Abstract: PURPOSE: To investigate the long-term effect of augmented corticotomy assisted orthodontic treatment for adult patients with moderate to severe periodontitis. METHODS: A joint orthodontic and orthognathic consultation was performed on 3 adult patients diagnosed as moderate to severe periodontitis with an average age of 31 years old. Augmented corticotomy assisted orthodontic treatment and combined periodontal therapy were carried out with long-term follow-up of 2-3 years. RESULTS: Augmented corticotomy assisted orthodontic treatment resulted in normal facial appearances and occlusal relationships without the occurrences of periodontal iatrogenic sequelae. The long-term effect of alveolar augmentation were maintained at the surgical sites. CONCLUSIONS: Augmented corticotomy assisted orthodontic treatment is a promising technique for treatment of adult patients with moderate to severe periodontitis.
