Orthodontic movement of endodontically treated teeth
Dental Press Journal of Orthodontics
|November 23, 2013
Summary
Orthodontic movement is feasible for endodontically treated teeth, even with periapical lesions or pulp necrosis. Careful endodontic evaluation is crucial before initiating orthodontic treatment for these teeth.
Area of Science:
- Endodontics and Orthodontics
- Dental Traumatology
Background:
- Teeth requiring orthodontic treatment are sometimes endodontically treated or undergoing treatment.
- Assessing the suitability of endodontically treated teeth for orthodontic movement is essential.
Purpose of the Study:
- To explore orthodontic movement in endodontically treated teeth with varying periapical conditions.
- To review cases involving teeth treated for aseptic pulp necrosis due to trauma.
Main Methods:
- Discussion of clinical scenarios involving orthodontic movement of endodontically treated teeth.
- Review of endodontic treatment adequacy for teeth undergoing orthodontic movement.
Main Results:
- Orthodontic movement can be considered in endodontically treated teeth, even with periapical lesions.
- The condition of the endodontic treatment is a critical factor for successful orthodontic movement.
Conclusions:
- Endodontically treated teeth can be orthodontically moved, provided a thorough endodontic evaluation is performed.
- Further clinical research is needed to substantiate the findings and guide practice.

Teeth

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...

Tooth 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...

Anatomical Movements

Anatomical movements refer to the various actions or motions that can be performed by the body's joints and muscles. These movements are described using specific terms to provide a standardized way of discussing and understanding the range of motion at different joints.
Here are some common anatomical movements:
Flexion and extension motions are in the sagittal (anterior–posterior) plane of motion. These movements take place at the shoulder, hip, elbow, knee, wrist,...
