Abstract
ABSTRACT
Wilckodontics is also known as periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO). The periodontium is a dynamic tissue and regulation of its remodeling gives an edge in the traditional orthodontic treatment. The synergistic effort from the periodontic and orthodontic fields in the PAOO technique can shorten the conventional orthodontic treatment time to 3 to 9 months. This technique has roots in orthopedics, dating back to the early 1900s. Only recently, it was modified to assist in straightening teeth and fix bites. This article will help you to understand the indications, contraindications and the technicalities of Wilckodontics.
