Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics: A narrative review

Abstract

The orthodontic patient has evolved in recent years, leaving an important place for adult patients. These patients most often require special management, they are demanding aesthetic orthodontic treatments, but also shorter. The acceleration of orthodontic movement has long been sought for its multiple potential contributions, including the reduction of treatment time, a reduction of side effects linked to the maintenance of orthodontic equipment in the oral cavity (such as bacterial plaque retention, root resorption, and the open spaces of the gingival embrasure), an improved tooth movement envelope, differential tooth movement, and improved stability after treatment. Numerous surgical techniques have been developed to speed up orthodontic movements. The aim of this study was to review the current literature regarding the periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics technique.
