2009 AAO Webinar - Laser Surgery

Credits: None available.

Using close-up video from the live patient simulcast at this years AAO Annual Session, Dr. Yanosky will review the following procedures: a post-treatment gingivectomy procedure, mid-treatment tissue recontouring for poor oral hygiene and a maxillary canine soft-tissue exposure.

Learning Objectives:

• Review of the diagnostic criteria
• How the soft-tissue laser can improve your clinical results
• How to effectively incorporate the soft tissue laser into your clinical orthodontic practice

2009 AAO Webinar - Class III Camouflage Treatment: What are the Limits?

Credits: None available.

Class III malocclusion can be intercepted in young patients with facemasks and chincaps. In adult patients, this malocclusion can be camouflaged with fixed appliances and orthodontic tooth movement. What is the limit of orthodontic and orthopedic treatment? With the advent of mini-implants, do they increase the possibility of camouflage orthodontic treatment?

Learning Objectives:

• The orthodontic and orthopedic limits for camouflaging Class III treatment
• New possibilities in camouflaging Class III malocclusion

• Dr. Peter Ngan, DMD

2008 NESO Annual Meeting - Three-Dimensional Imaging for the Busy Orthodontic Practice

Credits: None available.

The standard of care in orthodontics continues to evolve as technological advances are introduced to the market. This seminar aims to give a brief description of the latest three dimensional modalities available to orthodontics and to give the busy orthodontist an idea on how to use technology for the advancement of patient education, management and care. The applications of facial imaging devices and new cone beam technology will be discussed and demonstrated.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn more about CBCT Acquisitions Systems
• Learn clinical applications
• Learn about radiation and regulation issues
• Learn more about Small Prints

• Chung Kau, BDS, MScD, MBA, PhD, FDSRCPS, MOrth, RCS, FFDRCSI, FAMS

2008 NESO Annual Meeting - Misadventures in Orthodontics

Credits: None available.

Orthodontics has been described as simple but not easy." Unfortunately, orthodontic complications and failures do occur. This presentation will describe some of the misadventures that occur before, during, and after treatment, point toward the etiology of these complications, comment on their ethical and legal consequences, and explore their meaning in terms of the development of expertise.

Learning Objectives:

• Describe orthodontic complications in terms of type and etiology
• Describe the essential differences between novices and experts in terms of various dental and orthodontic treatments
• Provide guidance so that practitioners can judge whether treatment complication suggests ethical or legal compromise

• Rolf G. Behrents, DDS, MS, PhD, PhD(Hon)

2008 NESO Annual Meeting - Esthetics in Orthodontic Finishing of Adolescent and Adult Orthodontic Patients

Credits: None available.

Based on the research evidence from different experimental models that will be presented and clinically treated orthodontic cases, this lecture will provide many practical tips on making intentional changes in tooth morphology and the surrounding marginal and interdental gingival. Such performance is required in order to perfect the orthodontic treatment results in adolescent and, particularly, in adult cases. Topics include: (1) grinding with diamond instruments to intentionally change tooth form for esthetic, functional, and stability reasons; (2) mesiodistal enamel reduction (stripping) to reshape teeth to ideal morphology, and treat or prevent the development of interdental gingival recession (black triangles); (3) routine incisal edge contourings; (4) the use of porcelain laminate veneers and veneer crowns for improved esthetics and age relevance, and (5) different techniques for crown lengthening procedures.

Detailed how-to-do-it advice on the various procedures will be given to illustrate optimal performance and common mistakes for each. Many clinical examples will be provided for each item in this lecture.

Learning Objectives:

• Experience that even aggressive grinding of teeth can be done without iatrogenic damage
• Learn that several forms of tooth recon touring are needed to provide properly esthetic results
• How-to-create beautiful teeth and full interdental gingival papillae in adult orthodontic cases.

• Bjorn U. Zachrisson, DDS, MSD, PhD
