Artificial intelligence is now involved in many aspects of our everyday life. In digital orthodontic practice in particular, practitioners are constantly and mostly unknowingly confronted with different levels of implementations of artificial intelligence. The present article, the third in a three-part series, will seek to shed light on some of these algorithms using common examples from a standard orthodontic digital workflow.

Within the framework of treatment planning for missing teeth, the fundamental question is how to offer long-term solutions. One option is to close the space with a prosthetic restoration such as a dental implant or fixed or removable partial denture. Another option is orthodontic space closure, which makes it possible to avoid further tooth preparation, thus reducing the tooth substance required, or even generate new bone through the tooth movement into the gap due to the interdental fibres. Compared to space opening, however, space closure has far greater requirements in terms of anchorage. Preservation of the sagittal vertical overlap and adjustment of the dental midlines often necessitates use of skeletal anchorage, especially in cases of dental asymmetry. The present case report demonstrates a complex treatment using aligner orthodontics in combination with the Mesialslider (TADMAN, Gunningen, Germany) after loss of a maxillary molar, including a mandibular incisor extraction approach, closure of anterior open bite and solving of unilateral reverse articulation.

Artificial intelligence is now firmly established in society. Whether we are searching on Google (Mountain View, CA, USA), being guided by recommendation algorithms or using facial recognition or smart home software, artificial intelligence is a daily presence in our lives, and in almost all areas: business, science, medicine, and increasingly in orthodontics. What is artificial intelligence, what does it encompass, what can it already do in orthodontics and where is it taking us in the discipline? What opportunities does it offer and what negative effects does it have? In this article, the first in a three-part series, we will discuss these questions and strive to answer them.

Part 2Orofacial orthopaedics is a well proven treatment option in the young patient, often followed by fixed multibracket appliance treatment in a second phase. Nowadays, aligner orthodontics allow a treatment alternative to multibracket appliances, offering fewer potential side effects and more comfortable and aesthetic treatments for the patient. The following article describes several options of functional orthodontics in combination with aligner treatment.

Die Aligner-Orthodontie hat sich innerhalb der vergangenen zwei Jahrzehnte als fester Bestandteil in der kieferorthopädischen Behandlung etabliert. Die Schienen ermöglichen eine Verbesserung von Ästhetik und Funktion im stomatognathen System auf komfortable und nahezu unsichtbare Art und Weise. Einhergehend mit dieser ästhetischeren Variante der kieferorthopädischen Behandlung ist die Mitarbeit des Patienten für ein Behandlungsgelingen essentiell. Aus diesem Grunde war die AlignerOrthodontie zu Beginn besonders populär bei erwachsenen Patienten. Der folgende Beitrag stellt dar, wie eine Frühbehandlung mittels Alignertherapie mit einer geeigneten in-house-Software in Eigenregie geplant und umgesetzt werden kann.

"Das Schlüsselelement bei der kieferorthopädischen Behandlung erwachsener Patienten mit Parodontitis ist die Beseitigung oder Verringerung der Plaque-Akkumulation und der Zahnfleischentzündung. Dies setzt voraus, dass während der gesamten Behandlung ein besonderes Augenmerk auf die Unterweisung in Mundhygiene, Geräteaufbau und die parodontalen Untersuchungen gelegt wird." Dieses Zitat aus dem Jahr 1998 war und ist bis heute richtig. Die Kontrolle des Biofilms ist die wichtigste Bedingung und ein wichtiger Erfolgsfaktor bei jeder kieferorthopädischen Behandlung. Auch in aggressiven parodontalen Fällen ist eine kieferorthopädische Behandlung mit strenger Biofilmkontrolle möglich.
