OHI-S Orthodontic treatment in patients with periodontal and alveolar bone pathology

6 lessons + 1 free (11h 35min)

New online course for orthodontists on how to perform orthodontic treatment in patients with periodontal and alveolar bone pathology.

Within the course will be discussed:

– Light orthodontic forces when moving teeth in adult patients

– Space creation prior to implantation

– bodily tooth movement into an extraction space

– Relative and true tooth intrusion

– The use of aligners in adult patients

– Using Damon system in adult patients.

The OHI‑S Orthodontic Treatment in Patients with Periodontal and Alveolar Bone Pathology program is best for orthodontists, periodontists, restorative dentists, and oral surgeons who want structured, training in managing orthodontic cases complicated by reduced periodontal support or alveolar bone defects. It emphasizes evidence‑based, interdisciplinary protocols to achieve safe tooth movement, functional stability, and long‑term periodontal health.

Who Should Enroll
Orthodontists treating patients with compromised periodontal support or alveolar bone loss.
Periodontists collaborating on orthodontic cases where periodontal disease or bone pathology is present.
Restorative dentists & general practitioners planning rehabilitations that require orthodontic alignment in compromised sites.
Oral & maxillofacial surgeons managing surgical interventions for alveolar bone defects alongside orthodontic treatment.
Residents & fellows in orthodontics, periodontics, or oral surgery seeking advanced interdisciplinary training.
Dental technicians fabricating appliances for patients with reduced bone support.
What You’ll Learn
Diagnosis & risk assessment: evaluating periodontal and alveolar bone conditions before orthodontic treatment.
Biomechanics in compromised sites: safe tooth movement strategies with reduced bone support.
Interdisciplinary protocols: combining orthodontics with periodontal therapy and surgical interventions.
Regenerative approaches: guided bone regeneration (GBR), grafting, and tissue management in orthodontic cases.
Complication prevention: minimizing risks of root resorption, mobility, and periodontal breakdown.
Case‑based lessons: real examples of orthodontic treatment in patients with periodontal and alveolar bone pathology.
