Application of LIPUS in Orthodontics

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Therapeutic Ultrasound in Dentistry

Abstract

Since 2002, when the first scientific paper on the effect of LIPUS on lower incisors eruption and formation was reported, an extensive research has been conducted to understand the mechanism by which LIPUS can stimulate dental forming cells to produce dental tissues, in particular dentine and cementum. Also, it was back in 1971 when it was reported that ultrasound can alter growing end plates in small animals, the concept that can be and has been utilized in the lower arch to modify its growth at both the experimental and clinical trials levels. This chapter will shed light on the current evidence in the literature that suggests the use of LIPUS in daily orthodontic practices in many applications.
