Abstract :

The systematic interdisciplinary treatment approach is shared by several dental specalities especially periodontics.. Also, orthodontic treatment frequently results in undesirable periodontal changes since the teeth are confined to the nonflexible alveolar bone. To accelerate the tooth movement the orthodontists and the periodontists together have worked out a success formula which is termed Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO) or this method has been suggested to enhance tooth movement and, consequently, reduces orthodontic treatment time as a whole. This method not only enhances the width of the alveolar bone but also decreases the duration of the treatment and chances of apical root resoption, reducing the chances of relapse. Thus, this article attempts to review the historical perspective of these therapeutic approaches, discusses the biological reasons underlying its use, mentions its main indications and contraindications and its modifications
