Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics combined with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2: An outcome assessment.

Context: Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO) combines alveolar corticotomy, bone graft materials, and the application of orthodontic forces for rapid correction of malocclusions.

Aims: The present study aims to primarily assess differences in orthodontic treatment duration, bone quality around corticotomy sites, postoperative healing, and subjective pain when corticotomy was done conventionally and with the placement of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2).

Settings And Design: Thirty individuals participated in this study.
