Orthodontic Treatment in Patient with Reduced Periodontium: A Case Report
Keywords:
Orthodontics, Periodontitis, Anterior crossbiteAbstract
Adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment have increased in the recent past. It is an undeniable fact that the incidence of the other dental problems such as periodontal disease and multiple missing teeth are more among adult patients. The multiple missing teeth cause the tipping of the adjacent teeth and the extrusion of the opposing teeth result in the malocclusion that should be corrected by the orthodontic treatment. This case report presented a 58-year-old female patient who has a moderate periodontal disease with the anterior crossbite malocclusion. Before undergoing of orthodontic treatment, the patient was referred to periodontist for periodontal treatment until periodontal inflammation was eliminate and healthy periodontium so that the active orthodontic therapy was initiated. After orthodontic treatment was finished. Anterior crossbite was corrected to normal overjet and overbite. The final stage of the treatment indicated satisfactory occlusal and periodontal characteristics.
