Bilateral Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics as Adjuvant Therapy for Patient with Skeletal Class Ⅲ Malocclusion: A 4-Year Follow-Up Case Report

doi:10.13701/j.cnki.kqyxyj.2025.11.016

Abstract

Abstract: Patients with skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion typically need combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment for complex morphological and functional issues, and the "thin-scalloped" periodontal phenotype further complicates this treatment. Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) significantly improves the safety and feasibility of such combined treatment. This article presents a 4-year follow-up of a skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion patient who underwent bilateral PAOO as auxiliary therapy. Results demonstrated that PAOO notably reduced the treatment risk, increased buccal and lingual bone thickness in the surgical area, deepened the vestibular sulcus, maintained long-term stable therapeutic effects, and caused no complications like infection or gingival recession.

Key words: periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics, bilateral, skeletal class Ⅲ malocclusion, combined orthodontic-orthognathic treatment
