Abstract

INTRODUCTION: Malposition is defined as abnormal location of the teeth/tooth in the dental arch. All types
of tooth malposition, such as diastemas, crowding, rotated teeth and incisor proclination can cause early
tooth loss due to the formation of periodontal pockets primary because the bone crest tends to follow the
cementoenamel junction.
AIM: of this study was to identify the influence of malpositioned teeth on periodontal health.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Total number of 60 subjects, aged from 13 to 39 years were examined. Visual
inspection was done to identify the type of abnormal tooth position. After that, their periodontal health was
assessed via: bleeding on probing, periodontal attachment loss and probing depth.
RESULTS: The most common periodontal changes associated with malpositioned teeth were: 100% - gingival
bleeding; 68.33 % - gingival recession; 53.33 % - gingival enlargement and 18.33 % chronic periodontitis.
We have noticed a significant association between gingival recession and the buccally positioned tooth and
between chronic gingivitis and periodontitis and excessive proclination of mandibular incisors, presence of
diastema and crowding. (for p<0.05).
CONCLUSION: Malposition of teeth have very bad influence of periodontal health on the affected teeth.
Most of the patients had need for basic periodontal and orthodontic treatments.
Keywords: gingivitis, gingival recession, malposition of teeth, periodontal status, periodontitis
