An assessment of patients with periodontally involved migrated incisors

Abstract

Thirty patients with periodontal disease whose incisors had migrated were examined in order to see in what way they differed from patients with periodontal disease whose incisors had not migrated. In the patients with migrated incisors there was a higher incidence of Class 2 skeletal pattern and a far greater amount of bone loss. This group also had an increased overjet and the angulation of the lower incisors to the mandibular plane was greater as compared with patients in whom the incisors had not migrated.
