Details and patient eligibility

About

This study was designed to enroll a series of 10 consecutive patients who met the inclusion criteria. Patients were treated in the Department of Orthodontics and Dento-Facial Orthodopedics of the University of Liège. Two senior's orthodontists and two senior's periodontists were involved in the orthodontic treatment and in the surgical procedures respectively. All clinical, radiographic and periodontal measurements and all orthodontic parameters were performed at baseline and after the orthodontic treatments. Tree examiners collected the overall data.
