Orthodontic Treatment Planning and Management of the Periodontally Compromised Patient
Martin Antonio V. Reyes
Lecture Description
Over the past few decades our efforts to educate our patients in the realm of dentistry has bared good fruits by the fact that more and more adult patients are seeking treatment not just for healthy teeth but also for an improved occlusion and a healthy smile. Relatively new advances the wonderful world of orthodontics particularly in self-ligating braces, clear aligners, TADS, traditional mechanics, and orthognathic surgery to name a few, are just some of the factors that have led to an increased curiosity and need to improve one’s occlusion in the post adolescent years.
One particular problem that occurs when our patient’s age is the occurrence of wear and tear of the dentition bringing about a host of problems such as unfavorable tooth movement, poor contacts and loss of bone support which will be the focus of this lecture. This 30-minute presentation will share some multi-disciplinary guidelines in diagnosing and planning orthodontic treatment for patients with history of localized and generalized alveolar bone loss. It will also present some evidence-based guidelines on the management of periodontally compromised dentition applying specific periodontal and orthodontic mechano therapy principles on a few clinical cases.
