Description
Summary:Use of orthodontics for tooth corrections has its own advantages with regards to the amount of tooth movement and the health of the supporting periodontal and alveolar bone. However, many times in cases that require a complex approach to treatment, only an orthodontist may not be able to accomplish the ultimate objectives unless associated with colleagues from other dental specialties. Thus, for an exemplary outcome, cooperation of other dental specialists working together is essential. Treatment carried out using periodontics, prosthodontics, and implant supported prosthesis for a patient undergoing orthodontic treatment and with congenitally missing maxillary lateral incisors, is presented as a case report.
