Hirschfeld J, et al. - Researchers examined adults affected by chronic periodontitis for their interest in undergoing orthodontic treatment. Further, they sought for patient-related and tooth-related influence factors. One hundred fifteen adult patients with moderate-to-severe periodontitis were assessed for periodontal and orthodontic measurements/indices and were asked to answer a questionnaire investigating patient demographics, quality of life aspects, and their interest in undergoing orthodontic treatment. As per analysis, interest in orthodontics to improve tooth alignment was shown by two-thirds of the participants. However, this interest could not be related to the severity of periodontitis and tooth misalignment or demographic factors. Therefore, they recommend dental practitioners to be aware of patients wishing to align their teeth and to offer them relevant information and, if suitable, enable interdisciplinary treatment planning.
