Background: Ultrasound in the form of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) has found various applications in medical therapies including bone healing. Orthodontic tooth movement is a lengthy procedure owing to the slow process of bone remodelling. Various pharmacological aids have been utilized in accelerating this tooth movement. Aim: This study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of LIPUS in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement. Material and Methods: This case-control study was conducted on thirty young adults undergoing orthodontic treatment. LIPUS was applied to the right maxillary quadrant at two week intervals whereas the left maxillary quadrant was considered as control. The amount of space closure was measured at the beginning of treatment, one month and three months after beginning of treatment. Data was entered in excel sheet and statistical analysis done. Results: LIPUS showed a significant acceleration in orthodontic tooth movement when compared to non-treatment side. Conclusion: LIPUS can be used as an effective tool in reducing the duration of orthodontic treatment by accelerating the rate of tooth movement.
