Combined Application of Free Gingival Graft and Periodontally Treatment Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics: A Case Report

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2025.05.016

Abstract

Abstract: This study reports a complex case of stage Ⅱ grade C periodontitis complicated by Miller Class Ⅲ gingival recession and labial bone dehiscence in the anterior regions of both jaws. Through periodontal initial therapy and pre-orthodontic periodontal phenotype modification therapy (free gingival graft, FGG and periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics, PAOO), significant improvement in periodontal supporting tissue conditions was achieved. Orthodontic treatment progressed successfully with concurrent implementation of implant prosthodontics.

Key words: periodontal phenotype, free gingival graft, periodontal accelerated osteogenic orthodontics, periodontal therapy, orthodontics
