Alterações pulpares e periapicais relacionadas ao movimento ortodôntico.

Abstract

The excellence in treatment is the goal of every health professional, aware of their duties. The current search for results as close to the ideal as possible, with minimal undesirable side effects of orthodontic treatment, makes studies more necessary. It is important to identify possible risk factors that could compromise the expected result. The objective of this literature review was to measure the pulp and periapical changes that can be caused by orthodontic movement through scientific data that would allow dental surgeons and academics to be shown the necessary basis to assist in decision making regarding planning and minimize risks of unwanted results. Concluded that the treatment time and the force used are factors that must be taken with extreme care by the dental surgeon in order to obtain a satisfactory result.
