Area of Science:
- Orthodontics
- Periodontology
- Digital Dentistry
Background:
- Orthodontic treatment aids periodontal issues by manipulating tissues.
- Aligner technology offers innovative solutions for multidisciplinary cases.
- Aligners facilitate precise 3D tooth movement planning and improve oral hygiene.
Observation:
- Two adult patients with distinct periodontal problems (superficial and deep) were treated.
- Both cases involved complex adult treatments requiring a multidisciplinary approach.
Findings:
- Successful treatment outcomes were achieved using clear aligners for both periodontal cases.
- Aligners proved suitable for managing periodontal issues, simplifying complex adult orthodontic therapy.
Implications:
- Clear aligners represent a viable and effective tool for managing periodontal problems in adults.
- The digital workflow inherent in aligner treatment is crucial for success, minimizing errors and treatment time.
