Abstract

Orthodontic tooth movement leads to both bone formation and removal of bone for proper placement of teeth in the dental arch. This mechanics of bone formation due to orthodontic tooth movement can be taken to our advantage and can be used in formation of new bone in areas of bone deficit. Aim of this study was to see for alveolar bone regeneration in regions where there was no bone with the help orthodontically tooth movements.
