Corticotomies are now an integral part of the orthodontist's therapeutic arsenal in adult orthodontics. In recent years, the number of publications about different surgical techniques has increased significantly. This shows that practitioners and patients have a common interest. It is now accepted that corticotomies cause a regional acceleratory phenomenon, which enables a faster dental movement, a reduction in treatment time, as well as a reduction in the risk of root resorption. The perspective of osteogenesis induced by corticotomies has already been mentioned in literature. It could provide a real advantage in maintaining the periodontium, reducing the risk of fenestration or dehiscence and the stability of long-term treatment by increasing the dental bone envelope. Through a clinical case, treated by mini- invasive surgical technique (as described in the previous article), we highlight the potential for osteogenesis induced by alveolar corticotomies and the utility of this procedure in adults.
