ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT OF PERIODONTALLY DAMAGED TEETH - AN INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH
Muhamad Abu-Hussein, Nezar Watted, Viktoria Hegedus, Borbely Peter, Josip Bill

Recently, a continuing trend cannot be overlooked: the number of orthodontically treated adult patients, with a particular interest in the correction of aesthetic imbalances, is increasing continuously. Because the mouth and teeth play a significant role in the attractiveness of the human face and the teeth are viewed as a prominent feature of personal identity, the correction of dentofacial anomalies must be realized with the appropriate emphasis on the objective goal-setting in orthodontics. Adult treatment itself confronts the orthodontist with interdisciplinary questions that, for example, concern orthodontic tooth movements in periodontally damaged section of the jaw. The high success rates of newer periodontal treatment techniques - such as guided tissue or bone regeneration— raised the questions of how these could reasonably be employed in combined periodontal- orthodontic therapy.
Key Words: guided tissue regeneration (GTR); pathologic tooth migration;   advanced periodontitis.
