Factors Affecting Predictability of Buccal Bone Augmentation in Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Treatment: Etiological Considerations

Stuart Beauchamp et al. Compend Contin Educ Dent. 2020 Jan.

Abstract

Pre-orthodontic surgical techniques such as surgically facilitated orthodontic treatment (SFOT) are intended to increase bone volume while reducing the incidence of induced gingival recession. SFOT aims to enhance and thicken the periodontal biotype, including both hard and soft tissue, and facilitate accelerated tooth movement through the induction of the regional acceleratory phenomenon. This article reviews different variables and critical etiological factors that may affect the predictability of generating buccal bone during SFOT and should be diagnosed and addressed prior to combined surgical-orthodontic treatment. In addition, optional modifications to enhance regenerative outcomes of SFOT will be discussed.
