1/12 - Initial view of the clinical case: Class III malocclusion
Treatment plan: Regenerative corticotomy (PAOO)

2/12 - Pre-op x-ray reveals skeletal class III.

3/12 - Dehiscence defect and thin buccal plate.

-
4/12 - PAOO protocol includes a surgical preperation of the cortical bone which can be performed with rotary instruments or piezo-electric scalpels.

5/12 - A layer of cerabone® applied -as reliable and volume stable bone substitute.

-
6/12 - mucoderm® acting as a barrier membrane and as a soft tissue graft. The combination of hard and soft tissue grafting increases the bone regeneration and the soft tissue thickness. Thus, enhancing the clinical outcome.

7/12 - Primary closure of the area is ensured by coronally positioning the flap. Mobilization of the flap is obtained undermining the periostium at the base of the flap.

-
8/12 - Two weeks post-op showing excellent augmentation of the area and some minor marginal gingival inflammation.

9/12 - Frontal view: Before and after orthodontics, orthognatic surgery and periodontal therapy with the regenerative corticotomy. Repaired recessions and increased thickness of gingiva.

-
10/12 - Lateral pre-op and post-op view: Evident change in position of the incisors and the augmented vestibular periodontium.

-
11/12 - Pre and post-op x-ray reveals counter-clock rotation of the mandibula due to the orthognatic surgery and the vestibular inclination of the incisors due to the orthodontic treatment.

12/12 - Pre and post-op CT showing a great bone volume gain in the lower frontal area. Confirming the augmentation of not only the soft tissue, but also of the hard tissue components.
