Bone regeneration after alveolar dehiscence due to orthodontic tooth movement – A case report

Orthodontic tooth movement enhancing bony apposition in alveolar bony defect: a case report

INTRODUCTION Prevalence of complications from orthognathic surgery is relatively low but if it happens it is vital to manage the post complication bony defect appropriately. CASE PRESENTATION This case report describes a 20-year-old gentleman who suffered from a complication from a bimaxillary orthognathic surgery. A bone grafting was carried out to repair the bony defect from the surgery but...

Alveolar Bone Remodeling and Development after Immediate Orthodontic Root Movement

Orthodontic treatment of the adult patient has grown substantially in recent years primarily due to the longevity of natural dentition, an increased awareness of functional benefits of orthodontics and increasing esthetic demands [1]. Compared to the younger patient and in addition to possible malalignment of teeth and jaws, the adult patient will more likely present with a compromised dentitio...

3D Facial Soft Tissue Changes Due to Orthodontic Tooth Movement

Microcracks in the alveolar bone following orthodontic tooth movement: a morphological and morphometric study.

Microcracks and microdamage have been associated with bone remodelling. The aim of this study was to investigate the role of microcracks as a trigger for alveolar bone remodelling after the application of an orthodontic load. In 25 3-month-old male Danish land-race pigs, the lower right first molar was moved buccally with a force of 130 cN. The contralateral molar was not treated and was used a...

Reconstruction of an alveolar cleft for orthodontic tooth movement.

Bone grafting to repair an alveolar cleft has long been an integral part of the treatment of persons with unilateral and bilateral clefts of the lip and alveolus. The presence of the cleft places a limitation on the orthodontist who would like to move teeth in the area of the cleft. Various grafting materials have been placed in alveolar clefts in an attempt to solve this problem. The case to b...
