation such as vibrators & low energy lasers, surgically facilitated accelerated orthodontic treatment like corticotomy and piezocision. Therefore the aim of this study is to help in evaluating the knowledge & utilization of techniques used by an orthodontists & Post-graduates in their practice.
