Abstract

In order to guarantee optimal care for our patients during orthodontic-surgical protocols and given the large number of interveners, some special cases request an even closer collaboration between practitioners. This article presents the very specific cases requiring even closer collaboration and specific care in order to optimize appointments. The collaboration between the surgeon and the orthodontist is particularly essential and will guarantee the excellence and the precision of the final result.
