tratamento periodontal

Contribuições do tratamento ortodôntico em pacientes com doenças periodontais

Resumo: INTRODUCTION: The interaction between Orthodontics and Periodontics can contribute efficiently to dental treatment, being able to provide patients with periodontal disease, conditions so that periodontite health can restabilize and restore satisfactory occlusion. REVIEW: The present work proposed to evaluate, through literature review, such as articles, theses and books related to the subject, orthodontic treatment in patients with periodontal disease. DISCUSSION: From the information obtained it was possible to conclude that the orthodontic-periodontal union brings many benefits to the periodontium, by increasing the insertion capacity of periodontal ligament fibers to root surfaces, and thus establishing contact between the tooth and its respective alveolus. It should be emphasized that these benefits are considerable, provided that the biomechanical principles of orthodontics and the biological limitations of the periodontium are respected. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: Finally, the present work showed that orthodontic treatment can be complementary to periodontal treatment, helping the patient to control biofilm and enabling a functionally and aesthetically stable occlusion. Keywords: orthodontic treatment, periodontal treatment, ortho-perio union. Expandir Resumo Acessar Texto Completo
