- Their impact on restorative and orthodontic treatment planning requires further consideration.
Purpose of the Study:
- To introduce and define the concept of anterior interferences within the dental field.
- To emphasize the importance of this concept in restorative and orthodontic treatment.
Main Methods:
- Literature review and conceptual analysis.
- Discussion of clinical implications for treatment mechanics.
Main Results:
- Anterior interferences should be carefully managed during and after orthodontic treatment.
- Specific techniques like controlling axial inclination and interproximal reduction are proposed.
Conclusions:
- Understanding and addressing anterior interferences is crucial for successful orthodontic and restorative outcomes.
