Abstract:
With the increase of adult patients seeking for orthodontic treatment, the influence of periodontal tissue on orthodontic treatment has gradually become the focus. For patients with periodontitis, it is essential to controlling the severity of periodontitis prior to orthodontic treatment. Periodontal disease can cause additional bone loss and make the orthodontic treatment complicated. Reducing the risk of orthodontic treatment in this situation is our major concern. In addition to periodontitis, orthodontic treatment may also cause gingival recession. On the other hand, the alveolar bone defects such as bone fenestration and bone dehiscence are common in some patients without periodontitis. For these patients, we should take more care of the interrelationship between bone defects and orthodontic treatment. This article briefly demonstrates the risk considerations of periodontal supporting tissue in orthodontic therapy focusing on the influence of periodontitis, gingival recession and alveolar bone fenestration and dehiscence.
