Clinical implications of recent orthodontic-periodontic research findings. 1996

During the past 15 years, advances in basic science related to periodontal biology, and clinical trials on prevention and treatment of periodontal disease, have dramatically changed many treatment concepts in periodontics. The most pertinent information for orthodontic practice from these studies is summarized. Also, recent advances in orthodontics, particularly regarding bonding of attachments to artificial tooth surfaces and improved long-term stabilization of orthodontic treatment results in adults by means of bonded lingual retainers have significant implications. This article outlines how recent research information from both dental specialties may be used by orthodontists to improve treatment planning, clinical management, and retention of their adult and elderly patients in whom different malocclusions are complicated by moderate to advanced periodontal destruction.
