courses and events

• Importance of symmetry in facial esthetics and mandibular conditions as major contributors to facial asymmetry

• Orthognathic surgery as a treatment option for considerable facial asymmetry including surgery first option

• Non surgical treatment options for asymmetries in the vertical plane (roll asymmetries)

• Non surgical treatment options for yaw asymmetries (particularly in the mandible)• Treatment options of Class II Subdivision malocclusion• Treatment of Class I malocclusion with midline deviation

The following specific topics will be discussed:

KURSY ORTODONTYCZNE

Day 1:

Contemporary treatment of facial and dental asymmetry orthodontic treatment addresses asymmetries with a dental etiology and mild to moderate skeletal asymmetries. TADs facilitate orthodontic treatment of asymmetries by allowing control of the occlusal planes. However, surgical treatment is indicated in patients with significant skeletal asymmetry.This lecture will illustrate a continuum of approaches to address facial asymmetry, from non-surgical treatment to varying levels of surgical intervention. New surgical techniques to address facial asymmetry that involve 3D virtual surgical planning, TADs, and surgery first approach will be presented.

• Describe equivalent force systems through clinical examples• Review the different two bracket interactions with their resulting force systems• Describe the versatility of the one couple system• Illustrate the concepts of biomechanics in skeletal anchorage

Day 2:

• Describe the treatment planning process in complex multidisciplinary cases using endosseous dental implants and TADs for absolute anchorage.

• Illustrate the different force systems that can be delivered through endosseous dental implants and TADs and describe the importance of following a proper sequence in the mechanics plan.

• Describe the versatility of cantilever systems in providing direct anchorage from endosseous dental implants and TADs.

• Present the biomechanics of forced eruption and different approaches• Discuss ridge development procedures and their predictability.

Objectives:

Dr. Flavio Uribe

Multidisciplinary treatment in orthodonticsadult patients with mutilated dentitions present a challenge to the orthodontist from the treatment planning phase to the execution of treatment. Knowledge of biomechanics allows to plan for the most cost effective alternative in restoring a functional occlusion and esthetics in adult patients with large edentulous spans, multiple missing teeth, supraerupted buccal segments, deep overbites, and excessive incisor display. Conventional endosseous dental implants and TADs provide the necessary anchorage for the management of this type of complex orthodontic problems. Biomechanical concepts will be presented in the use of implants placed during orthodontic treatment to effectively achieve the desired occlusal and esthetic outcomes.

Concepts in biomechanics and their application to clinical orthodonticsthe understanding of basic concepts in biomechanics are critical in order to understand the mechanism of action of different appliances in orthodontics. Equivalent force systems and equilibrium are 2 fundamental concepts which can be used in day to day clinical orthodontics to increase the predictability of tooth movement and therefore of treatment outcomes
