It can be used in a proactive or reactive role as an orthodontic case is executed. This article focuses on the latter application, calling in MOP to speed up or "save" cases already in progress. Since the publication of the original research on manual osteoperforation performed at New York University,1 the clinical application and acceptance by practitioners of the system has grown significantly.2 It has proven to be useful in both proactive and reactive clinical applications for orthodontic cases being treated with fixed brackets or clear aligners. The reactive application is especially interesting to me, because it can put an orthodontic case back on track toward a more successful and expedited conclusion, thus saving time, money and reputations. Educational objectives At the end of this program, participants will be able to: 1. Understand the difference between proactive and reactive use of manual osteoperforation (MOP) 2. Know which orthodontic movements are commonly involved in making a case lag 3. Understand the targeted use of MOP for specific areas, and anchorage requirements 4. Appreciate the efficiency, economic and reputation-saving advantages of MOP 5. Feel confident about when, where and how to apply MOP in a reactive role AGD Code: XXX This print or PDF course is a written self-instructional article with adjunct images and is designated for 1.5 hours of CE credit by Farran Media.
