Abstract

Adequate alveolar bone volume is a prerequisite condition for successful orthodontic tooth movement and posttreatment stability. Mandibular anterior teeth are more likely to exhibit dehiscence and fenestration in adult patients, which make orthodontic treatment in adults challenging, especially when the amount of retraction of the anterior teeth is large. Herein, we report the treatment of augmented corticotomy only on the lingual side in the mandibular anterior region to increase the volume of soft and hard tissue assisting orthodontics in a Class I bialveolar protrusive malocclusion and propose management strategies of mandibular incisor retractions. A 22-year-old female with a chief complaint of protrusive mouth presented to the Department of Orthodontics for orthodontic treatment, diagnosed with Class I bialveolar protrusive. The orthodontic treatment plan involved the extraction of four premolars and extensive retraction of the anterior teeth using microimplant anchorage. In consideration of the fenestration and dehiscence in the mandibular anterior alveolar bone and the pattern of tooth movement, augmented corticotomy was performed on the lingual side combined with bone grafting. Clinical and radiographic evaluation after treatment revealed significant improvements in the facial profile and in periodontal phenotype. Augmented corticotomy assisting orthodontic treatment could be a promising treatment strategy for adult patients with alveolar protrusion to maintain periodontal health.
