Factors to Be Considered in Orthodontic Interdisciplinary Approach – A Review

Abstract

Orthodontic treatment can be part of a dental interdisciplinary treatment as a way to help other specialists in the team achieve efficient treatment results when dealing with complex cases. The team members must have basic and sufficient knowledge related to other disciplines if they are to have common ground for fruitful discussion of treatment options and possible solutions that will provide optimum esthetics and function, especially for adult patients. This article discusses important factors related to endodontics, periodontics, and restorative/prosthodontics and their interactions with orthodontics.
