- Abstract
This article from the Romanian Journal of Oral Rehabilitation explores the clinical and morphological aspects of gingival overgrowth caused by fixed orthodontic therapy. The study involved analyzing biopsies of gingival mucosa from patients undergoing orthodontic treatment to understand the tissue changes. The main causes of gingival overgrowth during orthodontic treatment are increased plaque accumulation and excessive pressure from orthodontic forces. The article emphasizes the importance of oral hygiene and the correct duration and approach to orthodontic therapy in preventing gingival overgrowth. It also discusses the different types of gingival overgrowth and the need for a collaborative approach involving dentists, orthodontists, and maxillofacial surgeons for effective treatment.
