Mucogingival Interceptive Surgery of Buccally‐Erupted Premolars in Patients Scheduled for Orthodontic Treatment I. A 7‐Year Longitudinal Study

Abstract

Mucogingival interceptive surgery is an effective approach to conserve the keratinized buccal gingiva of ectopically erupting premolars.

The orthodontic-periodontic interrelationship in integrated treatment challenges: a systematic review

“…However, in 2000 Pini Prato et al. (89, 90) compared surgically treated versus nonsurgically treated cases with buccally erupted premolars and recommended that in buccally erupted teeth mucogingival interceptive surgery should be accomplished before orthodontic therapy to maintain the width of keratinized gingiva in the long term. Given the controversy, it seems that the issue of the optimal timing to perform recession coverage or soft tissue thickness augmentation in an overall treatment plan needs further scientific support by randomised, controlled clinical studies.…”

Short‐ and long‐term periodontal evaluation of impacted canines treated with a closed surgical–orthodontic approach

“…Eccentric eruption causes the irreversible destruction of the gingiva that is “entrapped” between the erupting permanent tooth and the corresponding deciduous tooth (Agudio et al 1985, Pini Prato et al 2000a, b). In a longitudinal clinical trial, Årtun et al (1986) demonstrated that, in the same patient, buccally erupted canines presented with more apically positioned clinical attachment and alveolar bone levels when compared with the controlateral teeth erupted at the centre of the alveolar ridge.…”

Interdisciplinary orthodontic‐periodontal treatment of unerupted permanent maxillary incisors following traumatic injury to deciduous teeth. Case report with long‐term follow‐up (11 years)

“…On the other hand, an indirect effect may occur when trauma causes the necrosis of the deciduous tooth with the consequent failure of root resorption and/or the development of periapical lesions. The persistence of deciduous roots may cause impaction or ectopic or delayed eruption of the permanent teeth over the physiologic eruption time 10‐13 …”
