The Role of Orthodontic Treatment and Prosthetics during the Recovery Period after Surgical Treatment

Abstract

The present paper considers the role of orthodontic treatment and prosthetics in the recovery period after surgical treatment of an injury to the maxillofacial area. Analyzing the sources within the framework of the research topic, the author cconcludes tthat surgical treatment of maxillofacial trauma and postoperative rehabilitation often requires an interdisciplinary approach, which makes it a difficult task. This is due to the fact that these injuries usually affect several structures of the oral cavity and face, including hard and soft tissues, often causing malocclusion. Thus, the clinical picture and the appropriate treatment strategy may vary greatly from one person to another. Therefore, before drawing up a final treatment plan, a thorough and thoughtful multidisciplinary assessment of each patient is necessary.

Nigerian Orthodontic Patients’ Satisfaction with Duration of Conventional Treatment, their Perception and Attitude towards Accelerated Orthodontics in a University Teaching Hospital

“…By leveraging cutting-edge techniques and technologies, accelerated orthodontics (AO) helps to optimize the alignment of teeth while minimizing the treatment duration and, therefore, provides patients with quicker, more efficient, and aesthetically pleasing outcomes [8]. In fact, accelerated orthodontic techniques aim to address these disadvantages by reducing treatment duration, offering patients a faster and potentially more comfortable path to achieving their desired results with fewer associated challenges [2,9,10,11,12]. Indeed, accelerated orthodontics has revolutionized traditional dental practices by employing innovative techniques to expedite tooth movement and enhance treatment outcomes.…”

Comparative Evaluation of Preventive and Interceptive Orthodontic Treatment Need in Children of 6-9 Years and 9.1- 12 Years

“…Because the IPION is the only orthodontic index that measures preventive and interceptive orthodontic treatment needs, and because there are currently no published studies utilising this index for the Central Indian population, research that focuses on measuring early orthodontic treatment needs in this population is critical. Such data would be helpful in bringing attention to this serious health issue [5]. The IPION will be used in this study to determine the percentage of Central Indian schoolchildren who would benefit from preventative and interceptive orthodontic therapy.…”
