Ortho- Perio Symbiosis

Well-coordinated multidisciplinary dental treatment aims to provide satisfactory aesthetics function and long-term prognosis for patients. An effective cooperation makes it possible to observe clinical problems from different perspectives and to better understand the interactions between different specialties. Periodontal health is essential for any form of dental treatment. In order to avoid undesirable consequences during and after OTM a thorough assessment of periodontal health should be provided. Attention should be paid to dental hygiene parameters especially in patients wearing fixed appliances and in periodontally susceptible individuals. Other interesting fields where the interaction between orthodontics and periodontology is very important have not been adequately explored yet.
