CLINICAL CORRELATION BETWEEN ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT AND PERIODONTAL DISEASES

Аннотация

This study explores the clinical correlation between orthodontic treatment and periodontal health, emphasizing the impact of pre-existing periodontal conditions on treatment outcomes. Orthodontic interventions, including fixed braces and clear aligners, can influence periodontal tissues depending on the patient’s oral hygiene, malocclusion severity, and tissue biotype. Clinical evaluation revealed that patients with healthy periodontal status exhibited predictable tooth movement, minimal tissue complications, and improved functional and aesthetic results. Conversely, patients with gingival inflammation or bone loss experienced slower tooth movement and localized periodontal deterioration. The research highlights the importance of early periodontal assessment, preventive strategies, individualized treatment planning, and interdisciplinary collaboration between orthodontists and periodontists. Integrating periodontal considerations into orthodontic protocols enhances treatment predictability, preserves alveolar bone and soft tissue integrity, and ensures long-term oral health and esthetic outcomes.
