Abstract

By decreasing mechanical resistance in the periodontal ligament, fiberotomy enhances treatment efficiency and stability. However, it necessitates careful consideration of individual patient factors, such as periodontal health and treatment complexity. While promising, the long-term effects on periodontal status require further exploration. Fiberotomy shows potential to revolutionize orthodontic practices, offering expedited and stable treatments, yet comprehensive understanding of its long-term safety and effectiveness is essential. This study investigates the influence of fiberotomy on orthodontic tooth movement, highlighting its benefits in accelerating treatment and reducing relapse.
