Orthodontic Procedures that Improve the Periodontal Prognosis

“Spontaneous” repositioning of migrated teeth following periodontal surgery

“…Many articles deal with the subject of orthodontic treatment as part of comprehensive periodontal therapy (Shapiro 1956, Stern 1958, Chasens 1979, Swanson & Rosenberg 1980, Wagenberg et al 1980. In spite of this, there seems to be confusion as to the appropriate tirning for orthodontic intervention.…”

“…However, there is not enough scientific evidence to support this concept. It has been demonstrated that uprighting of tilted molars may result in improvement of intraosseous defects (Brown 1973, Wagenberg et al 1980), but these cases present a unique situation where the initial event is tilting of the teeth and the osseous lesion is secondary to plaque accumulation on the tilted side. In these cases, uprighting moves the teeth away from the lesion, whereas in cases of pathologic migration due to periodontal breakdown, orthodontic repositioning of the teeth is directed towards the lesion.…”

Guided Tissue Regeneration and Orthodontics. A Review of the Literature

“…Such treatment permits us to prevent alveolar ridge augmentation prior to enossal dental-implant placement. A reduction in bony defects using extrusive forces has been introduced a while ago [31,46].…”

“…Eine solche Vorbehandlung könnte unter Umständen eine Kieferkammaugmentation vor der Implantation enossaler Implantate hinfällig machen. Auch wurde schon früh die Möglichkeit dargestellt, durch eine kieferorthopä-dische Extrusion einen ossären Defekt zu reduzieren [31,46].…”

Wechselwirkungen zwischen Parodontologie und der kieferorthopädischen Behandlung Erwachsener

“…Die orthodontische Aufrichtung gekippter Molaren trägt entscheidend zur Verbesserung der parodontalen und präprotheti-schen Situation bei [7,25,37,40,41] (Abb. 9).…”
