Summary

The use of corticotomy surgery in addition to orthodontic standard treatment could accelerate the treatment. Corticotomy involves vertical interdental incisions of the gingiva and the bone with a very low thickness. Orthodontic appliances are placed immediately after the surgery.

This study aims to compare the tooth movement when correcting mandibular dental crowding in two groups of patients:

Test group: orthodontic treatment and minimally invasive corticotomy surgery. Control group: standard orthodontic treatment without surgery.

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Test group with corticotomy surgery

The surgery of corticotomy is performed with a piezo electric device and a personalized surgical guide just before the placement of orthodontic appliance. The initial impressions of the patient's dental arch as well as its three-dimensional radiography (CBCT) are used to create a perfectly adapted guide for minimally invasive corticotomy surgery. The incisions are made between the roots of: * the second premolars and first premolars, * the first lower premolars and canines, * the canines and lateral incisors, * the lateral incisors and central incisors, and, * the two lower central incisors.
