Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics and conventional orthodontics. A clinico-comparative trial

Abstract

BackgroundPeriodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics found to be effective in accelerating orthodontic treatment. Proper case selection and careful surgical and orthodontic treatment is very important. This technique accelerates the tooth movement while maintaining the integrity of the periodontium. The aim of this paper is to present rapid and effective periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) treatment in comparison to conventional orthodontics. MethodsSubjects diagnosed with angle class II, div. I malocclusion with healthy periodontium were included. After initial orthodontic alignment and leveling PAOO advocated for comprehensive fixed orthodontic appliances in conjunction with full thickness flaps with labial and lingual corticotomies around teeth to be moved in was performed. Bone graft (demineralized freezed dried bone allograft (DFDBA)) was applied directly over the bone cuts and flaps sutured. Tooth movement was initiated two weeks after the surgery, with activation of orthodontic appliance every 2 weeks ResultsOrthodontic treatment time with this technique reduced to nearly one-third the time of conventional orthodontics. ConclusionAlveolar augmentation were used in an effort to enhance and strengthen the periodontium, reasoning that the addition of bone to alveolar housing, ensures root coverage as the dental arch expanded. Controlled clinical and histological studies are needed to understand the biology of tooth movement, the effect on teeth and bone, post-retention stability, and determining the status of the periodontium and roots after treatment.
