Abstract

The aim of the present study was to demonstrate that a lack of knowledge on the biomechanics and physiology of tissues involved in the correction of any type of malocclusion can result in iatrogenic alterations in the periodontium. Moreover, the integration of different fields of dentistry, especially orthodontics and periodontics, is of considerable importance, as the former requires the functional integrity of the periodontal tissue. This tissue must also remain healthy throughout treatment as well as following the conclusion of orthodontic therapy.
