Abstract
The expanding role of endodontics into different phases of dental treatment is illustrated by the awareness of its relationship with orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment is done for gaining esthetic appearance for the patient & for the establishment of proper occlusion. However, there is a paucity of information on the concise relationship between endodontics and orthodontics during treatment planning decisions. This relationship ranges from effects on the pulp and potential for root resorption from orthodontic treatment to the clinical management of teeth requiring integrated endodontic and orthodontic treatment. This paper presentation will address the consequences of tooth movement on the pulp and preventive measures to be taken to maintain its vitality. Other areas such as comparison of various endodontic procedures on teeth movement and effects of teeth movement on apical seal will also be covered. Towards its end, the presentation will cover the treatment planning with combined orthodontic-endodontic therapy, necessary to gain the desired endodontic result and ascertain better prognosis.
