Abstract

Stage IV periodontitis is characterized, apart from high severity/complexity (attachment loss, radiographic bone loss, and deep probing depths), from loss of multiple teeth and/or alterations of the masticatory function. Periodontitis stage IV patients are often characterized by pathologic tooth migration, drifting, flaring, posterior bite collapse, and secondary occlusal trauma. These act as complexity factors not only for the management of periodontitis, but also for the prognosis of the whole dentition, and the majority of these patients present secondary malocclusions that require interdisciplinary treatment with orthodontics. However, the management of stage IV patients is complex and requires coordination between the periodontal and orthodontic specialist, while orthodontic treatment needs to be appropriately adjusted to the specificities of adult periodontally-stable patients with severely reduced periodontium. The aim of the paper is to discuss the orthodontic management of these patients, including conditions that need to be met for orthodontic treatment to start, treatment-related considerations pertaining to appliance choice and mechanotherapy, as well as post-treatment maintenance protocols to ensure long-term stability of the treatment results. Finally, an updated systematic review with meta-analysis is presented that summarizes clinical evidence on the effect of combined periodontal-orthodontic treatment for stage IV periodontitis patients with pathological tooth migration.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
