How Much Periodontal Attachment do you Need to Perform an Orthodontic Treatment?

  • Prof Julia Harfin, Argentina

Orthodontic treatment in adults patients with reduced but healthy periodontium is a real challenge and should be performed by a multi and intere-disciplinary team.
There are no cephalometric norms that work for all patients and there are no arbitrary guidelines or special type of brackets that fit all patients . The best biomechanics must be determined in each patient according to the amount of periodontal attachment that is present.
A careful treatment protocol and regular periodontal monitoring are mandatory in order to obtain good results in combination with a long and permanent retention period.
Long term results with a significant osseous repair will be shown during the presentation
