First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested a procedure called Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO) in 20 adults getting braces. The goal was to see if it could prevent bone loss and gum recession on the front of the lower teeth. The procedure combines a small cut in the gum with a bone graft to support the teeth during movement.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: * tooth crowding exceeding a 5mm lack of space (originating from the discrepancy between the overall mesiodostal length of the teeth and the length of the dental arch present at the time of the evaluation) * thin bone morphotype (buccal width of the cortical layer must be under 1mm) * incisor proclination in order to eliminate crowding without compensatory extractions. * informed consent Exclusion Criteria: * ongoing periodontitis * Pregnant women. * Participation in another clinical study within 30 days prior to study start. * Alcoholism, drug dependency, heavy smoking (\>5 cigarettes/day). * Known infection with HIV, HBV, or HCV. * Patients requiring chemo- or radiotherapy. * Previous or current radiotherapy of the head. * Uncontrolled or insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus * Clinically relevant osteoporosis or systemic disease affecting bone metabolism * Clinically relevant cardiovascular disease e.g., decompensated cardiac insufficiency, hemodynamically relevant heart valve defects, or myocardial infarction during the last three months. * Clinically relevant blood coagulation disorder. * Previous or current treatment with systemic corticosteroids (within 2 months prior to screening visit) of more than 5 mg/day prednisone equivalent. * Previous or current therapy with bisphosphonates at least for 30 days within the last 12 months before screening visit
