  • Title: Reconstruction of function and aesthetics of the maxillary anterior region: a combined periodontal/orthodontic therapy.
    Author: Romano R, Landsberg CJ.
    Journal: Pract Periodontics Aesthet Dent; 1996 May; 8(4):353-61; quiz 362. PubMed ID: 9028297.
    Abstract:
    Severe cases of periodontal disease often require periodontal surgery. Techniques have been developed attempting to minimize the postsurgical gingival recession and compromise of the interdental papillae. This article presents a case report in which soft tissue regenerative surgery was minimized through combined utilization of periodontal and orthodontic principles. The treatment plan included the control of periodontal inflammation, restoration of lost attachment apparatus, realignment of anterior dentition, and stabilization of occlusion. The anticipated loss of a maxillary central incisor was avoided. The learning objective of this article is to present the advantage of the interdisciplinary form of therapy in such challenging cases.
