A comparative clinical research has been made to prove if magnet forces can be superior to mechanical forces for tooth movement. Six dogs went through a distalazing movement of their lower premolars on one side with a magnet system and on the other side with a mechanical system producing similar forces. A histological analysis of the moved premolars has showed a more important rate of osteoclasts and a reduction of the hyalinisation area with the magnet system.
