Abstract

While periodontal disease results in the extrusion of upper incisors with interdental spacing in adult patient, the intrusive movement should be executed for the rehabilitation in terms of esthetics and function. The present study was performed to investigate the periodontal response following orthodontic intrusion of teeth with infrabony pocket.
Bone defect and periodontal disease were produced adjacent to the both maxillary second lateral incisors in four adult dogs. Four weeks later, a flap operation was performed to eliminate inflammation and a reference notch was made on the root surface at the level of bottom of each defect. Two weeks after periodontal surgery, 4 weeks of intrusion and subsequent another 4 weeks of retention was executed on the right side of incisors while left incisors served as the control. Through the histologic analysis, following results were obtained.
1. Histologic section of control side showed the reduction of pocket ´iepth after flap operation. However, the status of long junctional epithelium was observed while new connective tissue attachment occurred in a small area adjacent newly formed cementum.
2. Epithelial attachment was less around the intruded incisor while new connective tissue attachment was much more compared to the control side.
3. Plenty of cells were observed in the connective tissue around the reference notch of the intruded incisor and the degree of the new cementum fonnation was higher in the intruded incisor than the control.
The results of the present study suggested that an orthodontic intrusion of periodontally involved and extruded incisors could be carried out with a desirable periodontal response, provided that inflammation is under control.
