Abstract
Case report of: a patient with severe inactive periodontitis, bone loss in the upper and lower anterior segments, supra-eruption of the upper and lower central incisors and spacing. Objective: To increase alveolar bone volume in the anterior segments, level and align the dental arches, upright incisors, close spaces and improve stability, function and esthetics. Method: Orthodontic appliances were bonded, both dental arches were leveled and aligned; the incisors were intruded and their inclination corrected. Results: Alveolar bone volume was increased in the anterior segments thus reducing the bony defect between upper central incisors. Stability, function and aesthetics were improved. Conclusions: The orthoperio relationship has been well established, and the benefits of this relationship help the orthodontist to achieve contemporary treatment objectives.
