Lecture Description
Patients affected by missing anterior teeth due to agenesis , transposition, impaction, tooth malformation such as dilaceration or enamel dysplasia, and the entire range of dental trauma may sometimes require unusual treatment approaches. The therapeutic challenge in these patients is to select the most appropriate orthodontic strategy without extremely sophisticated mechanics, to keep treatment time within acceptable limits for not risking iatrogenic damages, e.g. major root resorptions, and to avoid the necessity for a future extensive implanto-prosthodontic rehabilitation. An interesting array of clinical examples will be provided and thoroughly discussed with regard to evidence base patient-centered practice.
