Alveolar ridge expansion-assisted orthodontic space closure in the mandibular posterior region [PDF]
The Korean Journal of Orthodontics, 2013 Orthodontic closure of old, edentulous spaces in the mandibular posterior region is a major challenge. In this report, we describe a method of orthodontic closure of edentulous spaces in the mandibular posterior region accelerated by piezoelectric decortication and alveolar ridge expansion. Combined piezosurgical and orthodontic treatments were used to
