Resumen
CAMPOS-BUENO, Laura; LORENTE-ACHUTEGUI, Pedro; GONZALEZ-IZQUIERDO, Jesús y OLIAS- MORENTE, Francisco. Coordination and multidisciplinary approach to a complex case. RCOE [online]. 2006, vol.11, n.1, pp.95-103. ISSN 1138-123X.
This clinical article describes the successful treatment of an aesthetic and functional problem caused by the bad positioning and/or absence of teeth plus the loss of dental support in a 41 year old female patient. The article includes the discussion of various objectives and important decisions taken during the process. The four phases of multidisciplinary treatment are analysed step by step (periodontics, orthodontics, prosthodontics), until the following clinical objectives are achieved: 1) conservation of the stability of the periodontal and implant tissues; 2) restoration of the periodontal architecture; 3) restoration of the masticatory function; 4) achievement of a satisfactory aesthetic result; 5) the patient's satisfaction both in the aesthetic and functional aspect. This article claims that the integral scientific vision combined with practical dentistry and adequate professional coordination resulted in the successful completion of a complicated project that lasted over two years and was carried out with no overlaps, interferences or delays.
