Item Osseous outgrowth on the buccal maxilla associated with piezosurgery-assisted en-masse retraction: A case series(2018) Tuncer, Nilufer Irem; Arman-Ozcirpici, Ayca; Oduncuoglu, Bahar Fusun; Kantarci, Alpdogan; 0000-0002-9250-3689; 29291189; AAH-5405-2020; AAQ-4792-2020Piezoelectric surgery is a novel surgical approach used in orthodontic treatment for rapid tooth movement. This paper presents a case series wherein osseous outgrowths were observed in response to piezosurgery-assisted en-masse retraction. Sixteen patients requiring upper premolar extractions were treated with miniscrew-supported en-masse retraction and received minimally invasive decortication via piezosurgery. Computed tomography (CT) of the maxillary anterior region was performed to investigate the nature of the outgrowths. In 8 of the 16 patients, hemispheric or disc-shaped osseous outgrowths were observed on the sites where piezosurgery was performed during retraction. CT images revealed that these outgrowths were alveolar bone. This case series presents a previously unreported osseous response to piezosurgery-assisted tooth movement during orthodontic treatment. The response is mostly transient and is observed in 50% of the treated patients, suggesting a bone turnover that can be assessed clinically and radiographically.
