Various methods have been proposed like corticotomies, micro-osteoperforations, piezocisions etc. Use of Platelet rich plasma (PRP) has been in vogue in many specialities of medicine , surgery and dentistry owing to its regenerative and healing potential. This lecture will bring under discussion the biological basis of the use of PRP in orthodontics, the preparation and the protocol for its administration and its effect on the rate of orthodontic tooth movement.
