Increased
patient awareness Consumer rights Developments in various fields of dentistry and science More and more adults are seeking for orthodontic treatment Changing treatment objectives Primary motivating factor Improving dental appearance
CLASSIFICATION
This includes the interaction where in two specialties interact among themselves , such as a) PERIODONTIC ORTHODONTIC b) ENDODONTIC ORTHODONTIC c) PROSTHODONTIC ORTHODONTIC
PHASES OF IDT
Any type of interdisciplinary therapy(IDT) should have the following steps
Various studies have shown that Alveolar bone height reduced in areas of increased over jet Gingivitis is generally associated with crowding Level of bacteria is higher in areas of crowding compared with normal areas in same patient
1. ALIGNING CROWDED OR MALPOSED TEETH PERMITS THE ADULT PATIENT BETTER ACCESS TO CLEAN ALL SURFACES OF THEIR TEETH ADEQUATELY.
2. TREMENDOUS ADVANTAGE FOR PATIENTS WHO ARE SUSCEPTIBLE TO PERIODONTAL BONE LOSS OR DO NOT HAVE THE DEXTERITY TO MAINTAIN ORAL HYGIENE
3. VERTICAL ORTHODONTIC TOOTH REPOSITIONING CAN IMPROVE CERTAIN TYPES OF OSSEOUS DEFECTS IN PERIODONTAL PATIENTS.
4.
Age per se is not a contraindication for orthodontic treatment , lighter forces should be used as there is an decreased cellular activity of the PDL(Reitan, Angle Orthod 1985)
Although the world wide prevalence of
gingival inflammation is high, advanced periodontal disease affects 8 % - 30% of population . (Papapanou et al, JCP 1989)
HENCE , EVALUATION AND MAINTENANCE OF PERIODONTAL HEALTH BEFORE , DURING AND AFTER TREATMENT IS VERY IMPORTANT
Previous periodontal disease Drug history Systemic diseases CLINICAL EXAMINATION Check for the following : Bleeding on probing Tooth mobility Thin fragile gingiva Pockets
Psychosocial stress
Lifestyle factors such as
diet, alcohol use and especially smoking Deficiencies in the immune system The presence of specific bacteria
common in women than in men) Age Diabetes mellitus Osteoporosis Polymorphonuclear leukocyte count
SHORT
LONG
FORCE
TISSUE RESPONSE
PDL on pressure side ischemia & degeneration of PDL = hyalinization = more delay in tooth movement
EQULIBRIUM CONCEPT
It is not only the forces of the musculature that help in maintaining tooth position. In certain areas of the dentition like the mandibular anteriors the pressure from the tongue within is more than the pressure from the extroral muscles. Here the metabolic activity of the periodontal ligament helps in maintaining tooth position
EXTRUSION
Least hazardous kind of tooth movement as far as periodontium is considered. Extrusion followed by equilibration of the clinical crown has been shown to reduce infrabony defects and pockets.(Ingber JS, J Periodontol 1974)
INTRUSION
Controversial Most authors Intrusion results in deepening of infrabony pockets, root resorption, bone defects
Birte Melsen (AJODO 1989. Vol.96) No increase in bone defects/ improvement in bony defects
TIPPING
UNCONTROLLED TIPPING in all cases causes heavy forces at the alveolar crest resulting in severe destruction of the epithelial attachment and crestal bone loss Bone loss & Center of Resistance of a tooth
CONTROLLED TIPPING also produces high forces in the periodontal ligament as the fulcrum shifts more and more apically with
Infact cases have been documented where a gingival lesion has been converted into a periodontal lesion by the injudicious use of tipping moments.
Mild gingival changes associated with orthodontic appliances are transitory. These cause no periodontal damage and resolve on their own.
BODILY MOVEMENT
Moving a tooth bodily into a periodontal defect has been believed to carry the bone along with the tooth resulting in improvement of the defect. However recent studies have shown that this only an illusion because it causes only an improved connective tissue attachment and infact worsens the bony defect. Hence until new evidence surfaces this is contraindicated.
ADULT ORTHODONTICS
How is adult orthodontics different???
1. Response to orthodontic force is relatively slower
could convert a gingival lesion into a periodontal one in adults because of lesser resistance and tissue turnover.
In adults do a thorough periodontal phase involving
scaling, flaps and soft tissue grafts in cases with extremely reduced width of attached gingiva.
After preorthodontic treatment there should be a phase of maintenance allowing the tissues to recover as well as evaluate patient co-operation.
These cases require routine scaling and other hygeine aids like electric toothbrushes, interdental brushes, water piks , chemical aids like chlorhexidine etc depending on the degree of periodontal ligament
Brushing with proper oral hygiene Oral prophylaxis Powered tooth brushes Mouth rinses
Disclosing solutions
MODERATE PERIODONATL INVOLVEMENT Disease control Preliminary periodontal therapy here includes all but
osseous surgeries Important to remove all irritants, flap surgeries are especially recommended for complete calculus removal. Use bonding, self ligating brackets, steel ligatures Routine scaling at 2-4month interval. Mechanical and chemical adjuvants for oral hygeine
SEVERE PERIODONTAL INVOLVEMENT All other measures additional do the following 1. Periodontal maintenance scheduling as frequent
as orthodontic appointments.
2. Treatment goals & mechanics modified to keep
OPG reveals generalized bone resorption with increased severity in anterior segment
Comparison of pre and post treatment OPG note the amount of bone is maintained if not reduced and significant amount of bone formation in upper anterior segment due to tooth Moving closer to each other
1. Stability of the achieved results is usually fair. 2. However other than the mild cases most of them require permanent retention in the form of removable wrap around retainers. 3.Fixed retention in terms of bonded retainers is usually not recommended because of the difficulty in maintaining adequate hygiene
%(Edwards AJO 1970) Should be performed towards the end of finishing phase
1.These require immediate splinting after debonding. 2.Splinting is provided by vaccum formed retainers to be worn for a period of 4-6 weeks. 3.Following this permanent retention using removable retainers is mandatory. 4.Routine followup visits at regular intervals for periodontal maintainence/evaluation of patient hygeine measures are recommended.
Minimal amount of tooth movement was carried out since bone was not very conducive , hence surgery was opted
Molar protraction
NOTE- THE AMOUNT OF BONE FORMATION MESIAL TO II MOLAR KNOWN AS ORTHODONTIC SITE MANAGEMENT
DIAGNOSTICS:
Evaluate the degree of compromise, Identify sites of active periodontal destruction
TREATMENT PLANNING :
Decide on types of tooth movement, force levels
DEFINITVE THERAPY:
Use bonded appliances whenever possible, Self ligating brackets, avoid O-rings, Plan periodontal maintenance schedules.
MAINTAINENCE:
Use of vacuum formed retainer immediately after debonding. Concept of permanent retention
Although comprehensive orthodontic treatment cannot preclude the possibility of periodontal disease developing later, it can be useful part of the overall treatment plan for a patient who already has periodontal involvement.
