The value for plaque, gingival recession, and tooth mobility significantly increased in group I patients. However, the difference was statistically nonsignificant in group II patients.CONCLUSION:
The authors concluded that there is correlation between malocclusion and periodontitis. Malocclusion leads to periodontitis. CLINICALSIGNIFICANCE:
Malocclusion is the main reason for the development of poor periodontal health. Combined effort has to be played by both periodontist and orthodontist for the treatment of various orthodontic-periodontal problems.Palabras clave
