Orthodontic Symposia

Aspects of orthodontic management of periodontally-compromised cases are scarcely offered in orthodontic programs, whereas most periodontology programs include aspects of adjunctive orthodontic therapy within the context periodontal treatment in their curricula. The notable lack of a systematic and thorough basic/applied analysis of the topic is addressed by the content of the symposium, which combines the evidence-based approach with extensive clinical treatise of the subject.

The evidence provided in the symposium and the case series, which portray the adjunct role of each specialty in the treatment planning of patients with periodontal or orthodontic needs, furnishes important theoretical and clinical information as well as practical guidelines, which result in the improvement of the quality of the outcome of therapeutic protocols involving ortho-perio interventions.
