Abstract
There is a growing prevalence of crooked teeth, also jaws are getting smaller and bone less dense and soft tissues with lower quality in the last centuries. This brings to the problems of using orthodontic tools because there is no space. Corticotomy was used with different rates of success with the goal to accelerate orthodontic movement. But not a well-defined protocol has been proposed. This brought the need to compile one in order to fill this gap. The story of this kind treatment procedure is detailed in the lecture both orthodontic and surgical. A review to up to date literature and results achieved are also explained. Using critical rationalism and analytical commentary, is to chronicle the historical techniques, which have evolved into orthodontic tissue engineering and stem cell therapy, and, first, synthesize redoubtable 21st century biology into a protocol that is compatible with any style of traditional biomechanics. We will scientifically address the problem and offer solutions to it. We present a 10+ years clinical study using the corticotomy procedure combined with Blood’s Concentrated Growth Factors and “Sticky Bone” and/or “Sticky Tooth”, a modified PAOO approach from Dr. Edlira Baruti and Dr. Gurien Demiraqi. A well-defined protocol including indications, treatment plan and results expected. We are presenting the results with our protocol with a total treatment time of 4-12 months. The follow is up to 5+ years. It consists of clinical and CBCT control.
