Wilckodontics

Wilckodontics is the synergy of periodontics interplaying with orthodontics on the same bony platform. It refines the classic relationship between periodontics and orthodontic specialties by synchronizing interdisciplinancy orthodontic tooth movement with the tissue engineering principles of periodontal regenerative surgery to create rapid orthodontic movement and overcome its side effects. Research into corticotomy assisted orthodontics is still in its infancy. There is a need to move away from the case report and case series of the present and future research should be focused on the well designed and executed randomized clinical trials. Special questions that need answers are related to loss of anchorage the stability of results possible reduction in root resorption and of course further confirmation that the rate of tooth movement is indeed increased.
