Conference summary
This 3-hour course delves into the multifaceted interrelationship between orthodontics and periodontics, with a strong emphasis on interdisciplinary treatment planning in contemporary dental practice.
It explores how integrated approaches not only optimize esthetic and functional outcomes but also expand therapeutic possibilities, especially in complex adult cases.
The course will examine how orthodontic tooth movement interacts with the periodontal apparatus and how this interplay informs decisions regarding timing, sequencing, and risk management in patients with compromised periodontal health.
Special attention will be given to the integration of implant therapy within the orthodontic-periodontal continuum, including site development through orthodontic extrusion or intrusion, space management, and the role of orthodontics in achieving ideal implant positioning.
Attendees will explore the critical role of periodontal and peri-implant plastic surgery in achieving esthetic outcomes, with focus on soft tissue augmentation, root coverage procedures, and the preservation or enhancement of the periodontal phenotype prior to, during, or after orthodontic and implant therapy.
The course also introduces participants to Periodontally Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO), including piezoincisions and concomitant soft and/or hard tissue grafting for phenotype modification.
This biologically driven technique not only shortens treatment time but also enhances periodontal health and stability, making it especially valuable in adult patients or those with thin phenotypes.
Clinical case presentations and evidence-based discussion will guide practitioners in effectively coordinating interdisciplinary care.
Learning objectives:
- analyze the bidirectional relationship between orthodontic forces and periodontal tissues in health and disease;
- plan interdisciplinary cases involving orthodontics and implant therapy, with appropriate timing and sequencing;
- understand indications, techniques, and outcomes of periodontal and peri-implant plastic surgery in the context of orthodontic treatment;
- integrate PAOO, including piezoincisions and soft tissue phenotype modification, to enhance periodontal stability and accelerate orthodontic movement;
- evaluate clinical cases demonstrating the synergy between orthodontics, periodontics, and implant therapy.
