Presentation Description/Abstract: Until recently there was a paucity of information on the concise relationship between endodontics and orthodontics during treatment planning decisions especially following tooth trauma and its sequelae. This relationship ranges from effects on the pulp from orthodontic treatment and the potential for resorption during tooth movement, to the clinical management of teeth requiring integrated endodontic and orthodontic treatment. This presentation will provide both a literature basis for this relationship along with treatment directives to meet challenges in clinical practice.

Learning Objectives:

Identify the impact of orthodontic tooth movement (OTM) on the pulp and the supporting periodontium.
Identify and discuss treatment planning for teeth that have undergone trauma and are planned for OTM.
Identify issues of tooth resorption as it relates to the dental pulp, trauma and OTM using the literature as a guide for diagnostic and treatment choices.
