Opis

Dental aesthetics are a key factor in overall physical attractiveness, which also contributes to self-esteem. This is one of the main reasons for patients to consider or undergo orthodontic treatment. The benefits of orthodontic treatment are numerous and in most cases, the benefits outweigh the possible disadvantages. Orthodontic treatment can play an important role in enhancing esthetics and function in patients. However, a number of iatrogenic effects are possible during or after orthodontic treatment. Iatrogenic damage during orthodontic treatment is defined as deleterious effects to the dentition, periodontium or the patient that may occur as a result of orthodontic treatment. The complications associated with orthodontic treatment are a result of a multifactorial process including the patient's own biology, clinical skills of the orthodontist, orthodontic appliances, orthodontic treatment procedures and length of treatment. This book talks about the iatrogenic effects from orthodontics and also provides methods to treat them.
