Corticotomy and compression osteogenesis in the posterior maxilla for treating severe anterior open bite

Treatment outcome analysis of speedy surgical orthodontics for adults with maxillary protrusion

“…20 Frost's regional acceleratory phenomenon effect is, of course, also applied to corticotomy-facilitated orthodontics and speedy surgical orthodontics. [13][14][15][16][17][18]27,28 More specifically, after the speedy surgical orthodontics 3 to 6 months of the orthopedic retraction phase, the final phase of treatment is geared toward detailing the occlusion through conventional orthodontic forces and biomechanics. This orthodontic phase typically occurs in the regional acceleratory phenomenon's effective time frame, enabling the facilitated tooth movement.…”

“…Expanding on the concept of Suya 11 to shorten conventional orthodontic treatment, Lee et al, 13 Chung et al, [14][15][16] Chung, 17 and Kanno et al 18 introduced the novel concept of "speedy surgical orthodontics," which involved a perisegmental corticotomy, a C-palatal miniplate, and a C-palatal retractor as key components in treating maxillary protrusion for adults. Although both speedy surgical orthodontics and corticotomyfacilitated orthodontics use a perisegmental corticotomy, in the former technique, the corticotomized bone block includes 6 maxillary anterior teeth instead of a single tooth.…”

Severe bimaxillary protrusion with adult periodontitis treated by corticotomy and compression osteogenesis

“…This protocol takes advantage of the concept of compression osteogenesis (CO) in the corticotomized segment during orthopedic traction and is usually performed under local anesthesia. 16,17,20 CO is performed by compressing two cut bone surfaces together after corticotomy. According to Kawakami et al's animal study, after coroticotomy, there was an increase in the number of cells, the irregularity of functional arrangement of cells and fibers, the amount of bone resorption and apposition, and the width of sutures.…”

“…[16][17][18] The force applied after the corticotomy is heavier than the typical orthodontic force, since the goal is to move the block of bone that has been circumscribed by compression osteogenesis rather than moving teeth through the bone. 19,20 "Compression osteogenesis" first named by Chung is described as histologic changes through orthopedic traction forces to a corticotomized segment. The medullar bone around the anterior teeth can be easily bent by the retraction force if the cortical layer between the basal and alveolar bones is removed.…”

Tooth Movement in Demineralized Area by Etchant in Rabbits

“…While laser therapy is effective at certain wavelengths, some cases showed reverse effects and tooth movement may be suppressed when accompanied with surgical treatment [7][8][9] . In view of these limitations, surgical approaches to facilitate tooth movement are gaining interest [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] .…”
