by Nardi Gianna Maria

Clinical and microbiological aspects for the health of the child undergoing orthodontic treatment - The dental hygienist and interceptive orthodontics - Evolution of the pre-in-post orthodontic treatment prevention clinical approach - Caries Risk assessment management. - Fissure sealing: when, how and why - Assessment of hard tissue lesions: genetic, pre- and post-natal factors. - The guided regeneration of enamel - Pre boding prophylaxis systems - Levels of attention in debonding - Follow up in the developmental age - Differences between aligners and traditional multibracktes therapy - How the oral microbiota changes in pediatric patients - Proactive action for black stain management The multidisciplinary approach in the management of the orthodontic patient allows a proactive and minimally invasive action for the maintenance of the dental and periodontal tissues. It is appropriate to provide personalized clinical prevention protocols, both professional and at home, to guarantee a constant state of eubiosis during all phases of the therapy and to maintain the health of the periodontal tissues. In the various phases of the treatment, from the patient's enrollment to the conclusion of the therapy, it is essential to guarantee a state of integrity of the dental enamel and to have an optimal remineralizing approach, so as not to affect the adhesion of both the brackets and the attachments during the treatment phase. bonding, and avoid irreversible injuries at the end of therapy. The focus will be presented on all the innovative prophylaxis systems that guarantee an optimal bond to avoid an interruption of therapy given by the decementation of the attachments themselves in order to draw up a timing for the suspension and/or intake of the various active ingredients and draw up a work flow in the pre, during and post orthodontic treatment phases in line with the studies carried out and according to the guidelines already present in the literature.
