Abstract

SADA-GARRALDA, Vicente  and  CAFFESSE, Raúl G.. Orthodontic approach in the multidisciplinary treatment of adult patients: Its relashionship with dental implants and prosthodontics. RCOE [online]. 2004, vol.9, n.2, pp.195-207. ISSN 1138-123X.

An approach to therapy has been described in which the correct preparation and detailed planning of the cases allow for the obtainment of predictable results in spite of the complexity of their problems. It favours the communication and understanding of all the specialists that integrate the treatment team. The treatment planning set-up is used as a tool to communicate the different objectives that each member seeks. Furthermore, all the information obtained during the wax-up will shorten the treatment time during the surgical, orthodontic, and prosthodontic phases. On the other hand, the knowledge achieved helps to minimize the possible risks to be encountered during these phases.  All the specialists will benefit with this working methodology, being able to offer a much more satisfactory treatment to the patient.
