Background: The transmission of orthodontic forces through the stressed tissue matrix onto the local cells within the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone, stimulate the cells to release proinflammatory, angiogenic and osteogenic agents that activates the process of periodontal ligament and alveolar bone remodeling. Studies have suggested that orthodontic therapy when not fully controlled may influence the process of inflammation and the destruction of periodontium leading to increased loss of attachment. Objective: To evaluate updated scientific evidence on the relationship between fixed orthodontic therapy and periodontal health. Methods: A systematic literature search was performed using the Pubmed and other databases with keywords “orthodontic” and “periodontal” based on PRISMA 2020 guidelines. Articles published from January 2000 to September 2022 were i.. Read More»
