Summary

This study was designed to enroll a series of 10 consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria. Patients were treated in the Department of Orthodontics and Dento-Facial Orthodopedics of the University of Liège. Two senior's orthodontists and two senior's periodontists were involved in the orthodontic treatment and in the surgical procedures respectively. All clinical, radiographic and periodontal measurements and all orthodontic parameters were performed at baseline and after the orthodontic treatments. Tree examiners collected the overall data.

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Piezocision combined minimally invasive alveolar bone regeneration	The piezocision surgery was performed two weeks after orthodontic appliance placement. The patients received local anesthesia in mandibular arch and vertical interproximal incisions were made below the interdental papillae in the midline, from the mesial aspect of each canine and in between each of the posterior lower teeth. The periostium was then released in order to create two subperiotal envelopes connecting the vertical incisions together. Thereafter, corticotomies were performed in the region of the incisions with a piezotome (Acteon, Merignac, France) and the envelopes were filled with a beta tricalcium phosphate, a resorbable biomaterial in order to thicken the buccal bone plate. Resorbable 5-0 sutures were used to close the flaps. Careful tooth brushing and the use of a mouthwash (chlorhexidine 0.2% Perio-Aid, Dentaid Benelux, Houten, Netherlands) were recommended for 7 days.
