Speaker(s):More and more patients - especially adults - are offered complex multidisciplinary treatment. Is such complicated, repetitive long term therapy always necessary? Where is the boundary between correct treatment and "overtreatment"? During the lecture the management algorithms in patients with hypodontia, tissue defects will be presented as well as changes, which can be achieved in macro and micro aesthetics with a special emphasis on orthodontic, periodontal, implantological and prosthetic treatment.
Learning Objectives:
Maturational changes are inevitable and impact the stability of orthodontic treatment results. Treatment plans mostly do not include consideration of stability; moreover, retention planning in an effort to enhance stability should start at the treatment planning stage. The attendee will be exposed to knowledge of factors impacting stability and subsequent posttreatment retention management which is essential for successful treatment outcomes.
Learning Objectives:

Speaker(s):Bill Proffit playfully said, that “No one knows more than a second-year orthodontic resident.” He was alluding to the overconfidence of a new orthodontist who has yet to experience the struggles of private practice. Often, I wish that I could go back in time and speak to my younger self so that I could share the valuable experiences I eventually learned through trial and error; if only I knew then what I know now. This heart-felt presentation will be a journey of my personal and professional growth, from an overconfident resident to a humbled orthodontist. This lecture will go deeper into topics discussed at this past GORP meeting.
