    Review Article DOI: 10.18231/2455-6785.2017.0004 Periodontal considerations in orthodontic treatment Vasu Kumar1,*, Vijayta Yadav2, Mani Dwivedi3, Kusum Lata Agarwal4, Saquib Ahmad Asrar5 1,3,4,5PG Student, 2Senior Lecturer, Dept. of Orthodontics, Career PG Institute of Dental Sciences, Uttar Pradesh *Corresponding Author: Email: [email protected] Abstract Harmonious cooperation of the general dentist, the periodontist and the orthodontist offers great possibilities for the treatment of combined orthodontic–periodontal problems. Orthodontic treatment along with patient’s compliance and absence of periodontal inflammation can provide satisfactory results without causing irreversible damage to periodontal tissues. Orthodontic treatment carries with it the risks of tissue damage, treatment failure and an increased predisposition to dental disorders. The dentist must be aware of these risks in order to help the patient make a fully informed choice whether to proceed with orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study is to discuss the principles of orthodontic treatment in patients with reduced periodontium, its indications and limitations, as well as current views concerning retention of orthodontic result.

    DR JEBIN,MDS.,D.ICOI The periodontium is defined as those tissues supporting and investing the tooth. • It consists of the cementum, • the periodontal ligament, • the alveolar bone and •the gingiva. Cementum is the least understood one of these four tissues. • The Cementum is a hard, avascular, calcified connective tissue covering the root dentin and gives insertion to the periodontal fiber bundle. • It can be regarded as a “bone of attachment”. • It is pale yellow and softer than dentin. • Cementum is formed throughout life and is resistant to resorption. • Cementum functions as an area of attachment for the periodontal ligament fibers. Thickness of cementum: • The thickness of cementum varies considerably coronal third may be 16-60 µm thick (thickness of hair) apical third and furcation areas can be 150-200 µm or even thicker (greatest thickness) • It is thicker in distal surfaces than in mesial surfaces. • Between 11 and 70 years, the average thickness of cementum increases threefold, with greatest increase in apical region. • Average thickness: 95 µm at 20yrs and 215 µm at 60yrs Permanent teeth contains • 45-50% inorganic substance • 50-55% organic material and water. • The inorganic portion consists calcium and phosphate in the form of hydroxyapatite (Ca10[Po4]6[OH]2) • They are thin, needle-shaped crystals. • It is less than that of bone(65%) enamel(97%) dentin(70%) a • The organic portion of the cementum is composed primarily of type I (90%) and type III (about 5%) collagens. • Sharpey’s fibers, which constitute the major portion of cementum are composed of mainly collagen type I.

  • Normal Formation and Development Defects of the Human Dentition
    PEDIATRIC ORAL HEALTH 0031-3955/00 $15.00 + .OO NORMAL FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT DEFECTS OF THE HUMAN DENTITION J. Tim Wright, DDS, MS The development of the human dentition involves a highly orches- trated series of events that are strictly genetically controlled. The devel- opmental timing, location, morphology, structure, and composition of teeth are primarily determined by cascades of molecular events that are regulated by hundreds of genes.4oNormally, humans have 20 primary (i.e., deciduous, or shedding) teeth, which are lost in childhood, and 32 permanent teeth. Dentition begins to form at approximately 6 weeks in utero and continues through late adolescence, when the development of the permanent third molars is completed. Because the development of dentition is prolonged, it is susceptible to environmental influences for many years. A basic understanding of normal dentition and its development allows clinicians to accurately identdy normal and abnor- mal dental conditions and make recommendations for appropriate thera- peutic interventions and patient counseling. Delineating normal from abnormal dental development requires careful evaluation of the patient, including a medical, dental, and family history; clinical examination; and radiographic evaluation and may require special laboratory tests. This article reviews normal dentition and fundamental concepts of tooth development and provides a conceptual framework for diagnosing de- velopmental defects of teeth.
