3D-Printed Guides Boost Alveolar Bone Regeneration in PAOO Surgery

Posted: September 2, 2025
A retrospective cohort study compared the use of 3D-printed digital bone grafting guides in Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO) surgery. The study found that patients using the guides showed significantly greater vertical and horizontal bone augmentation immediately postoperatively and at the 12-month follow-up compared to conventional PAOO. The guides improved graft stability, reduced postoperative bone resorption, and enhanced coronal alveolar bone regeneration, particularly in the coronal third of the alveolar bone. This advancement in technology could offer improved outcomes for patients undergoing PAOO procedures, addressing challenges such as graft displacement and membrane collapse.
