Abstract

The dental disciplines of orthodontics and periodontics keep a variety of contact points. The development of new treatment options in periodontics and orthodontics, e.g., guided tissue regeneration or orthodontic implants for temporary skeletal anchorage, offer new ways in treatment of periodontally affected patients. The present work is a review of studies and treatment plans in the past thirty years and scrutinises their topicality and evidence. The performance of a systematic review of literature led to a low number of resulting articles. For this reason and their heterogeneity it was not possible to perform a quantifying review. Our results lead to the conclusion that this certain scope of interdisciplinary therapy has further demand for studies with high quality standards and evidence.
