Orthodontic treatment concepts lack strong scientific evidence, often relying on opinion. This review guides evidence-based orthodontic occlusion goals, highlighting areas needing more research.

Area of Science:

  • Dentistry
  • Orthodontics
  • Dental Occlusion

Background:

  • Orthodontics focuses on altering teeth occlusion and jaw relationships.
  • Current orthodontic treatment concepts largely stem from personal opinion and retrospective studies.
  • There is a notable scarcity of robust scientific evidence supporting established occlusal goals in orthodontics.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide an evidence-based guide on the relationship between orthodontics and occlusion.
  • To critically evaluate the scientific foundation of current orthodontic occlusal concepts.
  • To identify and highlight areas where orthodontic evidence is weak or lacking.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of scientific literature pertaining to orthodontics and occlusion.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Analysis of existing studies to assess the level of evidence supporting occlusal goals.
  • Identification of consensus and divergence in the literature regarding orthodontic treatment objectives.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant lack of high-quality scientific evidence underpins many current orthodontic occlusal concepts.
    • Personal opinion and retrospective data form the basis for a majority of orthodontic treatment strategies.
    • Areas with weak evidence have been specifically identified within the review.

    Conclusions:

    • The practice of orthodontics requires a stronger foundation in evidence-based principles regarding occlusal goals.
    • Further research is crucial to validate or refine existing concepts in orthodontic occlusion.
    • Clinicians should be aware of the limitations in the evidence base when applying orthodontic treatment principles.
