Alveolar bone exostoses following orthodontic treatment. Diagnostic considerations and clinical management

Alveolar bone exostoses (ABE) are benign localized convex outgrowths of buccal or lingual bone, which could be delineated from the surrounding cortical plate, also known as a buttress bone formation. Our review and case series demonstrate the development of alveolar bone exostoses during orthodontic...

Description
Summary:Alveolar bone exostoses (ABE) are benign localized convex outgrowths of buccal or lingual bone, which could be delineated from the surrounding cortical plate, also known as a buttress bone formation. Our review and case series demonstrate the development of alveolar bone exostoses during orthodontic therapy. It is crucial to keep in mind that every case presented had a history of palatal tori. In our clinical observations, higher precedence of ABE development was seen in participants during incisor retraction, especially with preexisting palatal tori. Additionally, we have successfully demonstrated surgical techniques to eliminate ABE in the event that self‐remission does not occur once orthodontic forces are discontinued. Alveolar bone exostoses (ABE) are benign localized convex outgrowths of buccal or lingual bone from the cortical plate, often known as buttress bone development. Our review and case series shows ABE following orthodontic treatment. In case self‐remission fails after orthodontic forces are removed, we have shown surgical methods to correct ABE.
