Abstract

Ortho-Endo Relations: What Should We Know About? Based on Literature Review

di Shapinko Yoav

The main objective of the lecture is to discover and show the possible clinical and scientific interaction between the two disciplines: endodontics and orthodontics in the light of current literature evidences. Despite the fact that many articles were published in this topic, only several systematic reviews exist in the field, mainly of narrative nature, or based on the sporadic clinical reports. Although the inconsistences are still present in the current literature, the clinician should adopt some systemized guidelines based on the existing evidences to manage the several situations as: the timing of the orthodontic treatment after the Root Canal Treatment, the possible pulpal vitality loss after the orthodontic movements, the management of the TAB (Transient Apical Breakdown) cases and so on. In addition, the lecture presents several medico-legal aspects of inter-disciplinary endo-ortho cases that might unfortunately rase and therefore lead to unpleasant and unnecessary moral and judicial costs.
