Abstract: "A stable condylar position as a treatment goal-What is
the clinical evidence?"
Orthodontists are performing a full mouth reconstruction in enamel (Dr.
Ron Roth).
Keeping this in mind, it seems reasonable to try to implement principles
that apply in reconstructive and prosthetic dentistry also in orthodontic
patients.
What are the signs and symptoms of unstable occlusions? What is the
range of normal? Is it justified to strive for an ideal occlusion in our
patients? What are the long-term sequelae in compromise orthodontic
treatments? Do children and adolescent patients adapt to less than ideal
treatment results, or should we expect long-term consequences in the
orognathic system in these patients?
I will use patient examples to answer theses questions. I will review the
literature to support my point of view, that orthodontists should try to
achieve a stable condylar position in their patients.
