Compression Osteogenesis
Conditions
Brief summary
The technique of compression osteogenesis will be studied to verify its value as applied to manage anterior vertical maxillary excess in patients wohm are suffering from gummy smile.
Interventions
PROCEDURECorticotomy followed by compression osteogenesis
Surgical corticotomy supra apical in anterior maxilla then application of the compression osteogenesis concept via traction on miniscrews implanted above the corticotomy line

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Measuring amount of vertical impaction of anterior maxilla after performing labial maxillary cotricotomy and activation of functional loading | 3 months | Measuring amount of linear impaction (in millimeters) to evaluate validity of compression osteogenesis in treating gummy smile of a skeletal etiology ( due to increased anterior maxilla height) after performing labia maxillary corticotomy and activating functional loading using power chain elastics anchored on transmucosal mini- screws. |
