The Importance of the Management of the Orthodontic-Pedodontic Patient: A Case Report

Satish Pai*

The absence of oral care during orthodontic treatment in children’s is the main cause of most of the damage to the hard and soft tissues of the oral cavity. The incidence of enamel demineralization (ortodontico white spot lesions) and caries need oral preventive-personalized paths. Professional oral hygiene, instructions for home-oral hygiene, fluoride and sealing. Many studies confirm that “the presence in the mouth of orthodontic fixed and/or mobile devices can compromise plaque control”. With this case report, I want to demonstrate how the intervention of the dental hygienist is necessary to preserve the state of oral health in the oral cavity during orthodontic treatment.
