Abstract

For better diagnosis and treatment planning, co-operation, coordination and interaction between different specialties in dentistry are utmost important. Interaction between the different disciplines is necessary and in some cases it is crucial in facilitating coordinated dental therapy. The interrelationship between Orthodontics and Periodontics is many times symbiotic. In many instances, periodontal health is improved by orthodontic tooth movement, whereas orthodontic tooth movement is often facilitated by periodontal therapy. Prior to 1970’s orthodontic treatment not so often recommended to prevent periodontal diseases. Crowded teeth result in plaque accumulation because of difficulty in cleaning.
