Abstract:
The purpose of this journal review is to analyze the relationship between orthodontic tooth movement and periodontal health. During orthodontic treatment, tooth is moved into several movements, tooth is being intruded, extruded or up righted. Orthodontic treatment force induce an inflammatory reaction in the periodontium. This response is needed for orthodontic tooth movement. Orthodontic appliances may compromise oral hygiene conditions, leading to more bacterial formation. The equilibrium of microbial biofilms, immunological, and inflammatory host responses controls the course of periodontal disease. It is currently uncertain whether the periodontal alterations in orthodontic therapy could be reversible once appliances have been removed. Orthodontists need to understand the pre, during, and post treatment of their orthodontic treatment in relationship with patient’s periodontal health to prevent potentially permanent damages caused by orthodontic appliances. Conclusions: Effective collaboration provides an improved understanding of clinical issues and a better comprehension of the linkages between various disciplines, especially in orthodontics and periodontics. Particularly in patients using fixed appliances and periodontally susceptible individual, dental hygiene guidelines should be carefully observed.
