Abstract:
The restoration of facial harmony and establishment of a functional occlusion can pose unique problems in the treatment of complex dentoskeletal malformations. The advantages offered by the conjoint treatment planning, proper treatment sequencing, and the cooperation of various dental providers can create the best solutions for complex problems in patients. This case presentation demonstrates the interdisciplinary approach used by implant and restorative dentists, oral and maxillofacial surgeons, and orthodontists in a case that required "thinking outside the box" for optimal functional and esthetic solutions.
