Advancement in periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics: Exploring the synergy between periodontal and orthodontic treatment – A case report

Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) is a surgical technique that merges targeted corticotomy, particle grafting, and appropriate orthodontic forces. This approach shortens treatment duration, enhances tooth stability, and prevents the relapse of tooth movement. By leveraging the regional acceleratory phenomenon, PAOO promotes faster orthodontic tooth movement and improves the healing process of bone. It also increases the width of the alveolar bone, reduces the overall treatment time, enhances post-treatment stability, and minimizes the risk of dehiscence. The focus of this case study was to gauge the therapeutic effects of this surgical procedure alongside soft and hard-tissue augmentation in a patient undergoing treatment for orthodontic malocclusion.
