Talks

Aims

We shall provide an outline of the scientific evidence on the outcomes of orthodontic therapy in patients with stage IV periodontitis. We shall then describe the diagnostic pathway and the therapeutic phases, including the preferred timing for orthodontic treatment within the periodontal treatment plan. We shall also describe the possible influence of different orthodontic movements and the impact of anchorage and retention on long-term outcomes.

Outcomes

  • Explain the influence of periodontal health/stability on orthodontic tooth movement and vice versa

  • Recognise when orthodontic interventions can improve periodontal treatment outcomes 

  • Plan integrated multidisciplinary care, taking into consideration the risk factors that could affect successful outcomes 

  • Discuss the timing of orthodontic treatment, including start and monitoring in patients with periodontitis
