Abstract Objective To compare the effects of micro‐osteoperforations (MOPs) vs piezocision (Piezo) in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement adults. Setting and Sample Population In this randomized, single‐blinded, parallel‐group, split‐mouth clinical trial, 24 patients aged 15‐40 years were recruited. Subjects Methods Patients randomly allocated into two groups: MOPs Piezo groups. One side maxilla was for treatment with one these techniques, other treated conventionally to act as a control. The rate canine retraction evaluated up 3 months by three‐dimensional digital models using conventional labial appliance. Root resorption bone height cone beam computed tomography. Results groups showed significantly higher after on experimental sides than control sides. However, net movements did not reveal movement. Similarly, overall −0.32 ± 1.14 ‐0.55 0.89 mm Piezo, respectively ( P = .606). Regarding root resorption, changes intra‐ or intergroup comparisons insignificant. Decreased palatal reported group .015) months, but Conclusions effect techniques comparable each other, methods. Neither technique caused increased vertical loss.
