Abstract(s)
O tratamento ortodôntico tem-se vindo a tornar mais acessível e com isso tanto a oferta como a procura se tornaram mais populares. Ao longo dos anos têm sido observadas várias alterações pulpares durante o tratamento ortodôntico, nomeadamente no fluxo sanguíneo, na composição histológica, nas concentrações de diversas moléculas e na sensibilidade dentária.
A evidência atual é, em alguns casos, insuficiente para compreender os mecanismos através dos quais as forças ortodônticas promovem estas alterações, e noutros casos, é até insuficiente para associar determinadas alterações ao tratamento ortodôntico.
É por isso essencial que o médico dentista esteja ciente de todas as possibilidades com as quais se pode deparar durante o tratamento ortodôntico, de forma a conseguir fornecer um tratamento seguro e eficaz. Nesta medida, a presente revisão bibliográfica tem como objetivo apurar quais são as alterações pulpares ou com implicações pulpares, causadas pela prática ortodôntica, e tentar ainda perceber os mecanismos através dos quais as forças ortodônticas as promovem.

Over the years, several pulpal changes have been observed during orthodontic treatment, including alterations in blood flow, histological composition, concentrations of various molecules, and dental sensitivity. Current evidence is, in some cases, insufficient to understand the mechanisms through which orthodontic forces promote these changes, and in other cases, it is even insufficient to associate specific changes with orthodontic treatment. It is therefore essential for the dentist to be aware of all the possibilities that may arise during orthodontic treatment in order to provide safe and effective treatment. In this regard, this literature review aims to determine what pulpal changes or changes with pulpal implications are caused by orthodontic practice and to try to understand the mechanisms through which orthodontic forces promote them.
