Enhancing Periodontal Regenerative Outcomes With Simultaneous Orthodontic Tooth Movement.

Periodontal regeneration of lost tissue, including periodontal ligament (PDL), cementum, and bone, has evolved with regard to surgical techniques, biomaterials, and growth factors. Simultaneous orthodontic therapy and periodontal surgical treatment has been documented previously and shown to enhance the regenerative outcome due to stimulation of the PDL by tooth movement. This combined strategy is becoming increasingly common as clinicians explore the capabilities of a collaborative approach.
