Resumo
Background: A cross-sectional survey was conducted to gather information regarding the opinion of Brazilian
specialists in both orthodontics and implantology on multidisciplinary oral rehabilitation in partially edentulous
patients with malocclusion.
Material and Methods: A total of 305 specialists participated in a telephone survey and answered an ad hoc 10-
item questionnaire, including the request of total skull cone-beam tomographies (CBCT) and the use of 3D digital
planning software, the best moment of treatment to place dental implants, and the integration of orthodontics in
implantology.
Results: Most participants did not request CBCT (90.8%) or 3D digital planning software images (92.3%) to
diagnose and plan multidisciplinary oral rehabilitation. By contrast, 91.1% of participants would use an already
dental implant as anchorage for orthodontics, 73.8% had already used implants for this purpose, 47.9% selected
4 months as the waiting time between implant placement and its use as anchorage, and 58.4% had already placed
dental implants having in mind using them as anchorage for orthodontics and anticipating the oral rehabilitation
process. Moreover, 93.4% of participants stated to avoid applying orthodontic forces in implants with unfavourable
prognosis. A total of 67.9% of participants got the degree of specialist in Orthodontics before that of specialist in
Implantology. The main reason for obtaining the other specialty degree was to be able to thoroughly exercise the
two specialties
