Abstract

Orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) can be possibly be performed on endodontically treated teeth
with remarkable outcomes. There is however a scarcity of adequate knowledge and data regarding the
crisp association between endodontics and orthodontic treatment. This association comprises of various
effects involving the pulp and periodontium that occurs as a result of orthodontic treatment. It is hence
always suggested to apply adequate and appropriate amount of occasional forces that would bring about
satisfactory tooth movement. This would in turn restrict pulpal damage, and also aid in its healing.
Thus, proper evaluation of such endodontically treated case with a thorough clinical and radiographical
assessment before orthodontic treatment is primarily important prior to orthodontic treatment. Hence, this
review portrays a brief image about the various adverse effects of OTM on endodontically treated tooth.

Keywords: Orthodontic tooth movement, Root resorption, Periodontium.
