Interdisciplinary synergy osseointegration-orthodontics to ensure best long-term outcomes

The need for interdisciplinary approach within the various areas of dentistry to collaborate in the complex rehabilitation has become very important. Many specialists are guilty of treating from an unidisciplinary point of view, rather than by what the patient actually needs and by the treatment options dentistry can provide. This can lead to incomplete diagnostics, improper treatment planning, and compromised outcomes. To achieve optimal dentofacial results, the approach to patient care should be interdisciplinary, in particular between implantologist and orthodontist, both in terms of orthodontics preparation to semplify osseointegrated implants insertion and in terms of implantology as support to orthodontics.
