Periodontally accelerated osteogenic orthodontics (PAOO), also known as Wilckodontics, is a clinical procedure that combines corticotomy (a surgical technique in which the bone is cut, perforated, or mechanically altered), particulate bone grafting, and orthodontic force application. By this procedure, the teeth can be made to move through the bone rapidly by means of harnessing and stimulating the innate potential of the bone and utilizing tissue engineering principles. Once the tooth movement gets completed, bone rebuilds around the tooth, thereby reducing the time of orthodontic treatment from years to months. This article aims to present a comprehensive review about PAOO or Wilckodontics.
