Treatment of Pathological Tooth Migration using Non- Surgical Periodontal Therapy

Abstract

Migration or drifting of teeth is always multifactorial. This is one of the major concerns in the field of dentistry. On long standing periodontal disease this pathological migratory phenomenon occurs. Treating this pathological tooth migration requires some of the modalities like periodontal therapy/ orthodontic therapy/ restorative therapy. But in some cases periodontal therapy alone plays an important role in spontaneous correction of PTM. Present case report also demonstrate the spontaneous correction of mandibular anterior tooth proclination and slight amount of open bite with non- surgical periodontal therapy (periodontal therapy) alone
