The article suggests using superelastic active elements of titanium nickelid to move teeth in patients with secondary dental displacements due to periodontitis. It is emphasized that such superelastic instrument only has a sparing effect on periodontium and makes this procedure altogether nontraumatic. Devices featuring such active elements are considered indispensable for treatment of morbid thin-biotype periodontium. Presented is the original clinical case of chronical generalized periodontitis of medium severity, secondary vestibular displacement of upper front teeth, absence of upper masticatory teeth. The photographs show the patient's condition before and after the complex treatment of the patient, thin periodontal biotype. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
