Abstract

Periodontium is a common link between Orthodontics and Periodontics. Orthodontics is dependent on the inflammatory changes in periodontium for effective tooth movement. Orthodontic biomechanics and treatment planning are dependent on the health of periodontium and certain changes in the same are required while treating periodontally compromised adult patients. In this case series, we present successful management of two periodontally compromised adult patients by an interdisciplinary team approach.

Keywords: Ortho-perio interdisciplinary management; Orthodontics in periodontally compromised patients
