Abstract:

The demand for adult orthodontic treatment is increasing, yet patients often face challenges such as prolonged treatment duration and elevated risks of periodontal complications. Periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics(PAOO), which combines corticotomy with bone grafting, leverages the regional acceleratory phenomenon(RAP) to shorten treatment time, improve the periodontal phenotype, reduce the risk of fenestration and dehiscence, and enhance post-orthodontic stability. This article systematically reviews the developmental history of PAOO and the characteristics of various surgical techniques, and summarizes the procedural workflow. Integrating evidence from the literature with clinical practice, we provide recommendations on key clinical decision-making issues, including indications, selection of bone graft materials, use of barrier membranes, timing of soft tissue augmentation and management of surgical complications, with the aim of informing the standardized clinical application of PAOO.

Key words: periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics, periodontal phenotype, clinical decision-making, management of complications, orthodontic treatment
