The perio–ortho interface: latest guidelines.

This article focuses on the latest S3-level clinical practice guidelines, which allow for an evidence-based and patient-centred decision-making process for managing periodontitis patients who require orthodontics as part of their interdisciplinary care. Orthodontic management, including types of appliances, movement, use of adjuncts and timing are discussed. Management of periodontitis relapse, as well as the importance of successful maintenance and retention, are also highlighted. CPD/Clinical Relevance: Severe periodontitis can result in pathological migration of teeth that may benefit from orthodontic therapy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
