NZAO Periodontally compromised dentition and the uncompromising Orthodontist- A clinical perspective”

Malocclusions are often at risk of rapid periodontal tissue breakdown during orthodontic treatment. It is important for Orthodontists to have a succinct understanding of the factor that influence the development of these defects or aggravation of periodontal disease. Current research along with proper diagnostic technique allows clinicians to harness support from the periodontium and manage cases with periodontally compromised teeth.
