Abstract: Objective: Review the cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) of patients undergoing periodontal corticotomy regenerative surgery (PCRS) in the mandibular anterior teeth before the operation, 3 months after the operation and 1 year after the operation to evaluate the effect of surgery on the increase of the labial alveolar bone. Methods: Review the CBCT of patients undergoing PCRS in the mandibular anterior teeth before operation, 3 months after operation and 1 year after operation. Measure the root length, the distance between the cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) and the alveolar crest and the thickness of labial alveolar bone at the points which 4mm, 7mm and 9mm away from CEJ and compare the differences of each index at the three time points. Results: PCRS of the mandibular anterior teeth had no significant effect on root length (p> 0.05). Compared with preoperative, the distance from alveolar crest to CEJ was significantly reduced at 3 months and 1 year after operation (p< 0.05) and the distance from the alveolar ridge crest to CEJ increased at 1 year after surgery compared with 3 months after surgery (p< 0.05). Compared with preoperative, the thickness of labial alveolar bone increased significantly at the points which 4mm, 7mm and 9mm away from CEJ at 3 months and 1 year after surgery (p< 0.05). Conclusion: PCRS has a significant effect on the increase of alveolar bone thickness on the labial side of the mandibular anterior teeth, and has important clinical significance for orthodontic treatment of the mandibular anterior teeth.
