Introduction: The term synergy refers to a two or more distinct influences acting together to create an effect greater than predicted. The term applies to the relationship between orthodontic and periodontics specialties in treating the patient. The interrelation focus on identification of the periodontal problem that could become more complicated during orthodontic treatment and conversely, those can benefit orthodontic therapy. Orthodontic tooth movement improves periodontal health in many cases and vice versa. Aim of work: In this study, we aimed to understand the interaction between orthodontic and periodontics specialties in dentistry, the periodontal tissue response on orthodontic therapy. A multidisciplinary approach required for the correction of complex dentoalveolar problems which can be better explained with ortho-perio integration. Methodology: The review is using the comprehensive search of PUBMED from the year 1880 to 2016. Conclusion: Every dental treatment requires good periodontal health especially orthodontic treatment. The orthodontic procedure is the double-action procedure regarding the periodontal tissue, it provides healthy state of the periodontal ligament, but on the other hand, it produces negative effects on periodontium including the gingival recession, gingivitis and bone defects. In recent years, due to the increased number of patients seeking orthodontic treatment, the orthodontist faces numerous periodontal problem hence an interdisciplinary approach could be effective in providing effective treatment. The development of new methods to accelerate tooth movement via periodontal procedures has shortened the treatment time, therefore, increased patient compliance. Thus the harmonious correlation among the two specialties provides the best treatment for combined orthodontic-periodontal problems. Keywords: Orthodontic treatment as an adjunct to periodontal therapy and vice-versa, interdisciplinary approach, new methods of tooth movement. |
