Summary
Aggressive periodontitis requires careful management alongside orthodontic treatment. Periodontal health must be approved before and during orthodontics, with therapy adjusted for affected teeth.
Area of Science:
- Periodontology
- Orthodontics
- Dental Public Health
Background:
- Aggressive periodontitis presents unique challenges when orthodontic treatment is considered.
- Early diagnosis and management are crucial for successful outcomes.
Purpose of the Study:
- To review literature on aggressive periodontitis diagnosed before or during orthodontic treatment.
- To establish preventive recommendations for orthodontic patients with aggressive periodontitis.
Main Methods:
- Comprehensive literature searches were conducted using PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library.
- Selected studies were analyzed, and relevant data were tabulated.
Main Results:
- Eighteen case reports detailing 21 cases met the inclusion criteria.
- The mean age of patients was 21.12 years, with most being female, all receiving combined periodontal and orthodontic treatment.
Conclusions:
- Interdisciplinary approval of periodontal health is essential before and during orthodontic therapy.
- Periodontal consultation and treatment are necessary prior to orthodontics for affected individuals.
- Orthodontic treatment may need postponement or modification to reduce forces on compromised dentition.

01:15Teeth
The formation of teeth, also known as odontogenesis, is a complex process that begins in utero, around the sixth week of embryonic development. There are three stages to this process: the bud stage, the cap stage, and the bell stage.
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...

01:27The Oral Microbiota
The oral microbiome includes a complex ecosystem comprising over 700 microbial species, identified through genomic sequencing and culture-based analyses to date. This community includes a core microbiome, found universally among individuals, and a variable component influenced by environmental factors such as diet, lifestyle, and host genetics. Site-specific conditions, including oxygen gradients, pH levels, and nutrient availability, determine the spatial distribution of these microorganisms...
01:21Tooth Anatomy
The human tooth enables us to eat a variety of foods, speak clearly, and even aid in shaping our faces. Teeth are composed of various elements that work together. Here's a detailed look at the anatomy of a human tooth.
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
