title: [The effects of orthodontic treatment on periodontal findings in adults].
abstract: After periodontal therapy 12 patients with advanced alveolar bone loss were orthodontically treated and recalled for approximately 51.1 months. Orthodontic tooth movement resulted in a mean overjet reduction of 1.7 mm, a mean overbite reduction of 1.3 mm and closure of the anterior spaces. No significant differences were observed in the probing depths and attachment levels between the test and control teeth. 31% of the treated teeth showed signs of root resorption. The results indicate that orthodontic therapy in patients with successfully treated advanced periodontal disease does not lead to further attachment loss if the patients are periodontally well maintained.
