Abstract
Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) in an everyday perio-ortho practice Orthodontic patients may benefit from a new surgical technique, Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO). This procedure requires selective alveolar corticotomies and bone grafting a few days after the initiation of orthodontic treatment. This technique may decrease the duration of orthodontic treatment time by more than 50%, reduce root resorption, attenuate relapse and significantly increase alveolar bone support. Rapid orthodontic tooth movement is induced via the surgically-induced regional acceleratory phenomenon (RAP) resulting in an increase in the rate of bone remodeling locally. In this presentation, cases will be reviewed and experiences with PAOO for the past 9 years will be shared.
