Due to the overwhelming desire among adults for shorter orthodontic treatment times, there is a growing trend in research that focuses on accelerating procedures for tooth movement. Unfortunately, lengthy orthodontic treatment times come with a number of adverse effects, including an increased risk of tooth decay, gingival recession, and root resorption. Finding the greatest way to maximize tooth motion with the least drawbacks is now more important than ever. The surgical method provides the most dependable results, but its invasiveness limits its use. Corticotomy is one of the commonly used techniques in practice for acceleration of orthodontic tooth movement. Numerous corticotomy methods have been successful in causing accelerated tooth movement. Through the use of these approaches, local acceleratory phenomena are activated, fostering an ideal milieu for tooth movement acceleration. In order to expedite orthodontic tooth movement while adhering to a specified surgical and orthodontic regimen, the piezocision treatment appears to be the ideal compromise. In cases of dehiscence and/or fenestration on the alveolar bone linked to moderate to severe overcrowding, piezocision surgery enables the inclusion of biomaterials. Low-level laser therapy and orthognathic surgery-first are also methods used to accelerate tooth motion among various others. However, further research should be done to ascertain the optimal way to accelerate tooth movement because each approach has benefits and drawbacks. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about methods and technology used to accelerate dental movements in orthodontic treatments..
It is the responsibility of orthodontists to diagnose periodontal issues and address the multidisciplinary therapy of various periodontal issues needing orthodontic therapy. Adults can be quickly and effectively screened for periodontal disorders using the periodontal screening and recording technique. It condenses the information into the basic essential paperwork. An orthopantomograph which is useful for basic scanning, is used by most orthodontists. Plaque, subgingival calculus, and occlusal trauma are some of the etiologic variables that are the focus of preorthodontic periodontal therapy. A customized home-care program is part of the initial phase of periodontal treatment. Before beginning orthodontic therapy, the periodontist should assess sites of minimally attached gingiva. Grafting may be necessary for teeth with gingiva less than 2 mm thick. The conventional techniques for root covering were gingival and pedicle grafting. The type of defect, such as a crater, hemiseptal defect, three-walled defect, and/or furcation lesion, will determine the amount of the osseous repair. The bone level may have moved back several millimeters from the cementoenamel junction in a patient who has experienced extensive horizontal bone loss. To correct the disparities, periodontal surgery might be necessary. The patient must continue on a three-month periodontal maintenance program once orthodontic treatment is finished. After the release of the band, it may take up to six months for appropriate bone remodeling, the termination of mobility, and the constriction of the periodontal ligaments to occur.
Quality of life is described as an individual’s perception of well-being that is derived from contentment or discontentment with the aspects of life that are valuable to them. Health related quality of life is a performance indicator for studying individuals or populations as well as in public health surveillance. The increasing demand for scales to estimate oral health-related quality of life has resulted in the creation of multiple instruments. Oral Health Impact Profile is among the most frequently utilized tools to gauge individuals’ perceptions of the psychosocial effect of dental conditions on their overall well-being. Dentofacial deformity are facial and dental disproportionalities major enough to substantially impact the person’s quality of life. The condition is regarded as a handicap, due to its functional and social impact on the individual’s life, stemming from aberrations in the dental and facial components that distinguish them enough to necessitate wide range of lifestyle adjustments. Also, individuals with such deformities encounter challenges due to poor self-esteem and reduced self-confidence levels along with physiological issues. Female patients are significantly more predisposed to temporomandibular joint pain, headache, dyspnea, and presence of detrimental habits. A perception of social stigma, abandonment and segregation, challenges in interrelationships including problems in starting and progressing companionship, restrictions in everyday tasks, and difficulties in professional life and joblessness have been linked with dentofacial deformities related depression, adversely impacting the quality of life of such persons. Although these individuals choose to undergo orthodontic and orthognathic rehabilitation for the enhancements in physical appearance and physiological functions, the expectation of the psychosocial advantages like personality transformation, improved interpersonal relationships, and self-esteem is a crucial driver for this treatment decision.
One of the most commonly utilized plain film tomographic scans is the orthopantomogram. Dentists frequently request an OPG as a screening tool. Due to its accurate depiction of the jaws and entire dentition, it is also a powerful diagnostic instrument for determining pathology such as dental disease, cysts, maxillofacial trauma, and dental emergencies. For patients of pediatric age and adults, the examination of the masticatory normal anatomy during OPG differs. The adult tooth's radiographic anatomy, which is accessible by OPT, lacks the same level of granularity as the radiographic anatomy assessed by intraoral radiographs. Even though resolution is not as precise as intra-oral radiographs for the examination of the teeth, major alterations in the calcification of the tooth structure and alterations in the maxillary and mandibular ossifications can help identify dental disease, like caries (decay), periodontal bone resorption, abscessual lesions and cyst formation. The main anatomical characteristics of an OPG are described in this article, along with some typical pathologies that might be present. Unless a methodical technique is adopted to explore the structures present, the viewer may find the vast amount of data visible on an OPG to be overwhelming. As the mandibular plane and dentition are distorted due to straightening of the curve, the observer is presented with a broader view of these structures but requires them to be reinterpreted to enable the observer to fully appreciate the image in three dimensions.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
