In orthodontics, the methods for accelerated tooth movement are increasingly interested in the research
for reducing the effects of the long treatment time. Platelet-rich plasma is a rich source of growth factors, which
are critical in the tissue remodeling process of tooth movement. Moreover, it contains the inflammatory cytokines.
It is known that orthodontic tooth movement can be described as an inflammatory process. Therefore, the application
of platelet rich plasma exhibits a good potential to enhance the rate of tooth movement. Several studies
have been reported the efficient use of platelet rich plasma to increase the rate of tooth movement. The objectives
of this review article are to demonstrate the use of platelet rich plasma in orthodontics and its effect on orthodontic
tooth movement.
