PAOO Technique for The Bimaxillary Protrusion: A Case Report
Journal Title: Journal of Dental Health and Oral Research - Year 2023, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: Bimaxillary protrusion is a common malocclusion that can lead to functional and aesthetic issues. Conventional orthodontic treatment may not always be effective, and surgical approaches can be invasive. The Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO) technique is a minimally invasive alternative that involves corticotomy and orthodontic treatment. Objective: This case report aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the PAOO technique for the correction of bimaxillary protrusion in a 16-year-old female patient. Methods: The PAOO technique involved corticotomy and piezocision on a 16-year-old female patient undergoing orthodontic treatment with a fixed appliance. The patient was being followed up for 18 months after orthodontic appliance placement with premolars extractions but did not get any favorable result and was referred by the Department of Orthodontics to undergo corticotomy procedure. The effectiveness of the treatment was evaluated using cephalometric and occlusal analyses. Results: The PAOO technique significantly improved the patient’s skeletal and dental parameters. The maxillary and mandibular incisors were retracted, resulting in a significant improvement in the patient’s profile. The occlusal analysis showed good intercuspation and a stable occlusion. Conclusion: The PAOO technique is a viable option for the correction of bimaxillary protrusion, as it can achieve significant improvements in skeletal and dental parameters with minimal invasiveness. Further studies are needed to validate these findings and compare the PAOO technique with conventional surgical and orthodontic approaches.
