Abstract
Svrha ovog prikaza jest pokazati da nedovoljno znanje iz biomehanike i fiziologije tkiva uključenih u korekcije malokluzije može rezultirati ijatrogenim oštećenjima parodonta. Integracija ortodoncije i parodontologije važna je zato što parodontologija zahtijeva funkcionalni integritet parodontnog tkiva, a ono mora ostati zdravo tijekom ortodontske terapije i nakon njezina završetka.The aim of the present study was to demonstrate that a lack of knowledge on the biomechanics and physiology of tissues involved in the correction of any type of malocclusion can result in iatrogenic alterations in the periodontium. Moreover, the integration of different fields of dentistry, especially orthodontics and periodontics, is of considerable importance, as the former requires the functional integrity of the periodontal tissue. This tissue must also remain healthy throughout treatment as well as following the conclusion of orthodontic therapy
