KAHN, Sérgio et al. Influence of periodontal biotype in Implantology and Orthodontics. Rev. Bras. Odontol. [online]. 2013, vol.70, n.1, pp. 40-45. ISSN 1984-3747.

The aim of this study was to conduct a literature review to assess the importance of the definition of the periodontal biotype in orthodontic and implants treatments. It was observed that the differences in periodontal characteristics are similar for both dentate patients and for patients with implants, then this information should be important to the definition of orthodontic and implants treatments to avoid functional and aesthetic inconvenience. And the definition of periodontal biotype is critical to the predictability of these treatments.
