INTERDISCIPLINARY THERAPY IN ORTHODONTICS: A CASE REPORT

Dr Dhaval Ranjitbhai Lekhadia, Dr Jugal Sherdiwala

Abstract :

Interdisciplinary approach is indispensable in patients with generalized spacing and microdontia. Team work is required when it comes to treatment of teeth with congenital defects. A combined interdisciplinary treatment approach will yield a result best suited for the patient as well as the clinicians. The role of orthodontist in such an interdisciplinary treatment approach can be primary or secondary. This case report describes the treatment of a class I malocclusion with generalized spacing and microdontia. Primary role of orthodontist in this case was to level and align the maxillary and mandibular arches, close the spaces such that enough space is left for restoration of microdontic teeth with veneers. It describes an interdisciplinary approach for improved esthetic result. < clear="all" style="page–eak–before:always;mso–eak–type:section–eak" />
