Tunnel Regenerative Corticotomy (TURC): A modified approach in surgically-assisted orthodontics

Abstract

We present a modified surgical technique which encompasses a combination of surgically-assisted accelerated orthodontics and guided bone regeneration for combined surgical and orthodontic management of dental crowding and maxillary transverse deficiency malocclusions with minimally invasive surgery, in a rapid manner, and without the use of general anesthesia.
