Retention and relapse: An anamnesis
Journal Title: IP Indian Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Research - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
The problem of retention and relapse was born with the science of orthodontics and continues to persistently disturb Orthodontic researchers and clinicians In spite of all the advances in the active treatment procedures retention and relapse remains a problem for many practitioners Several studies have been carried out to determine the changes taking place several years after orthodontic treatment and the influencing factors Factors including growth periodontium age third molars tooth dimensions etc have been held responsible for post treatment relapse Several procedures have been devised to ensure stability and prevent or at least avoid post treatment changes so as to reduce relapse To achieve this purpose a proper understanding of the changes occurring various factors affecting relapse and retention procedures is important Thus problems of retention and the continued trend which owes to the biological and mechanical limitations demands to go through the state of art of this perennial problem ldquoRetention and RelapserdquonbspKeywords Retention Relapse Orthodontics
