Aim: The aim of this review was to analyze the data in the available literature regarding aspects of periodontally accelerated orthodontic therapy such as reduction in treatment time, variation in surgical techniques, and patient satisfaction. Materials and Methods: An internet-based search was performed for the articles published between January 2008 and August 2018 using keywords periodontal accelerated orthodontic tooth movement, corticotomy, bone grafting, tooth movement, and treatment duration. A total of 84 articles were obtained from MEDLINE and Embase search engines, of which 31 articles were eligible to be included for the systematic review. Results: On analysis, it was observed that the earlier studies were predominantly pertaining to case reports. In the later part of the decade considered in this review, it was observed that the emphasis was given to clinical and animal studies. Conclusions: Most of the studies included in the review concluded that there was a significant reduction in orthodontic treatment duration using periodontal accelerated techniques compared to conventional orthodontic treatment.

Edentulous spaces can be closed with dental implants, prosthesis, and orthodontic space closure. As mandibular bone is dense, protraction of molars is time taking and challenging. Temporary anchorage devices play a vital role in providing anchorage. Translation of molars can be achieved with power arms which are placed near to the centre of resistance. This is a case with bilaterally missing mandibular first molars and lower central incisor. Ridge defect is seen in molar region on right side. Class II molar relation was achieved bilaterally with second molar moving into first molar space followed by the third molar. Translation was achieved bilaterally and 10mm of space closure was done with the help of TAD's and power arms.
