The use of orthodontics before fixed prosthodontics in restorative dentistry
For a variety of reasons, orthodontic intervention is often overlooked as a viable modality to correct occlusal, axial, rotational, and space discrepancies before undertaking fixed prosthetic rehabilitation. However, patient treatment is being enhanced as never before by such intervention. This valuable treatment option facilitates tooth preparation, path of insertion, optimum oral hygiene, and a better pontic and abutment design, while occlusal forces can be directed against the long axes of the teeth for a more predictable prognosis. Moreover, this interdisciplinary approach can be cost-effective to patients and their treating dentists from the standpoint of producing more stable, durable, and esthetic restorations.
