A patient's function, attractiveness, and psychological well-being can all be negatively impacted by malaligned teeth, which makes orthodontic treatment necessary. Due to the extended treatment time, the majority of patients are hesitant to undergo fixed orthodontic therapy. Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO) is one of the new treatment options that have replaced the old treatment paradigm in the current era of interdisciplinary dentistry. The PAOO approach combines alveolar augmentation with a selective decortication-facilitated orthodontic treatment. The Regional Acceleratory Phenomenon (RAP), a pattern of bone healing, is the theoretical foundation for this process, which speeds up orthodontic tooth movement. As a result of PAOO, Alveolar bone width increases, treatment duration is shortened, posttreatment stability is improved, and alveolar bone dehiscence is reduced. The history, biology, clinical surgical techniques, indications, contraindications, and potential risks of the PAOO surgery are all covered in this article.
