Abstract
Patients: Patient is a 25-year-old female.She was referred by her orthodontist.During orthodontic treatment,the patient requested esthetic improvement for discoloration of her maxillary anterior teeth and metal restoration of her molars. The orthodontist referred the patient to our clinic because it was deemed necessary to consult with a prosthodontist before completing orthodontic treatment. We consulted with the orthodontist on the approach of prosthetic treatment after orthodontic treatment,and we set common treatment goals for the orthodontic treatment. After the orthodontic treatment,we re-evaluated the patient and identified the functional and esthetic problems that could not be improved by orthodontic treatment,and improved them by prosthetic treatment.The treatment results were satisfactory to the patient. Discussion: The orthodontic treatment and improvement of tooth position allowed restorative treatment of the anterior and molar teeth with minimal intervention.As a outcome,the pulp was less affected and the enamel was preserved as much as possible,thus maintaining the strength of the tooth and the predictability of the tooth and the prosthetic device. Conclusion: The present case is important that a close interdisciplinary approach between orthodontist and prosthodontist for the success of prosthetic treatment,even in the middle of orthodontic treatment,since orthodontic treatment is available for a wide range of age groups.
