Summary:Corticotomy is a surgical procedure that allows cutting, perforating or mechanically altering the cortical bone, without really affecting the medullary bone and promoting tooth movement. This technique has yielded exceptional results and can be used satisfactorily in orthodontic treatment. Objective: To evaluate and compile the available scientific evidence that supports the application of corticotomy and its efficacy during orthodontic treatment as an alternative to accelerate tooth movement, as well as its indications, advantages, contraindications and adverse effects. Methodology: The search for articles was carried out in electronic databases included such as: PubMed, Google Scholar, Sciencedirect, Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source and Scielo. The review included 22 articles that meet the inclusion criteria and allow a simple and clear understanding. Conclusion: Corticotomy allows to obtain better results and in less time possible in orthodontic treatment by applying its different techniques compared to the conventional technique, prior to the orthodontic procedure, it is necessary to carry out a thorough evaluation of the specific needs of each patient, as well as the expectations of the treatment. Although corticotomy is a promising technique, the scientific evidence is still low to support its effectiveness. La corticotomía consiste en un procedimiento quirúrgico que permite cortar, perforar o alterar mecánicamente el hueso cortical, sin afectar realmente el hueso medular y favorecer el movimiento dental. Dicha técnica ha otorgado resultados excepcionales y puede ser empleada de manera satisfactoria en el tratamiento ortodóntico. Objetivo : Evaluar y recopilar la evidencia científica disponible que respalde la aplicación de la corticotomía y su eficacia durante el tratamiento de ortodoncia como una alternativa para facilitar el movimiento dental, así como sus indicaciones, ventajas, contraindicaciones y efectos adversos. Metodología : La búsqueda de artículos se realizó en bases de datos electrónicos incluidos como: PubMed, Google Académico, Sciencedirect, Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source y Scielo. En la revisión se incluyeron 22 artículos que cumplen con los criterios de inclusión y permiten una comprensión sencilla y clara. Conclusión : La corticotomía permite obtener mejores resultados y en menor tiempo posible en el tratamiento ortodóntico aplicando sus diferentes técnicas en comparación con la técnica convencional, previo al procedimiento ortodóncico, es necesario realizar una evaluación minuciosa de las necesidades específicas de cada paciente, así como las expectativas del tratamiento. A pesar de que la corticotomía sea una técnica prometedora, la evidencia científica aún es baja que respalde su efectividad.    Corticotomy consists of a surgical procedure that allows cutting, drilling, or mechanically altering the cortical bone, without actually affecting the medullary bone and favoring tooth movement. This technique has provided exceptional results and can be used satisfactorily in orthodontic treatment. Objective: To evaluate and compile the available scientific evidence that supports the application of corticotomy and its effectiveness during orthodontic treatment as an alternative to facilitate tooth movement, as well as its indications, advantages, contraindications, and adverse effects. Methodology: The search for articles was done in electronic databases including PubMed, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source, and Scielo. 22 articles that meet the inclusion criteria and allow a simple and clear understanding were included in the review. Conclusion: Corticotomy allows for better results and the shortest possible time in orthodontic treatment by applying its different techniques compared to the conventional method. Before the orthodontic procedure, it is necessary to carry out a thorough evaluation of the specific needs of each patient, as well as the treatment expectations. Although corticotomy is a promising technique, there is still little scientific evidence to support its effectiveness.   A corticotomia é um procedimento cirúrgico que permite cortar, perfurar ou alterar mecanicamente o osso cortical, sem afetar o osso medular e favorecendo a movimentação dentária. Essa técnica tem apresentado resultados excepcionais e pode ser utilizada com sucesso no tratamento ortodôntico. Objetivo: avaliar e compilar as evidências científicas disponíveis que suportam a aplicação da corticotomia e sua efetividade durante o tratamento ortodôntico como alternativa para acelerar a movimentação dentária, bem como suas indicações, vantagens, contraindicações e efeitos adversos. Metodologia: A pesquisa de artigos foi realizada em bases de dados electrónicas, incluindo: PubMed, Google Scholar, Sciencedirect, Dentistry and Oral Sciences Source e Scielo. A revisão incluiu 22 artigos que preencheram os critérios de inclusão e permitiram uma compreensão simples e clara. Conclusão: a corticotomia permite a obtenção de melhores resultados no menor tempo possível no tratamento ortodôntico, aplicando suas diferentes técnicas em relação à técnica convencional, sendo necessário, previamente ao procedimento ortodôntico, realizar uma avaliação criteriosa das necessidades específicas de cada paciente, bem como das expectativas do mesmo. Embora a corticotomia seja uma técnica promissora, ainda existem poucas evidências científicas que comprovem a sua eficácia.
