Bone regeneration after alveolar dehiscence due to orthodontic tooth movement – A case report

Abstract: This article presents the orthodontic treatment of a 15 year old male patient with an Angle class I malocclusion with a class II skeletal base, lower incisor proclination along with a hyperdivergent facial pattern. Such situations that involve camouflage treatment, usually results in further lower incisor proclination which can be reduced to an extent by adding buccal root torque. Placement of additional torque in this case however, resulted in positioning of the root apex of the lower right lateral incisor ou… Show more

“…However, adding extra labial root torque to the lower incisors to prevent proclination may well have caused further dehiscence and recession and was thus not performed. 17 In hindsight, a pretreatment gingival graft may have been indicated. 18 Facial convexity decreased 8°, the upper lip was retruded by 3.2 mm, and the lower lip protruded 2.8 mm.…”

“…Furthermore, the torque movement by lingualization of the tooth showed an increased bone apposition. 19,20 Proclination of the anterior teeth is usually performed in orthodontics to camouflage certain malocclusion characteristics. Proclination movement rarely produces gingival recession, in such a condition that it does not exceed an acceptable limit (no more than 10 degree).…”
