Abstract:
The interpretation of the clinical signs and symptoms arising from the interdisciplinary relationship between orthodontics and endodontics becomes more complicated when superimposed by dental trauma. A history of dental trauma before or during orthodontic tooth movement may have implications for pulpal health and clinical outcomes. An understanding of the biology is essential for appropriate treatment planning. This review and treatment recommendations will assist dental practitioners in managing orthodontic-endodontic interactions.
