Introduction

The movement of teeth into altered positions in relationship to the basal bone of the ALVEOLAR PROCESS and to adjoining and opposing teeth as a result of loss of approximating or opposing teeth, occlusal interferences, habits, inflammatory and dystrophic disease of the attaching and supporting structures of the teeth. (From Boucher's Clinical Dental Terminology, 4th ed)

Impact of Aligner Replacement Protocols on Predictability of Planned Dental Movements: Evaluation of Double Aligner

The study will evaluate the impact of replacing aligners after 7 days with new aligners made of different materials on the predictability of planned dental movements. Three groups of participants will follow different aligner protocols, and the planned movements will be compared with the achieved ones. The study aims to provide relevant data for clinical practices with orthodontic aligners and assess participants' satisfaction with the treatment.

Efficacy of Orthodontic Tooth Movement Using Beveled and Conventional Attachments in Aligners: a Randomized Split-Mouth Clinical Trial

The objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of tooth movement using beveled attachments and conventional attachments. The sample will be consecutively selected, comprising participants seeking orthodontic treatment in a private dental office within the recruitment period (from ethics committee approval to July 2027). Participants will be selected and randomized using a split-mouth study design. Groups will be divided into rectangular and beveled attachments, each further subdivided into subgroups for horizontal movements (Group H), vertical movements (Group V), and rotations (Group R), with 20 teeth/attachments per group, totaling a sample of 120 teeth/attachments. Digital study models will be obtained before the start of treatment and immediately after its completion. Additionally, clinical intraoral and extraoral photographs will be taken (pre- and post-treatment). Measurements will be collected from the initial and final digital models to determine the magnitude and direction of movements resulting from treatment. Descriptive statistics will be calculated for each type of dental movement evaluated. Paired tests will be conducted due to the split-mouth design. Correlation tests will be applied if necessary.

Saving teeth: Revisited. Esthetic improvement and long‐term periodontal stability of a pathologic tooth migration case: An 84‐month follow‐up

AbstractIntroductionAdvances in implant dentistry, often influence our clinical treatment planning and steer us as periodontists from our fundamental values of preserving teeth. Pathologic tooth migration (PTM) of maxillary anterior teeth is a common sequela of periodontitis in patients and results in significant esthetic and functional problems. Patients’ growing concern about the esthetics of their teeth and their fears of losing teeth are often reasons for them to seek treatment. We commonly assign a hopeless prognosis to these pathologically migrated teeth because of the significant loss of periodontal support and go with the “safer” choice of replacing them with implants. The purpose of this case report is to present the long‐term (7‐year) periodontal stability of compromised teeth and to emphasize the successful outcomes achieved when orthodontics, non‐surgical periodontal, and restorative treatments are combined.Methods and ResultsA 38‐year‐old, otherwise healthy male with compromised function and esthetics, PTM, periodontal disease, and missing teeth presented to our clinic. Primary treatment objectives were to 1) eliminate the periodontal inflammation and 2) restore and stabilize the occlusion by employing non‐surgical periodontal treatment, adult orthodontics, and prosthodontics. Following interdisciplinary treatment, clinical and radiographic re‐evaluation revealed significant clinical attachment gain, reduction in tooth mobility, favorable esthetics, and better overall prognosis. At an 84‐month follow‐up, the patient was periodontally healthy and retained his natural dentition.ConclusionsInterdisciplinary collaboration along with patient compliance may increase the longevity of periodontally compromised teeth and improve esthetics for periodontitis patients who suffer from PTM. Such long‐term favorable outcomes reaffirm the value of classic periodontal treatment and the success of multidisciplinary treatment to save teeth as a viable alternative to the extraction of teeth and the placement of implant retained restorations.

Multidisciplinary approach involving strategic implant placement before orthodontic (SIMBO) treatment for generalized stage IV grade C periodontitis: A case report with 10‐year follow‐up

Article

Author: Kudo, Motomu ; Shirakata, Yoshinori

AbstractObjectiveThe aim of this case report was to demonstrate the long‐term effects of a multidisciplinary approach involving periodontal reconstructive surgery and strategic implant placement before orthodontic (SIMBO) treatment in a patient with severe periodontitis (e.g., stage IV/grade C).Clinical ConsiderationsThe patient presented with severe periodontitis and pathologic tooth migration (PTM) without stable occlusion or occlusal support. After performing cause‐related therapy, periodontal regenerative surgery, pre‐orthodontic posterior implant placement, and orthodontic treatment involving anterior implant placement with papilla reconstruction, the patient achieved full‐mouth rehabilitation and improvement of dental and smile esthetics. The clinical and radiographic results obtained were maintained over a 10‐year period.ConclusionWithin the limits of this as a single case, multidisciplinary treatment involving the SIMBO approach appeared to allow long‐term improvement of periodontal condition, stability of the dental arches and occlusion, and esthetics in a patient with severe periodontitis, PTM and posterior bite collapse. Future studies with more subjects are needed to evaluate and validate this approach.Clinical SignificanceWhen addressing periodontal disease, SIMBO approach‐based multidisciplinary treatment appears safe and effective as a clinical protocol for establishing esthetic and functional rehabilitation in generalized stage IV/grade C periodontitis.

BACKGROUND AND OVERVIEWPatients with severe periodontitis often experience pathologic tooth migration (PTM), which impairs esthetics and leads to occlusal disharmony (for example, premature contacts and traumatic occlusion) that can further exacerbate periodontitis. The authors describe a patient who exhibited severe periodontitis with PTM-related bimaxillary protrusion. This report includes 3-year clinical outcomes after periodontal regenerative therapy, implant-anchored orthodontic therapy, and implant prosthodontics intended to achieve both functional and esthetic improvements.CASE DESCRIPTIONA 63-year-old woman sought treatment with the chief complaint of maxillary anterior tooth mobility. Clinical examination revealed excessive tooth mobility, deep periodontal pockets, and infrabony defects in all teeth. All teeth exhibited PTM; the mandibular anterior teeth exhibited marked protrusion caused by the progression of periodontitis. After initial periodontal therapy, periodontal regenerative therapy was performed in all molar regions. At 6 and 9 months postoperatively, comprehensive orthodontic treatment was initiated for the mandible and maxilla, respectively, using orthodontic anchorage devices to achieve acceptable functional occlusion. After orthodontic treatment, staged guided bone regeneration was performed and dental implants were placed in the severely resorbed maxillary anterior ridge. This comprehensive treatment yielded favorable periodontal conditions, stable occlusion, and good esthetic outcomes.CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONSFavorable esthetics, stable occlusion, and highly cleansable periodontal tissues were achieved with well-planned interdisciplinary and comprehensive treatment, although the patient had severe periodontitis and PTM-related bimaxillary protrusion.
