The Authors, in the light of available data in the published literature and using their own personal experience as a basis, examine the relationship existing between orthodontia and periodontology, giving prominence to the more immediate and dynamic aspects of the comparison. An obvious cause-and-effect relationship often links the position of the teeth and the periodontal pathology; if this relationship is understood by the orthodontist, it can guide him in his choice of treatment, both where curative treatment is required but also, and more importantly, where prevention can be provided. Emphasis is placed on how serious can be the damages caused to the periodontium where the monitoring of the bacterial plaque and of the inflammation which it brings about is not sufficiently constant. Certain programs of treatment are proposed which, using orthodontal methods, can make a substantial contribution to solving periodontal problems, the kind of problems which are hard to control when traditional methods are used.
作者根据已发表文献中的现有数据，并以自身经验为基础，研究了正畸学与牙周病学之间的关系，着重比较了两者更直接和动态的方面。牙齿位置与牙周病理之间常常存在明显的因果关系；如果正畸医生理解这种关系，它就能指导其在需要进行治疗时的治疗选择，而且更重要的是，能指导其在可进行预防的情况下做出选择。文中强调了如果对牙菌斑及其引发的炎症监测不够持续，对牙周组织造成的损害会有多严重。还提出了某些治疗方案，这些方案采用正畸方法，可为解决牙周问题做出重大贡献，而传统方法难以控制这类问题。
