THE BENEFITS OF MULTIDISCIPLINARY TREATMENT ON PERIODONTAL STATUS IN ADULT PATIENTS – A NARRATIVE REVIEW AND CLINICAL CASE by Liliana Ioana Vâță, Cătălin Caliniuc, Ionuț Luchian, Monica Tatarciuc, Irina Nica

“…The main motivation for referring adults to the orthodontist is the desire to improve dental and smile aesthetics, missing teeth due caries, periodontal disease or trauma and subsequently functional impairment. Pre-restorative orthodontics is necessary for the most favourable distribution of teeth, with good root parallelism to optimise future restorative treatment, correction of occlusal plane for incisal guidance, improvement or correction of mucogingival and osseous defects, and for obtaining a more favourable crown-to-root ratio for long-term maintainability of periodontally compromised teeth. …”

The Relationship between Core Stability Muscles Isometric Strength and Endurance with the Postural Control and Walking Endurance in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis by Behnam Moradi, Seyed Sadreddin Shojaedin

“…On the other hand, no significant relationship was found between core muscles isometric tests with 6-minute with walk functional among the patients multiple sclerosis. Conclusion: Despite the significant relationship between core muscles isometric strength and endurance in patients MS on one of the functional capability variables (balance), it should be stated that taking advantage of other methods (dynamic methods and methods like Electromyography) is required in order to achieve more verified and certain results.…”
