LIVRO International Journal Of Orthodontics and Implantology: Correction of Crowding and Protrusion Complicated by Impacted Molars Bilaterally (English Edition) PDF Dr. Chris Chang

20 years ago I had the opportunity to witness the pioneer work of using implants in orthodontics by Dr. Eugene Roberts. 20 years later I am fortunate enough to study implant therapy from three great teachers, Drs. Kwang Bum Park, Homayoun Zadeh and Fernando Rojas-Vizcaya. For long there has been little collaboration between orthodontic treatment and implant therapy not only in my own practice, but also in academia or international formal dental associations. In order to fill such gap in knowledge, since last year our journal has opened a new section dedicated specifically to implant or implant/ortho combined treatment. Since then, our journal has received enormous responses. I am convinced the future of dentistry is in interdisciplinary treatment and the most exciting and yet neglected area of development is the collaboration between orthodontics and implantology. As such, with the encouragement of my four great teachers, I, together with several distinguished colleagues, have decided to establish a new association, International Association of Orthodontists and Implantologists (iAOI), to promote the cross-fertilization of these two areas. Our journal will also be re-named to International Journal of Orthodontics and Implantology.
