Being\u00a0the first systemized source of clinical evidence on the topic, the symposium introduces the participant to the orthodontic-periodontal interactions in everyday clinical practice, by considering the periodontal considerations of the orthodontic patient, and the contribution of orthodontic treatment to the periodontally-compromised dentition.<\/em><\/p>\n Within the scope of these two basic axes, a wide variety of topics are analyzed, such as recessions and grafting and surgical management of the recessions, corticotomy in orthodontic routine, orthodontically-induced stresses in the periodontium, orthodontic treatment in advanced periodontitis, biomechanics for the periodontic patient and a review of the evidence for the ortho-perio interactions. <\/em>In addition, a section covers fundamentals of oral physiology with regard to the topic, with presentations on attachment of microbial to surfaces, epidemiology of the periodontal disease and pellicle organization-plaque accumulation on materials.<\/em><\/p>\n The analysis of the evidence on the topic along with the illustrated case material, assist the participant in formulating principles of management of the entire spectrum of challenges encountered in adult orthodontics and interdisciplinary treatment.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>
