Interdisciplinary dentistry is proving to be the most effective means by which we can deliver the highest level of service to our patients. Whether addressing specific cosmetic concerns or providing advanced rehabilitation and restoration, through coordinated efforts at the specialist level, we can raise our game and provide a better end result.
This seminar will communicate to orthodontists, periodontists, prosthodontists, oral surgeons and all dentists through the demonstration of carefully documented clinical cases and specific literature citing. Areas in which the various specialists can work in concert to better serve our patients will be illustrated. Examples such as the use of forced eruption, coordination of gingival margins, implant placement and utilization in tooth movement will be examined.
Orthodontic interactions with implant dentistry will be examined in detail. Orthodontic implant site development, both from a tissue modification standpoint and establishing correct special relations, will be illustrated.Further, the use of implants as orthodontic anchorage will be illustrated in depth, both from direct and indirect strategies. From that body of knowledge, future directions for miniscrew usage will be shown, including aligner therapy and advancements in that arena.
The forum will provide for a platform upon which we can all begin to communicate and explore some of the latest developments, many of which are very exciting. Participants should come prepared to expand their thinking and horizons.
