Multidisipliner Approach in Orthodontics and Endodontics

Orthodontics and endodontics are two significant and complementary fields of dentistry. Orthodontics focuses on the proper alignment of the teeth aesthetically and functionally, whereas endodontics deals with the health, pathology, and treatment of the dentin-pulp complex. The application of orthodontic forces causes inflammatory effects on the periodontal ligament and pulp. Therefore, the patient's oral tissues must be ensured to be completely healthy prior to orthodontic treatment. Close monitoring of pulp health during orthodontic treatment is crucial to maintain pulpal vitality, increase the mechanical resistance of the teeth, and ensure their long-term survival. Furthermore, management of dental trauma should be a priority to preserve pulpal vitality. In such cases, appropriate orthodontic approaches and treatment plans should be developed. By offering a specialized treatment alternative for immature teeth, regenerative endodontics promotes pulpal and periodontal dental health. In orthodontic treatment planning, it is essential to precisely ascertain orthodontic force parameters while considering the patient's distinctive characteristics. In this process, a multidisciplinary approach is vital to achieve optimal results for patients, relatives of the patients, and physicians.
