Multi-disciplinary treatment planning for Orthodontic-Periodontal cases
A prerequisite for orthodontic therapy for any patient is periodontal health. Orthodontic tooth movement has significant biologic effects on the periodontal compartment, and may affect the architecture of the gingival apparatus. This lecture aims to discuss the interplay between orthodontic, dental implant and periodontal treatment planning.
Proposed Learning Objectives:
- Malocclusion and periodontitis
- Missing/Extracted teeth
- Tooth Substitution
- Orthodontic planning for implants
- Interdental papilla and the black triangle
- Retention of large diastemas
- Mucogingival surgery in orthodontic patients
