Scientific Program Outline

The success of any congress is principally based upon the calibre of the Scientific Programme. There are other important factors, venue, social activities etc. and these will all be catered for in Sydney, however the Scientific Programmes for the orthodontists and the Allied Health Professional Programmes for Dental technicians, hygienists, dental attendants and office staff has been our principle focus.

I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to have Professor Francesca Miotti, Professor Ali Darendeliler, Dr Michael Harkness and Dr Rick Olive to join me as the SPC Executive and we have put together a team of very highly respected orthodontists from around the world, albeit with a bias towards the Asian-Pacific region, especially orthodontists from TAO,JOS,KAO and COS.

The Scientific Programme will be challenging as delegates will have difficult choices to make at any time on any day such is the quality and variety of the lectures. The World Village Day programme will highlight this aspect and similarly it will be difficult to choose between the two outstanding Pre-Congress Courses.

It has not been easy to put this programme together as there are many deserving people who are not able to be accommodated. All presenters are to be congratulated on acceptance of their invitations as they are genuinely "putting something back". We are very grateful to them all as they are making genuine sacrifices, all they need is your support.

The members of the Scientific Programme Committee look forward to your attendance and enjoyment of their work.

"Everyone should visit Sydney at least once in their lifetime". Be there!

Chair, Scientific Program Committee

Pre-Congress Courses

TAD/Micro Implants in Orthodontics

Some 6 years ago, at an Asian-Pacific Implant Congress a group of senior and experienced orthodontists held a meeting to form a “Task Force’ whose objective was to promote the considerable experienced and knowledge of Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese orthodontists in the field of TAD’s /Micro Implants to the rest of the world”.

The Task Force was to be headed by Professor Junji Sugawara (Japan) and his co-leaders were to be Professor Hee-Moon Kyung (Korea) and Professor Chiung Shing Huang (Taiwan). Amongst their many plans was to have a World TAD/Micro-Implant Congress in Singapore in 2012.

During the meeting I suggested that they not wait for the 2012 but that I would organise such a forum at the 7^th IOC, 6-9^th February, 2010, in Sydney and this is it (on 5^th Feb 09).

This course will be given by a very distinguished group of leaders in the field not just from Northern Asia but from the rest of the world as well. The course is being coordinated by Dr John Jin-Jong Lin (Taiwan) and being appropriately led by Dr Jungi Sugawarra (Japan) and Professor Young Cheol Park (Korea) two of the pioneers in the field who will chair a session each along with Professor Hee-Moon Kyung (Korea) and Dr John Jin-Jong Lin (Taiwan) who will also ask Dr Jason Cope (USA) to “tie everything together” at the end of the day prior to a final Q & A session.

This day represents a unique occasion for delegates to experience a special event in the field of TAD’s/Micro-Implants.

Chair, Scientific Program Committee

"The Clinician’s Delight" - The Aesthetics and Performance of Orthodontic Appliances

Early on in the development of the Scientific Programme it was decided upon doing something a little different – doing something that would just not be a worthwhile learning experience but also be entertaining and fun. We hope this course is just that for the speakers and the delegates, albeit with a commercial bias.

It embraces recent history removable appliances (conventional and sequential), fixed lingual and buccal appliances (metallic and ceramic), retention appliances and finally Professor Anmol Kahla is to summarise the day with an evidence based summary.

Most of the speakers have commercial allegiances and so there will be competition and unashamed self and company promotion (the entertainment and the fun).

The five major congress sponsors have their representatives in place:

Professor Anoop Sondhi – 3M Unitek
Dr John Voudouris – GAC
Dr Arturo Vela-Hernandez – TP Orthodontics, Inc.
Dr Mark Ewing – Strite Industries
Dr Tom Pitts - ORMCO

And most of the other speakers are linked to commercial entities.

Chair, Scientific Program Committee

Allied Professionals and Staff

The Allied Dental Health professionals and Staff Programme, featuring many respected Australian and International speakers, has been structured specifically to improve the depth of clinical and professional knowledge of all the members of the Orthodontic Team.

We are also putting together an exciting Social Programme, to ensure that you not only improve your professional skills, but also get a chance to have fun, socialize and network with colleagues from all over the world, in one of it’s most beautiful cities, Sydney.

World Champion Nurses and Clerical Staff Competition

Following its successful debut at the 6^th IOC meeting in Paris, the "World Champion Nurse Competition" will once again be a feature of the Allied Dental Professionals, Nurses and Staff Programme at the 7^th International Orthodontic Congress in Sydney in February, 2010.

Each WFO affiliated national orthodontic society or association may nominate one candidate for the final judging in Sydney. The Judging Panel will select a maximum of 10 finalists from the submissions received by 18 December 2009. These finalists will be invited to present in person at the Congress. Your society or association may either nominate your candidate directly or hold your own national competition to select your nominee.

We are suggesting that national societies offer to sponsor their nominee to the Sydney Congress in order to encourage wider participation in what should be an excellent educational exercise for all staff.

We look forward to your support and participation in this exciting event.

If you would like to participate, please download the application form and guidelines and send it to the Congress Organizer, ICMS Pty Ltd for consideration

"A Clinician’s Delight" - The Aesthetics and Performance of Orthodontic Appliances

Eustaquio Araujo

Title:
Should early class ii treatment be put to rest?

Synopsis:
What is the most appropriate time to treat in orthodontics? The controversy on this subject is part of our daily orthodontic practice and has also become a passionate issue in academics. When, why and how to intervene? Why do we normally find some extreme positions on that matter? Radicalism in either direction may strongly reflect on the excellence goal one wants to achieve.
It seems that there are many areas of agreement for certain types of intervention however "Early Class II Treatment" has been proved to be the strongest area of controversy. When and why should Orthodontics be implemented in these situations?
Based on evidence and clinical demonstrations this lecture will focus on different variables and situations with the purpose to open minds to selecting the most adequate route to a successful result for Class II treatment.

Hyoung-Seon Baik

Title:
Treatment of the orthodontic patients with various periodontal problems

Synopsis:
Treatment of adult patients with periodontal problems needs close collaboration and communication among the specialists for the optimal treatment result. Existing periodontal problems can be challenging factors in the orthodontic treatment planning. Orthodontic tooth movement, however, may be an effective tool for the improvement of the bone defects, via the 'with the bone' movement. The orthodontic mini-implants provide many treatment options and possibilities for the treatment of the periodontally compromised patients with relatively high predictability of the outcome. In this presentation, cases displaying various periodontal problems and the effective troubleshooting will be demonstrated.

Krister Bjerklin

Title:
Long-term follow-up of root resorption on incisors adjacent to ectopic maxillary canines.

Synopsis:
We know from CT-studies that in about 50 per cent of cases with ectopically positioned maxillary canines there is associated resorption of the roots of the neighbouring incisors.
The question is the long term fate of these severely resorbed incisors, left in situ. Very little has been written about the long term survival of these incisors with root resorption.
At the Orthodontic department in Jönköping 2 studies have been conducted to investigate what has happened with the resorbed incisor roots. In one of the studies the long term follow- up was more than 10 years, after surgical exposure and orthodontic treatment of the ectopically positioned canines was finished, in all cases.

Naphtali Brezniak

Title:
Orthodontically Induced Inflammatory Root Resorption - Personal Approach.

Synopsis:
Orthodontically induced inflammatory root resorption (OIIRR), is a certain adverse effect of force application. The extent of this inflammatory process depends on factors such as the virulence or aggressiveness of the different resorbing cells, and the vulnerability and sensitivity of the tissues involved. Unfortunately root resorption does not receive the considerations it is due. The lecture will discuss current issues related to the OIIRR and will focus ways to control OIIRR during treatment and individual variation and susceptibility that still remains beyond our understanding.

Pongsri Brudvik

Title:
Tooth movement, root resorption, repair and re-activation: Microscopic evidences

Synopsis:
Tooth movement by a fixed orthodontic appliance has been based on activation of a force system followed by repeated activations as long as tooth movement is wanted. Beside a successful tooth movement, root resorption has been frequently reported. In the clinical situation, when root resorption is observed, it is essential to stop the process so that the treatment can be accomplished without further worsening. The questions are; is it sufficient to passively retain the appliance for a limited period of time or it is safer to completely release the tooth from appliance so that a certain relapse ensues?

Donald Burden

Title:
The influence of the method of ligation on orthodontic sliding

Synopsis:
The overall aim of this study was to provide clinicians with comparative data on the resistance to orthodontic sliding associated with currently available ligation methods. A wide range of commonly used ligation methods were assessed using a novel standardized friction testing procedure which closely simulated the oral environment and orthodontic tooth movement. Among the eleven ligation methods tested three were self-ligation bracket systems, seven were elastomeric modules and a stainless steel ligature. Statistical analysis revealed that there were significant differences between almost all of the methods of ligation in the mean force required to overcome the resistance to sliding.

Carine Carels

Topic:
Basic genetics applied to orthodontics:

Synopsis:
Despite the Human Genome was already fully sequenced in 2003 (HGP), the genetic/genomic mechanisms, active during dental and craniofacial development and growth, are only just being elucidated. Although many genetic mutations and some polymorphisms have already been discovered as causal factors of some dentofacial abnormalities and syndromes, the picture is far from complete. Variation in rate and/or onset of tooth movement, either or not associated with root resorption, and differences in reponses to jaw orthopedic treatment are waiting to be explained (epi)genetically. With the growing knowledge on the genetic base of tooth movement, interaction with molecular mechanisms underlying the biological response will become available. Beside biomechanics, future orthodontic treatment will also comprise personalized biosynthetic adjuvants if a genetic risk for root resorption or periodontal breakdown was genetically diagnosed.
Clinical questions on how to interact most efficiently and most safely with the genotype-phenotype balance, will gradually be elucidated.

Bio:
Carine CARELS completed her PhD and orthodontic speciality training in 1985 (KULeuven, Belgium). She stayed at the University of Nijmegen (TheNetherlands) as postdoc-trainee from 1985-1987.

Renato Cocconi

Title:
Diagnosing on the face

Synopsis:
Method and Steps in Tx. Planning
Cephalometric norms and standards to compare and judge our patients have intrinsic limitations since they are not sensible to the needs of the individual face of our patients.
In this perspective cephalometrics should not be used as the primary tool for dentofacial diagnosis.
In this different perspective the aesthetic analysis of the face is the cardinal reference to define the ideal position of teeth, jaws and other components of the face.
A method to analyse the face in this perspective is proposed.
The Face will be judged in Natural Vertical Position.
The position of the Upper Dentition will be related to the adjacent structures to define the ideal support of the upper Lip and the border position beyond which facial decline starts to appear.
The position of the Lower dentition will be related to the Symphysis and to the position, rotation and growth of the Mandible.
The terms Naso-Labial Unit and Labio-Mental Units will be introduce.

Hugo De Clerck

Title:
Cone-beam CT evaluation of bone-anchor based protraction of the midface in class III deformity

Synopsis:
Miniplates resist better to high discontinuous forces than miniscrews do. Therefore they can be used for intermaxillary orthopedic traction. Class III elastics can be fixed between Bollard anchors on the skeletal base of the maxilla and mandible of young growing patients. In contrast to face masks forces can be applied from bone to bone 24 hours a day. Can the growth of the maxilla and/or mandible be stimulated, restricted or redirected? Which biomechanical approach should be used? The results of a continuous pure orthopedic traction will be discussed based on a Cone-beam CT at T1 and T2 co-registrated on the anterior skeletal base.

Yan Gu

Title:
Early Treatment of Class III Malocclusion

Synopsis:
Efficiency for early treatment of Class III malocclusions remains controversial. Resulting in unpredictable relapse, some clinicians are convinced early treatment often a waste of time and resources. However, others believe that early treatment in mixed dentition is beneficial to normalize the skeletal disharmony. The decision-making for proper treatment timing in individuals is complicated due to variability in growth potential and response to different treatment methodology. By illustrating successfully treated cases, the current presentation somewhat discuss several elements that may contribute to the good response of early treatment of Class III malocclusion.

Urban Hagg

Title:Growth Modification of the Mandible - Wishful Thinking or Reality?

Synopsis:
Orthodontic treatment has been provided by the specialists of orthodontics for more than 100 years. What does orthodontics-dentofacial orthodopedics do to the mandible? Does orthodontics-dentofacial orthodopedics have the ability to restrain, enhance mandibular growth or/and affect the positioning of the mandible? Those questions will be addressed in this lecture based on a critical evaluation of the current literature.

Title:
3D for you and me: 21^st Century Orthodontics

Synopsis:
In the last 25 years, changes in clinical orthodontics were often driven by improvements in bracket design, attachment mechanisms and arch wire materials. This focus on the mechanical aspects of treatment led to decreased clinical interest in the underlying biology of facial growth. Two recent advances in clinical orthodontics have fueled increased interest in craniofacial biology and facial growth.
The first was the introduction of low cost, high-resolution, computed tomographic imaging. This technology provides researchers and clinicians with the tools needed to study three dimensional changes in craniofacial anatomy associated with the growth process and clinical care. The second clinical is the use of temporary anchorage devices (TADs). TADS give the clinician the ability to move teeth in any direction. With greater control comes increased responsibility.
Clinicians using TADs need to know how teeth drift naturally within the face and how TADs influence this drift. To achieve optimal results the modern clinician is compelled to study craniofacial biology, in general, and facial growth in particular. This presentation will focus on recent CBCT studies of longitudinal growth changes in the human face and discuss the application of these finding to clinical care.

Title:
Finishing is difficult - how can I help?

Synopsis:
To an orthodontist, finishing essentially means getting the details of the alignment and occlusion as good as we can. This is not necessarily the most important outcome measure for our patients, but is a very worthwhile aim, provided it does not disproportionately extend appointments or treatment time. This talk will focus on the occlusal imperfections which frequently arise near the end of treatment and examine ways in which we can improve our results within an acceptable time frame and the limits which nature imposes.

Title:
3D imaging in orthodontics in the 21^st century

Synopsis:
The development of 3D imaging tools for diagnosis and treatment planning is one of the most exciting developments in orthodontics as well as in oral and maxillofacial surgery in the 21^st century. The applications of 3D imaging in orthodontics include pre- and post-orthodontic assessment of dentoskeletal relationships and facial aesthetics, auditing orthodontic outcomes, 3D treatment planning, 3D soft and hard tissue prediction and essential information for clinicians to better manage impacted teeth. 3D imaging methods expand and deepen our understanding of growth and development and therapy, and benefit for orthodontists and patients in future.

Title:
Studies on orthodontically induced tooth movement and root resorption in the rat upper first molar.

Synopsis:
Root resorption may be one of acute problems that need to be solved in orthodontic treatment. Many causative factors have been reported, and the orthodontic force magnitude may be one of the most dangerous risk factors. Upper rat molars have been frequently used to analyze tooth movement and root resorption induced by orthodontic force. Three-dimensional tooth movement in the rat model will be shown, and the relationship between the tooth movement, force magnitude and root resorption will be discussed. Furthermore, the effect of anti-inflammatory drugs and fluoride on root resorption will be shown, and the possibility of preventive method against root resorption will be discussed.

Chiung-Shing Huang

Title:
Three dimensional approach to orthognathic surgery

Synopsis:
Human face is the most sophisticated complex parts of the whole body. Three dimensional approaches should be emphasized to evaluate the face in vertical, transverse, and sagittal planes. The three keystones for facial beauty are 1. correlated facial and dental midlines. 2. pupil-leveled occlusal plane. 3. concerted zygomatic arch.

Orthognathic movement should accomplish the best facial esthetics by moving maxillomandibular complex in three dimensions. How to incorporate these three dimensional orthognathic movements into the reconstruction of orofacial function, facial and dental esthetics and dental occlusion will be illustrated.

Title:
Change with aging in response to mechanical force on periodontal vasculature

Synopsis:
Microvasculature in the periodontal ligament has important roles in the remodeling of periodontal tissue in orthodontic tooth movement. We have been observing morphological and functional reactions of the microvasculature to mechanical forces using an in vivo animal model. We observed that the microvasculature sensitively reacts to mechanical stimulation including alteration of hemocyte behavior in blood flow, which is closely related to bone remodeling. I will show these reactions of the microvasculature to mechanical pressure and its change with aging, and I would like to present discussion about the optimum orthodontic force depending on the age of the patient.

Long term dentoskeletal effects of semirapid maxillary expansion (SRME): 5 years follow-up.

Synopsis:
Semirapid maxillary expansion (SRME) was introduced with the hypothesis that may result in reduction of relapse in post-retention period. The long term effects of SRME on the dentoskeletal structures will be presented in this presentation. A rigid acrylic maxillary expander was used for SRME (rapid maxillary expansion of 5-7 days, followed by slow maxillary expansion) in older adolescents and adult cases. The mean expansion time was 0.34 years and the mean follow-up period after retention was 5.6 years. Zygomatic, lower nasal, maxillary base and maxillary intermolar widths were stable at the end of follow-up stage.

Biomechanical Differences in Humans with and without TMDs

Synopsis:
Results from in vivo and ex vivo studies have been integrated to investigate the role of biomechanics in individuals with and without TMDs. Clinical tools, including validated computer-assisted numerical models of the human jaw system and dynamic stereometry, were used to investigate differences in muscle forces and loading, work done, and energy densities in the TMJs during the performance of ordinary tasks in individuals with and without TMDs. The biomechanical differences identified help to elucidate the pathomechanics of tissue failure in the TMJ.

Title:
The crisis in orthodontic education: When everything works, nothing matters

Synopsis:
I think most would agree that we are faced with a world-wide crisis in orthodontic education. Although it is easy to blame debt and low pay for our lack of teachers, I would argue that we must instead look to the very soul of the specialty for the root cause. A century of experience has demonstrated that literally anything and everything will work well enough to pay the bills. After all, nobody dies from anchorage loss. Thus, when everything works, nothing really matters. Given this chaos, what is there to "teach"? It is said that every country gets the government it deserves. Apparently, we are getting the educational establishment we have earned. The problem, therefore, is easy to diagnose. Unfortunately, a solution probably cannot be bought with money. Instead, it must come from a general understanding of, and respect for, the true nature of orthodontic academics. Simple, but definitely not easy.

Dr Stephen Seward 1928-1989
Did undergraduate dental training in Melbourne: then
Went to Chicago where he studied Orthodontia (as he always referred to it) under Alan Brodie, at the university of Illinios;
His father (Tom Seward) had spent time studying orthodontics with Edward Angle, with Alan Brodie as a classmate and hence the connection for Steve to travel to Chicago to study orthodontics with Brodie.

Steve loved everything about Chicago. He was an absolute devotee of orthodontics, and remained so until he died. He was also extremely grateful for the opportunity of studying under Brodie in Charge, with a fairly illustrious staff around him. He also loved living in Chicago. He was a fan of jazz and blues music his whole life, and I suspect this started in Chicago. He was a colourful character to say the least, as was well known amongst his fellow students for his enjoyment of fast cars and parties.

He was the consummate gentleman, but did not tolerate fools. His command of both the spoken and written word was such that it was almost as if he was from another era. We combined with his pithy sense of humour; his language skills were a pleasure to behold.

In orthodontics Steve was an absolute perfectionist, all be it an old fashioned one who struggled to change for change's sake. Unless hi "current system" was no providing a solution and there was sound logic to support a new system. he would tick to his tried and true formula. This applied equally to bracket systems through to model storage.

Overall, he had a great influence on orthodontics in Australia. He was an inspiring person who was involved in the running of our (local) ASO, and who lectured frequently to its members. He inspired many of us, particularly through his incredible high standards and never-ending pursuit of excellence.

Title:
Stability of clockwise double jaw rotation surgery for Class III malocclusion

Synopsis:
Sometimes mandibular setback surgery would not give sufficient profile changes in case of incomplete decompensation of incisal inclination or flat occlusal plane inclination. Therefore, double jaw surgery with clockwise rotation of upper occlusal plane has been considered to achieve the maximum esthetic results for class III malocclusion. I would like to present the stability of maxillary upper occlusal plane inclination, vertical position of upper incisor and anteroposterior position of mandible after clockwise double jaw rotation surgery.

II-Bong Kim

Title:
Teaching Orthodontics in Asia

Synopsis:
Contemporary Orthodontics education got started from Angle school of Orthodontic (1900) founded by Dr. Edward. H Angle. Since then, the first generation of orthodontia lasted until 1930, when Dr. Angle died. His concept represented "Three dimensional tooth movements" using edgewise brackets and rectangular arch wires and "Non-Extraction philosophy", accommodation of full complement of teeth.
Since 1930, Dr. Charles Tweed and Dr. Raymond Begg made the second generation of orthodontia flourish until 1970, Dr. Tweed died. The characteristic "Anchorage concept" was established and extraction began to be considered as one of orthodontic treatment tactics.
Dr. Levern Marrifield was successor to Dr. Tweed. He developed "Directional Force Technique" and contributed on the third generation of orthodontic until he died in 2000.
Orthodontics opened new era to the fourth generation since 2000. The most remarkable concept is "absolute anchorage".
Orthodontics education should be based upon these histological background. It is divided into the basic and clinical orthodontics. I recommend Dr. Thomas M Graber's Orthodontic current principles and techniques as a reference book of the basic orthodontics.
Dentistry is behavioral science, so teaching the proper working posture harmonized with gravity is one of my major teaching contents as well. In the long run, it is not too much to say that dentist wellbeing is as important as performance with techniques.
Clinical education has 3 steps. The first step focuses on the fundamental wire bending exercises, the second step is to learn and apply Tweed philosophy and technique on the typodont, and the last step is composed of clinical practice and to learn "Divided method", which I developed to treat bimaxillary protrusion cases effectively and efficiently. Bimaxillary protrusion cases are fairly common among Orientals. My method is based upon Tweed Concept and Two Forces system of Broussard Technique. It enhances individual tooth movement using many auxiliary springs and establishes anchorage using "J" hook pull headgear and Micro-implant.
My treatment strategy is that a extraction space can be divided into two and these spaces, front and back, can be treated independently. Basic course takes 2 years, which is composed of 200 hour lectures and 200 hour bench working in the first year, and then typodont course along with clinical practices in the second year.
In conclusion, I'd like to put more emphasis on the basic technique especially to the young dentists who have tried to study orthodontics but get frustrated by numerous commercialized techniques in the present market.

Title:
Three-dimensional technique for assessment of craniofacial morphology

Synopsis:
Computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have become increasingly employed in examination for the three-dimensional (3D) morphology of craniofacial structures. The purpose of this presentation is to introduce 3D visualization technique for assessment of craniofacial morphology in patients with dentofacial anomalies. Bone, tooth, muscle, skin structures, and airway space can be visualized using CT image changing the CT density value. 3D CT images of interest structures can be separated to examine the individual characteristics and quantitative evaluation can be carried out on the individual structures. Using the 3D techniques described, it was possible to improve the visualization of the craniofacial morphology and gain improved insight into the morphological dysplasia in patients with dentofacial anomalies, adding to our understanding of the clinical problems.

Title:Stepwise orthodontic care and treatment protocol for cleft lip and palate:from birth to maturity

Synopsis:
Our orthodontic care for cleft babies, including nursing guidance and observation of cleft status, begins before cheiloplasty. Orthodontic treatment of cleft lip and palate patients is carried out in three phases. The first phase is the stimulation of forward maxillary growth using protracter around five years of age if necessary. The second phase is the correction of mesial rotation of cleft-side central incisor and/or anterior cross bite after secondary alveolar bone grafting, which is performed between six and eight years of age in most patients. The third phase is the reconstruction of the permanent dentition with multi-bracket therapy.

Title:
A super-quick freezing method caused by providing slight magnetic field energy for teeth cryopreservation

Synopsis:
Autotransplantation is an excellent option for the treatment of missing teeth. However, the ideal clinical situation for this procedure is not always present. For example, the recipient site may be smaller than the donor tooth or there may be no suitable healthy donor tooth. Therefore, cryopreserved teeth stored in a teeth bank can be used in future orthodontic treatments. In this experiment, a novel freezing program with a slightly unidirectional magnetic field was used for the cryopreservation of orthodontic-extracted teeth. When supercooling tooth tissue under this magnetic field the electron spin effect of molecules allows the structure to vitrify instead of crystallize, which reduces cell damage during freezing. Preliminary results demonstrated that over 90% of periodontal ligament cells survived after cryopreservation using this method. In addition, the loss of alkaline phosphatase activity of PDL cells was lower than 10% compared to the control group. Finally, autotransplanted teeth cryopreserved in this method showed a 95% clinical survival rate.

Fraser McDonald

Title:
The current status of orthodontic tooth movement.

Synopsis:
Orthodontic tooth movement is carried out by mechanical stimulation and has many stages of influence. The initial changes are provoked within seconds of loading a cell (immediate); the next stage involves messengers that produce longer term consequences within 1-3 hours (intermediate) and require proteins to be manufactured. The final stage requires possible nuclear consequences in terms of changes in gene expression. All these effects allow teeth to move without excessive damage. In addition the loading of bone in particular has a significant impact in ensuring viability. This presentation will review the previous data on tooth movement and identify what significant advances have occurred with regard to advances in our knowledge.

Birte Melsen

Title
How has the skeletal anchorage changed our profession?

Synopsis:
Lack of sufficient anchorage often sets the limit for what can be reached with conventional orthodontics. If undesirable side effects can be transferred to skeletal anchorage the application of the correct force system directly to the teeth that should be displaced can be performed. Treatment planning can focus on the definition of the correct force system necessary for the desired displacement and biomechanical knowledge can be used for design of optimal appliances. Treatment possibilities can not only be widened, but the treatments can also be more efficient and with less iatrogenic results if skeletal anchorage is applied where indicated. The focus will be on the biomechanical possibilities given by the skeletal anchorage.

Lessons from congenital anomalies at chairside and bench

Synopsis:
Many congenital anomalies exhibit phenotypes of impaired maxillofacial growth and function, which may often threaten quality of life (QOL) of the patients. Japanese government has recently modified the policy to secure the rights of a wider scope of anomaly patients to undergo orthodontic treatment through health insurance system. In addition, contemporary molecular biological research has delineated genetic and epigenetic alterations of specific genes as a cause of various congenital anomies. Hence, with all these circumstances, the precise diagnosis and quality orthodontic care are now accessible to the patients with more ease.
Our experience and knowledge in the clinic and research laboratory regarding congenital anomalies will be shared in this presentation.

Claude Mossaz

Title:
Age related correction of maxillary transverse deficiency

Synopsis:
Depending on the bony maturation, various degrees of mid-palatal suture opening and skeletal expansion can be observed. At an early age, new appliances anchored on the primary teeth can be used to prevent external root resorption and excessive tipping of the first permanent molars, thus providing better stability. In adult patients, the resistance generated by the zygomatico-maxillary buttress and the maxillary articulations in general, prevent sufficient skeletal separation and, without surgical assistance, only dental tipping occurs. Surgically assisted rapid maxillary expansion using new palatal expanders anchored directly to the bone seem to achieve adequate skeletal expansion for the mature patients.

Title:
Growth: Is it a Friend or Foe to Orthodontic Treatment?

Synopsis:
Is it possible to modify facial growth to our advantage during orthodontic treatment? For years, orthodontists have used functional appliances and headgear in an effort to change the jaw relationship. As practitioners, do we actually have the ability to modify growth, or we still at the mercy of Mother Nature during our patients' formative years? The speaker will summarize the current knowledge in Class II growth and development and the techniques in harnessing growth in Class II patients. Successful and unsuccessful cases treated with the Herbst appliances will be reviewed in an effort to find solutions for growth-modification challenges.

Passiri Nisalak

Title:
Patient Oriented Treatment Plan for Asymmetry

Synopsis:
In treating patients with asymmetry, the different etiologic factors, as well as the severity of the condition must be considered. By taking these factors into account, treatment plans may include no treatment, Orthodontic treatment or Orthognathic Surgery. Orthodontists tend to plan accordingly to the needs of their patients in seeking the ideal treatment; however, their patients may not recognize their needs and hence they may have different goals for their treatment in mind.

Careful orthodontic consultation is essential for patients with asymmetry. An appropriate treatment plan can best be achieved through close communication between orthodontists, oral surgeons and patients. These consultations can help patients better understand their options for treatment and attune their expected goals of treatment to reflect those of their orthodontists' and oral surgeons'. At the same time, it is important to keep in mind that ideal outcomes may neither be possible nor meet patients' demands. In this regard, advantages, disadvantages and limitations of every alternative treatment plan should be discussed with patients.

For patients with mild asymmetry, Orthognathic surgery may be performed, while patients with severe skeletal asymmetry may be treated by orthodontics only. In all cases, patient oriented treatment tends to be the most suitable plan to achieve patient satisfaction.

Kevin O'Brien

Title:
Class II functional appliance treatment, do we know all the answers?

Synopsis:
To provide information on the current knowledge on the effects of functional appliances using evidence derived from a Cochrane systematic review

To provide information on the way forwards for research into the effects of functional appliances.

It is well established that "functional" orthodontic appliances are very effective in the correction of Class II incisor relationships. Surprisingly, there is still controversy on the method of action of these appliances. This arises from reliance on "evidence" derived from poorly controlled retrospective investigations based around convenience samples of records. In this lecture, I will critically evaluate research into this type of appliance for both "early" and"late" treatment, and discuss the way forwards so that we can understand the true value of this type of treatment.

Title:
The snoring child - behaviour, learning and dentofacial development

Synopsis:
Sleep problems are common in children of all ages. In the school aged child, 30 to 50% have significant sleep disorders, and approximately one third of parents desire help with sleep difficulties in their children. Disordered sleep affects mood, behaviour and cognition and has an adverse impact on the family. The adverse impacts can manifest with inattention and hyperactivity. Adverse intellectual impacts may be irreversible. Snoring even if non-vibratory (heavy breathing) can indicate underlying obstructive sleep apnoea which as well as the above problems is a very important contributor to adverse dentofacial outcomes. Childhood sleep disorders are relatively easy to diagnose and eminently treatable, leading to measurable social, behavioural and neurocognitive benefits for children and their families. Brief case presentations and digital sleep study data including video and sound will be presented. A referral algorithm will be suggested.

Title:
Innovative orthodontic treatment of Class II malocclusion: A noncompliance, nonextraxtion and efficient approach using miniscrew implants

Synopsis:
Orthodontic treatment of noncompliant patients with Class II malocclusion can be very challenging when using conventional treatment modalities. Alternatively, noncompliance approaches can be used, presenting however anchorage problems. These problems can be partially avoided when using miniscrew implants as temporary anchorage devices. This presentation will demonstrate the effectiveness of the use of the "Miniscrew Implant Distalization System" (MISDS), which taking advantage of the stationary anchorage can be used not only to distalize maxillary molars but also to retract anterior teeth, providing this way a noncompliance, nonextraxtion and efficient approach for the complete orthodontic treatment of patients with Class II malocclusion.

Hyo-Sang Park

Title:
Microimplant aided sliding mechanics

Synopsis:
Thanks to the nature of absolute anchorage from the microimplants, the teeth can be moved not by one by one movement but by group movement. With moving teeth with group, the teeth experience less adverse movement, such as rotation and tipping, and it shorten treatment time. Furthermore the movement which was very hard or impossible with conventional mechanics is now one of routine procedure with the microimplants. Speaker will discuss the efficiency of the microimplants and the way to maximize the efficiency of the microimplants in treating various types of malocclusion.

Timo Peltomaki

Title:
Variability in growth and treatment response

Synopsis:
It is a tradition in orthodontics to divide patients grossly according to different Angle classes, as if all Class II cases, for example, would be similar. Therefore, it is not surprising that the well planned and conducted randomized controlled studies have come to a common conclusion: there is great individual variability in the craniofacial growth among untreated controls and also among treated individuals. Despite the importance of this conclusion, the issue has received only little attention. The present lecture is concerned about variability in the initial condition of the patients, differences in the growth and treatment timing and treatment response.

Pertti Pirttiniemi

Title:
Orthodontic Treatment of Dental and Craniofacial Asymmetries

Synopsis:
Depending on the origin, asymmetric development can be either worsening, remain constant, or even get better during the growth. The information that arises from latest research has given new insights in the aetiology and development of many asymmetry cases. Variously a better understanding of a possible general pathologic condition helps us in the planning and realization of the orthodontic treatment.
In the treatment the goal variously is to stop and reverse an asymmetric development and to normalize the function in the craniofacial area. Orthodontic treatment of dental and craniofacial asymmetries is demanding in character and requires individual diagnostics with multi-level planning, followed by complex treatment mechanics. In many cases it is possible to gain favourable and stable end results if the remaining growth and functional issues are sufficiently taken into account.

William Proffit

Title:
New Approaches, New Technologies in Modern Orthodontics

Synopsis:
A greater recognition of the clinical importance of facial proportions and tooth display has led to a greater emphasis on systematic clinical examination of the face as a diagnostic procedure. Although 3D photography now is available, digital video clips are more likely to become the standard photographic record for orthodontists. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) offers great advantages in evaluation of patients with asymmetry, and for all patients it offers the possibility of recognizing both pathology that would otherwise have been overlooked and appreciation of new diagnostic clusters. Genetic analysis is just becoming an important tool in evaluation of orthodontic patients. Its first application is detection of a gene that codes for primary failure of eruption, which can clarify this diagnosis at ages too early to confirm it otherwise. Genetic identification of subsets of patients with skeletal Class III problems will help to establish the prognosis for growth modification in a child with a developing Class III problem, and other applications are likely to follow quickly. Clinical application of new technology has led to a marketing emphasis on aspects of the new devices that often are somewhat irrelevant. Clinical treatment decisions always should be based on information for treatment outcomes, from clinical trials if possible, but always from a series of consecutively treated patients.

Title:
Clinical considerations in adult orthodontic treatment

Synopsis:
The number of adult patients seeking orthodontic treatment has been showing a tendency to increase in Japan as well, because of a change in age distribution of population. At the orthodontic clinic of Niigata university Medical and Dental Hospital, the ratio of adult patients over twenty years of age at the first visit to total patients has recently become more than 30%, and further, those over 30 years old has reached around 10% after 1996.

Most of adult patients tend to be much more concerned about facial proportion as well as malalignment than adolescents or younger patients. Further, a previous clinical research indicates that any patient over the age 35 has some periodontal problems that could affect orthodontic tooth movement. I'm going to address the basic concept and special considerations in adult orthodontic treatment.

Title:
Decreased treatment time with self-ligation - true or false?

Synopsis:
A prominent claim among the proponents of self-ligating brackets is a significant reduction in total treatment time. We report two different studies comparing the two systems and summarize other relevant investigations. In our studies, we examined cases from a private practice treated either with a passive self-ligating bracket system or a straight wire appliance. Cases were matched for type of malocclusion, crowding, overjet, overbite, age, ethnicity, and sex. The results from both studies showed no significant difference in total treatment time between the two groups. Treatment interval was very highly significantly different with 6-8 fewer appointments with the self-ligation brackets.

Title:
Future direction for understanding the aetiology of craniofacial anomalies

Synopsis:
The challenge over the next decade in understanding craniofacial anomalies will revolve around a better understanding of genetics and the relationship with phenotypes. The rapid advances in molecular genetics need to be complemented with equally seismic advances in recording and understanding the varieties of craniofacial anomalies. This will require advances in imaging, measurement and interpretation. This keynote speech will integrate recent advances in our understanding of aetiology in relation to the interrogation of gene banks associated with cleft lip and palate and the issues of facial imaging in relation to diagnosis and potential advances in screening for parental contribution in these anomalies.

Title:
Diagnosis and Treatment Planning Incorporating Contemporary Esthetic Goals

Synopsis:
The "nuts and bolts" of orthodontic treatment planning includes standard goals of Angle Classification and profile. In contemporary orthodontics, the incorporation of esthetic planning has become a very important dimension of our diagnosis-important to us and our patients. In this presentation, Dr. Sarver will present three dimensional analyses of our patients with biometric tools through direct clinical systems , uncomplicated biomechanical approaches to treatment, and the importance of technologically facilitated communication for goal setting, quantification of treatment plans, and better patient understanding of what today's orthodontist can do for them.

Title:
Smile Concepts and Treatment in the Adolescent Patient

Synopsis:
Cosmetic dentists have always recognized the importance of balance in tooth shape and proportionality, and have classifications and formulas worked out to produce dazzling smiles in bonding and porcelain laminates. For orthodontists treating children, when we are finishing a case, sometimes the smile just doesn't "look right". So, what principles can we learn from the cosmetic dentists and use in our orthodontic cases? Apparently quite a lot! In this presentation, Dr. Sarver will illustrate finishing procedures such as creative bracket placement, reshaping contacts, connectors, embrasures, and soft tissue contouring to achieve that next level of smile presentation in your everyday orthodontic cases.

Gunvor Semb

Title:
Do children with clefts deserve better?

Synopsis:
Cleft teams who wish to select the best treatments for patients in their care face a difficult task. The present lack of well designed studies means that large numbers of old techniques are enthusiastically practiced on the basis of unfounded hopes and prejudices, while new innovations come and go with the seasons. In many instances children and families appear to be burdened by unnecessarily complex surgical and orthodontic protocols that achieve no more than simple ones.

This presentation will review the evidence for: centralised -vs- local services, complex -vs- simple surgery, multiple episode -vs- targeted orthodontics, prosthetic-vs-orthodontic space closure, and the scope of single centre-vs-multicentre research.

David Suarez-Quintanilla

Title:
Simultaneous Combination Of Light And Intermittent Forces In The Class II Treatment With The SWLF Technique

Synopsis:
There is no scientific evidence regarding which is the ideal force in Orthodontics, but it seems that the light and intermittent forces are the best because they avoid the collapse of the periodontal vessels. In the orthopaedic treatment of the Class II division 1 malocclusions we try to combine these forces at the same time using thermal wires, miodynamic functional appliances and miniscrews. The purpose of this lecture is to explain our biomechanics and to show you different severe Class II division 1 cases. We have made changes in the design of the functional appliances to adapt them to simultaneous use with fixed appliances. Another characteristic of the SWLF technique is the FSC ( Friction Selection Control) , the control of the orthodontic tooth movement tooth-by-tooth by means to select the proper bracket and type of ligature according to the biomechanic needs. This type of biomechanic philosophy reduces the length of the orthodontic-orthopaedic treatment and increases the patient´s compliance.

Junji Sugawara

Title:
Ultimate Non-Surgical Open Bite Correction

Synopsis:
Skeletal open bite is characterized by excessive lower facial height and extremely large interlabial gap. However, It has been extremely difficult to intrude molars and consequently difficult to reduce the excessive lower facial height. Therefore, surgical maxillary impaction has been the most effective treatment modality to correct open bite. Following development of temporary anchorage devices (TADs), orthodontists have been able to intrude molars and offering a non-surgical treatment option for open bite. However, such non-surgical approach is not necessarily easy, because most of open bite cases usually have not only vertical problems, but also some antero-posterior and transverse orthodontic problems. In this presentation, the strategy to solve those complex orthodontic problems in open bite will be discussed.

Title:
18 Years of Experience with the Skeletal Anchorage System (SAS)

Synopsis:
Anchorage has long been one of the greatest problems in the field of orthodontics. In 1992, we first developed the SAS utilizing titanium miniplates and miniscrews as stable and reliable anchorage units to solve some of the more difficult orthodontic problems. Since then, SAS biomechanics have been applied to various types of malocclusions in adults in daily orthodontic practice. About 85% of patients who underwent SAS mechanics needed intrusion and distalization of the molars. This specific noncompliance technique is particularly useful for correcting open bite, Class II and Class III malocclusions with or without asymmetric dentition, and other malocclusions characterized by anterior crowding. The SAS biomechanics should be evaluated as an indispensable modality in contemporary adult orthodontics. In this presentation, the SAS biomechanics to solve difficult orthodontic problems will be discussed on the basis of our 18 years of experience.

Title:
Advantage of implant-anchored orthodontics: Comparison of treatment outcome in adult skeletal open bite cases

Synopsis:
Skeletal open bite is known to be one of the most difficult malocclusions to treat in orthodontics. Recently, molar intrusion with skeletal anchorage has become a new strategy for treating anterior open bite patients. I will present comparison of orthodontic treatment outcomes in severe adult skeletal open bite cases between conventional edgewise treatment and implant-anchored orthodontics, and also between treatment with implant-anchored orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. Molar intrusion with implant anchorage is simpler and more advantage for achieving ideal occlusion, function and esthetic improvement in severe open bite patients. Successful vertical correction with skeletal anchorage will be discussed.

Title:
Current status of TMD and the treatment strategy integrated with orthodontic approach

Synopsis:
TMD is well accepted as a multi-factorial disease. In order to clarify the nature of TMD, I would like to first review previous studies in terms of the association of various factors with the onset of TMD. Based upon these findings, it is shown that mechanical loading, if excessive, is an important and significant cause of TMD. Furthermore, the problem-oriented therapeutic system has been established. In this system, the examination and differential diagnosis are essential for appropriate treatment. Finally, I would like to discuss the availability of a certain treatment modality integrated with orthodontic approach for the correction of TMDs with different intra-articular pathologies.

Albino Triaca

Title:
A new access to the face

Synopsis:
One of the requirements for an aesthetic facial appearance is dentoalveolar decompensation. To date this has been the remit of the orthodontist. In a lot of cases however orthodontic movement alone has its limitations. The introduction of mandibular and maxillary anterior dentoalveolar osteodistraction together with the recently developed mandibular border osteotomy, also known as the wing osteotomy, has enabled us together with orthodox orthodontics to achieve perfect dentoalveolar proportions.

This has lead to a new understanding of the complex surface anatomy of the face and consequently to a new facial surgical planning philosophy. The intention of this presentation is to illustrate these new treatment modalities and emphasize the indications.

Kemal Turker

Title:
Reflex control of human mastication

Synopsis:
Our experiments on the reflex control of human mastication indicate the following: Periodontal mechanoreceptors actively contribute to chewing and also protect the teeth. Muscle spindles help develop bite force and also allow jaws to move smoothly. Mechanoreceptors reduce their sensitivity during chewing to weak mechanical stimuli to allow mastication to continue smoothly. They can however generate strong inhibitory effects if the stimulus is strong to protect the teeth and supporting tissues.

Title:
Morphometric Characteristics of the Dental Interproximal contacts in the permanent dentition.

Synopsis:
The interproximal contact (IC) is a keystone in the Begg theory and in Andrew's six keys to normal occlusion. However, the anatomical characteristics of the IC have never been described. A novel method was developed to measure IC in-vivo. IC was examined in 30 adult subjects. All ICs of the permanent dentition were spatially screened according to shape, size, location and orientation. IC size, shape and orientation differed significantly (p<0.001) between groups of teeth. The IC was more buccally located in 87.5% of the teeth and correlations were found between several IC variables. This study demonstrated that several dental malalignments are related to IC characteristics.

Carlaberta Verna

Title:
The role of individual variability in orthodontic tooth movement.

Synopsis:
Orthodontic tooth movement is the result of a change in mechanical loading of a biological system. The change in mechanical loading is orthodontist-related, but the clinical observation of a variability of tooth movement rate among subjects submitted to the same biomechanical system suggests that part of the clinical outcome is patient-related. Bone metabolism affects both tooth movement's quantity and quality. As a consequence, our attention during treatment planning should not only be paid to the individual biomechanical system required to obtain a specific movement, but also to the biological "ground" of the patient.

TP Orthodontics Satellite Symposium
Date: Sunday, February 7, 2009
Time:12:45 pm
Speaker:

Patient Based Orthodontics: a different approach to orthodontic treatment of skeletal malocclusions.
What is the excellence and where are our new limits?

Too many times, surgical treatment has been considered the only excellent approach to the treatment of skeletal malocclusions. But, is this true? What do our patients think about it? Is there an objective limit for a surgical or non-surgical treatment? New techniques have increased the possibilities of non-surgical treatment in these cases like we never thought. However, different biomechanics are applied. Correct management of some of these specific biomechanical principles, in addition to finishing tricks and multidisciplinary details are the keys for achieving brilliant results.

Title:
Comparison of the Forces Generated by Steel, Nickel Titanium and Elastomeric Separa

Synopsis:
This study compared the forces of tooth separation generated by steel springs, NiTi springs, and elastomeric separators in vitro. Elastomeric separators gave the highest force levels and NiTi springs showed the lowest. When the teeth where separated incrementally 0.1mm at a time, NiTi springs showed a gradual drop of force, elastomeric separators showed a steep drop from their high initial forces to a relatively high remaining force at 0.8mm separation, while steel springs gave the steepest drop that fell below 50 grams at 0.3-0.5mm separation. In conclusion, NiTi springs gave moderate initial separation forces that remained effective even at 0.8mm separation.

Title:
CLP Newborns and Orthodontics

Synopsis:
CL/CP is the most common and immediately recognizable craniofacial anomalies. The infant may have a cleft that is a unilateral, bilateral and it may involve the lip only, the palate only, or both. Cleft lip and/or palate are often isolated nonsyndromic; however, 10% of all infants with CL/CP will also have an associated syndrome.

Concept of presurgical orthopedic cleft molding was developed to improve the esthetic result of lip repair, helps provide a more coalescent cleft and an ideally shaped alveolar arch form and this, in turn, diminishes tension during the primary surgery, making scar formation more difficult and may produce more favorable bone formation.

One of the most recent pre-surgical Orthodontic management of CL/CP is Nasoalveolar molding which is nonsurgical, passive method to actively mold and reposition the deformed nasal cartilages and alveolar processes and to lengthen the deficient columella prior to the primary lip and nasal surgery.

Title:
The effect of the twin-Blok System on the TMJ using Axiograph

Synopsis:
In the maxillofacial area the most common malocclusion is skeletal CLII. In cases of retrusive mandible the first choice of treatment is the functional orthopedic appliances.Functional orthopedic treatment is a major dispute topic in the world of orthodontics. Many researchers, e.g. ROTH et al., refuse this type of treatment, claiming that it would damage the TMJ and will cause temporomandibular disorders. One of the most important signs of TMD is the deviation in the mandibular movements. To evaluate these symptoms the most accurate procedure is to use the Axiograph. In our research we evaluated the effects of the twin-blok system (twin-blok functional appliance and concord face bow) on the TMJ using SAM-Axiograph. Two groups were created: one treatment group (17 individual) and one control group (15 individual), the individuals were all skeletal and dental classII, the average age of the individuals was 12 years old. As for the treatment group, Twin- blok system was used for six months, classII was treated and turned into classI. Before the beginning of the treatment and in the end of the six months, cephalometric x-rays, Axiograph records were taken and evaluated. For the control group the same records were taken.

Title:
Combined removable or/and fixed appliances for treatment young adults Class III skeletal crossbite.

Synopsis:
Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of craniofacial structures in young adults Class III skeletal crossbite by combined of the removable and/or fixed appliances. Materials and Methods: 24 cases young adults ( 18-24 years old) with skeletal crossbite were chosen as this clinical study. All of cases have been treated by suitable appliances and new mechanic orthopedic system. Namely upper jaw used the removable appliance for protraction in the night, then the lower jaw applied the fixed one for Class III elastics in day time. Otherwise, the upper jaw used fixed appliance, such as screw rapid expansion at the same time of protraction, the lower jaw approached the removable appliance with hooks and occlusal pad for Class III elastics. The force of face-mask protraction is over 800 gm and Class III elastic is of 300 gm for each side. Results: All of the patients have been treated smoothly and affected since face-mask protraction and Class III elastics alternately in day and night. The craniofacial structures were influenced nearly the whole day of 24 hours. Pretreatment and posttreatment of lateral cephalograms were traced and analyzed. Statistically significant anterior movement of maxilla occurred in SNA(+2.77) and ANB?+3.48?.The mandible was rotated clockwise with mild decrease in SNB(-0.71). Soft tissues were changed remarkably in upper lip moving forward(+2.1mm) and lower lip moving backward(-1.5mm). Conclusions: The results of this clinical study indicate that the young adults Class III skeletal crossbite were affected by application the removable and/or fixed appliances and an new machenic orthopedic system.

Title:
Do every race needs customize brackets?

Synopsis:
The increasing popularity of using fixed appliances and the lack of the appliances specifically for the different race has given rise to the necessity for such appliances. Every race has its owns characteristic that is not found in the other races. Dr Andrew said that each tooth in order to get maximal results should has their bracket made customised to the measurement. From the study on Deuteromalay cases showed that Fixed appliances using Deuteromalay standards were more efficient and effective than Caucasian fixed appliances during 12 months treatment.Fixed appliances based on Deuteromalay normal standards was proven to be more quickly completed than treatment using fixed appliances based on normal Caucasian standards. Deuteromalay fixed appliances showed costs per unit twice as effective/cheaper than Caucasian fixed appliances. This proves that the Deuteromalay fixed appliances are more suitable for the race. In conclusion every race should have customise their bracket prescriptions accordingly.

Title:
Visualising Tooth Size Discrepancy - How far have we progressed?

Synopsis:
Tooth size discrepancy has been ascribed for less than adequate intercupsation of teeth following orthodontic treatment. However, a number of important variables such as skeletal base discrepancy, incisor angulations and molar rotations have the potential to influence the intercuspation of teeth. To address the issues related to tooth size discrepancy and associated variables, a three dimensional approach to diagnosis, treatment planning and visualization of the end result is within reach. How far has the technology progressed and what is in stall for us in the future?

Sang-Cheol Kim

Topic:
Rapid tooth movement: Corticotomy and distraction osteogenesis

Synopsis:
Many orthodontists are disappointed by the difficulty of tooth movement, the long treatment period, and the complication from the conventional orthodontic treatment. To solve these problems, corticotomy and distraction osteogenesis have been proposed to be applied to tooth movement. Corticotomy necessitates cutting through alveolar cortical bone which disturbs tooth to move, leading to the rapid movement. On the other side of distraction, new bone could be apposed by way of distraction osteogenesis.

Title:
Extraction VS. Non Extraction in Asian Cases

Synopsis:
Extraction or non-extraction is rather an option of treatment than a debating topic. With the development of new concepts and techniques, like self-ligating system, more mechanics are available as an option for non-extraction patients. The characteristics of craniofacial complex in Asian population are different from that of Caucasian. Profile is an important consideration while making a treatment plan. However, dental arch width is of equal importance to be considered as Asian population usually have wider dental arch than Caucasians. Besides, severity of crowding and expectation of patients are also factors to be considered. Cautions also have to be made while applying these techniques.

Title:
Implant Orthodontics: Is it panacea or your insomnia?

Synopsis:
Closing anterior open bite, intrusion of molars and treating mutilated malocclusion are achievable effortlessly using implant orthodontics. Some may call implant orthodontics "panacea" to all malocclusions.
On the other hand, implantation surgery can cause headache to some orthodontists. Implant dislodgement, implantation pain or over retraction may also cause insomnia to orthodontists. Other unexpected mishaps can also happen during implant usage. Biomechanics of tooth movement with implant is also unclear. This presentation will elucidate implant myth and pave the way for implant orthodontics to be "real panacea" to both malocclusion and orthodontist's insomnia.
The final part will discuss about all new technologies combined with implant orthodontics to treat difficult cases. These new technologies include clear aligner, low friction brackets and biomechanics of tooth movement with implant. It will innovate implant from genuine panacea to "state-of-the-art orthodontics."

Young-Guk Park

Title:
"Corticision" to accelerate tooth movement

Synopsis:
The usual rate of tooth movement by conventional protocols of mechanotherapy signifies approximately 1 mm/month. The 'corticision' accelerates tooth movement with enhanced turnover rate of surrounding structures. This milieu is clinically expedient with sound biologic foundation, and renders the orthodontic outcome more stable and less prone to complications.
This presentation will present evidence that minor surgical procedure by orthodontists ourselves can receive accelerated rates of tooth movement with impunity. It will introduce the novel way to orthodontics as a system that enhances the rate of bony and periodontal response, thereby shortening the duration of treatment.

Title:
Dynamax versus Twin Block" - A Randomised Two Centred Clinical Trial.

Synopsis:
The Twin block appliance has been the most popular functional appliance in the UK for the last fifteen years, and has been well researched. The Dynamax appliance is relatively newer having been used for the last five years. The aim of this investigation was to determine if there was any significant difference between the two appliances. The study was reviewed at the request of the investigators and brought to a halt prematurely by an independent research board as the Twin Block performed significantly better in achieving overjet reduction with significantly fewer breakages of the appliance.

Yocheved Ben-Bassat

Title:
Adjunctive functional treatment for craniofacial asymmetry.

Synopsis:
Functional, environmental, genetic and congenital factors are considered as main etiological causes of craniofacial asymmetry. Studies showed that asymmetric function or body posture may induce asymmetric malocclusion and mandibur growth. Progressive exacerbation of the asymmetry with secondary maxillary involvement and canting of the occlusal plane frequently occur.
Early treatment with functional appliances intends to induce symmetric function, accelerate growth of the affected side, prevent the characteristic dento-alveolar compensations and obviate early major surgical interventions.
The efficacy and predictability of the functional therapy as an adjunct for treatment of craniofacial asymmetry, will be discussed.

Bio:

Title:
One century of functional orthodontics: a saga of orthopaedics and oral function implement

Synopsis:
Since Pierre Robin(1904) until now, Dentofacial Orthopaedics (DFO) implements in its philosophy, harmony or disharmony between form and function in order to manage dental eruption and occlusal balance. In the past century, numerous authors have advocated various orthopedic removable and fixed appliances. However, and even if each of these creative ideas showed some beautiful results, reliable data as to their effectiveness are still matter of discussion. Historical as well as contemporary treatments will inspire and possibly stimulate researchers in this continuous striving for evidence.

Title:
Pharyngeal airway dimensions: correlation with skeletal pattern and changes during therapy

Synopsis:
The size of the pharyngeal airway can play an important role in predetermining obstructive sleep apnea, a disorder characterized by recurrent pharyngeal airway obstruction during sleep. Thus it is of particular interest for the orthodontist to know which individuals are more likely to have narrow airways and if airway dimensions can be altered by treatment. To study the latter, changes in the pharyngeal airway in growing children and adolescent were evaluated over a period of 12 years and compared with a group of children who received activator-headgear Class II treatment. In another study, the airways on two-dimensional lateral cephalograms were compared with three-dimensional computed airways.

Title:
Skeletal open bites orthodontically treated.

Synopsis:
Anterior skeletal open bites are generally treated with ortognatic surgery where the patient has been orthodotically treated . There are patients that for many reasons don't want the surgery, patients with anterior skeletal open bites of 4-6 mm can be orthodontically treated with good and stables outcomes, although aesthetics may not be achieved completely in all cases.
In the orthodontic therapy we must first analyze the placement of orthodontic appliances (braces) combined with a maxillary expansion and the use of anterior intermaxillary elastics in almost every case, a posterior intrusion in some cases in order to achieve good occlusion with cuspid and insicor guides.

Title:
Open Bite: Current diagnostic and treatment modalities to improve your clinical outcome.

Synopsis:
Open bite is an occlusal trait of multifactorial origin that imposes several difficulties to the clinician. Often a precise diagnosis becomes a challenging task. Several treatment modalities are available in contemporary orthodontics, depending on the time it is diagnosed and patient's requirements, ranging from interceptive to surgical options.
In addition, stability after treatment is still a critical issue as evidence on long term stability of various treatment options is lacking.
This presentation aims at helping the clinician in the decision making processes regarding diagnosis, treatment planning and prognosis, based on scientific evidence, to get a more predictable treatment outcome.

Laura Irurzun

Title:
Miniscrews contribution to the correction of open bites

Synopsis:
The likelihood of correcting skeletal open bites increases when the use of temporary anchorage devices is considered for the intrusion of posterior upper or lower dental sectors. Aesthetic facial factors, appearance of the smile, and functional factors will define which maxillary should be intervened. An effective bite closure, a reduction in the lower facial height, and a gain in the control over the inclination of the occlusion plane are the results of the use of mini-screws for vertical anchorage.

Title:
How Predictable are Open Bite Treatments?

Synopsis:
The rule seems to be that treatment outcomes are quite variable when it comes to treating open bites. A plethora of recommended treatment times and treatment modalities exist. The outcomes are generally less than expected. Facial growth (mandibular rotation) is so far unpredictable, and probably inalterable by mechanical means.

Title:
Long term evaluation of open bite orthodontic treatment in adult patients

Synopsis:
Treatment of open bite malocclusion at the end of growth and in adult patients is challenging and includes several treatment alternatives to solve the problem. The publications are scarce on the long-term stability, but suggest that relapse is common. This presentation aims to illustrate with case reports and retrospective studies the stability or relapse in long-term treatment of open bite. Certain characteristics will be analyzed to predict the stability or relapse, such as the severity of the problem, the therapeutic approach used, and the quality of results at the end of treatment.

Protocol for the treatment of anterior dental open bite patients

Synopsis:
Dental open bites offer enormous challenges to orthodontists. This is a presentation of a protocol to treat anterior dental open bite patients with the extraction of second premolars, using a 7-step clinical procedure, and including an evaluation of a sample of 26 patients. The protocol allows predictable treatment of anterior open bite malocclusions with mesial movement of the molars, distal movement of the incisors and some extrusion of both. This therapy has minimal skeletal effects and favourably influences the soft tissue profile. Several clinical cases will illustrate the presentation.

Title:
New solutions to old problems: Skeletal gummy smile correction with miniscrews & periodontal plastic surgery

Synopsis:
In adult patients, when the gummy smile condition is skeletal in origin such as the anterior vertical maxillary excess, usually a combined surgical/orthodontic treatment may offer the best solution. Unfortunately, the inherent risks, costs, discomfort and psychological impact accompanying the surgery may be deemed to be too substantial for some patients.

The aim of this presentation is to demonstrate three adult patients with skeletal-origin "gummy smile" concerns, all of them should be treated by traditional surgical-orthodontic approach to reduce the gingival exposure originally. After consultation with patients about the risks and benefits about the surgery, eventually they chose the more conservative method treated with a combination of orthodontic miniscrew anchorage and periodontal plastic surgery procedures. Post-treatment records illustrated successful and dramatic improvement in their smiles compared with the pre-treatment records.

Title:
Biologic and Biomechanical Rationale for Closing Openbites with TADs

Synopsis:
The skeletal openbite is a difficult case to treat. Whether by orthodontics alone or in combination with surgery, relapse is associated with both. Considering the costs and risks of surgery, and dwindling insurance benefits, other options are needed. The introduction of TADs has provided another alternative, whereby posterior teeth are intruded allowing openbite closure. But what is the relapse associated with treating skeletal malocclusions by dental intrusion? To date, several techniques have been advocated for closing openbites with TADs. Are they all the same? Are there special considerations? This will be addressed by reviewing the orthodontic and surgical literature, with several clinical examples.

Title:
Factors Important to the Success of TADs: A Summary

Synopsis:
During a full day of presentations on TADs, world experts will present their systems, their concepts, their cases, and their data, almost certainly with impressive results. But at the end of the day, there are bound to be more questions than answers. This presentation will summarize the day's presentations and recent literature with regard to the presentations. In particular, factors that appear to be important to TAD success, that is, factors that allow a TAD to be placed and used for the entire duration of which it was intended without coming loose, or failing, will be outlined and summarized.

Title:
The Hybrid Orthodontic Treatment System (HOTS)

Synopsis:
The Hybrid Orthodontic Treatment System (HOTS) is an innovative treatment system used in the first premolar extraction cases. It is comprised of the following three components: 1) Micro Implant Screws (MIS); 2) Dual Dimension Wires (DDW); and, 3) Multi-loop Edgewise Arch Wires (MEAW). HOTS consists of four clearly defined treatment steps: 1) set-up; 2) leveling; 3) separate but simultaneous anterior and canine teeth retraction; and, 4) final adjustment. HOTS achieves a predictable treatment outcome with a shorter treatment time. It is also totally independent from the patient's compliance.

Title:
Mission: impossible in orthodontics.

Synopsis:
Today, with the help of microimplants, many cases previously thought impossible to treat with conventional treatment can now be treated. This presentation will guide the clinician in the selection of proper microimplant sizes and shapes, the sites of microimplant placement, surgical procedures, ways to avoid complications and improve success rates. Case reports will illustrate the many uses of these devices in routine orthodontic treatment.

Title: Use of microimplant for multidisciplinary treatment.

Synopsis:
Nowadays microimplants are commonly used to obtain anchorage without patient's cooperation. This kind of anchorage is very useful for minor tooth movement of interdisciplinary treatment as well as full arch orthodontic treatment. Many cases will show how general dentists as well as orthodontists can do minor tooth movement with microimplants. This course also will introduce the guideline for choosing, insertion methods and clinical considerations of microimplants.

Johnny Joung-Lin Liao

Title:
Paradigm Shift in Orthodontic Treatment with Mini-implant Anchorage

Synopsis:
Since the mini-implant anchorage was widely utilized in clinical orthodontic treatment, the treatment planning for many orthodontic cases has changes profoundly in these years. For instance, original extraction cases can be treated without extraction if posterior teeth can be moved distally with the mini-implant anchorage to gain space; the protrusive profile after anterior crossbite correction can be avoided by distalizing the whole upper and lower dentitions. Another example is that LeFort I maxillary impaction used to be the only treatment option for the adult cases with severe gummy smile in the past, with the help of mini-implant anchorage, a large amount of incisor intrusion can be expected and esthetics can be improved to a great extent while combining with gingivoplasty. These newly observed treatment outcomes have provided grounds for orthodontists nowadays to consider incorporating mini-implant as part of treatment plan, since the application of mini-implant shifts the paradigm in orthodontic treatment.

Title:
Whole Arch Distalization

Synopsis:
Whole arch distalization has been tried by using headgears, pendulum appliances, and removable appliances in the literature, above methods either count on patient's cooperation or too complicate and the amount of distalization usually is limited. On the lower arch due to dense cortical bone around the lower molar region, distalization of the whole arch almost impossible. The author found out that using the mini-screw only, most of the whole arch distalization movement could be done. The author is going to present different clinical cases including Class II and Class III treated with whole arch distalization by using mini-screws only. 2D cephalometrics, panorex, and 3D cone beam CT will used to illustrate the details.

Title:
Molar control in Implant assisted Orthodontics: How is it different from conventional Orthodontics?

Synopsis:
In conventional mechanics, used over decades the force needed for any orthodontic movements was solely sourced from the molars in more than 80% of situations. Hence the buccal segments - particularly the molars- became the principle source of anchorage, which resulted in reactionary and unwanted effects like elevation or depression, mesial drifting or tipping -all indicative of anchor loss. Entire treatment planning revolved round countering such side effects. The timely arrival of Micro screws has changed the scenario totally.
Now the micro screws have taken over role of 'molars' as site of delivery of forces and they dissipate the reactions to the alveolar bone with no side effects whatsoever. This way the molars are no more the poll bearers. Hence the anchor bearing design of conventional mechanics are not relevant, in the current implant-assisted treatment objectives. The molars are more like anteriors, victim of delivered force and arch wire configurations.
The presentation will analyze and discuss the various aspects molar control, vis-à-vis implants in the newer regimen. The do's and don'ts will be enumerated detailed, in the matter of contemporary adolescent and adult orthodontic therapy. Clinical cases will support the tenets.

Vertical control in orthodontics----new approach through microscrew implant

Synopsis:
Vertical control is the most important procedure during orthodontic treatment, especially in patient with high mandibular plane angle. We applied microscrew as anchorage for intrusion of molars in high mandibular angle cases. Our clinical study showed that the molars were intruded, and mandibular plane angle was reduced. The mandible rotated upward and forward, and patient's profile improved dramatically. The indication and effectiveness of microscrew for intrusion of molars were discussed.

Title:
Clear Sequential Aligners - Plastic or Elastic?

Synopsis:
Removable sequential aligner therapy relies on the elastic properties of the thermoplastic material used in the fabrication of the aligners. In certain situations the elastic limit of the material may be exceeded, causing the aligner to behave plastically and rendering it less effective. A design modification is proposed that allows the aligner to be seated on the malaligned teeth without permanent deformation.

Title:
20 years of self ligating brackets

Synopsis:
I have used the speed appliance since I started practice in 1989. I used speed in approximately 50% of cases until about 1996, and exclusively since then.
I have tried most other self-ligation systems as they have emerged since, in sufficient numbers to gain an appreciation for their use.
I have never been seriously tempted to change, partly because of the inevitable inertia, but mostly because I believe the speed appliance remains the best and most versatile of those currently available.
I will attempt to elaborate on those claims, and following well established custom, offer virtually no evidence in support.

Title:
Retention: The most Important Phase of Treatment during Post-pubertal Mandibular Growth

Synopsis:
40 years in Orthodontics leading to different retention protocols: The author will discuss retention modalities based on long-term results in skeletal deep bite and open bite situations. The vertical dimension dictates retention planning at the beginning of orthodontic treatment.
Today's trend to non-extraction treatment in borderline situations calls for closer observation of wisdom teeth development. Anterior versus posterior crowding is another way to look at space management in Orthodontics. When does the responsibility of the clinician end? One or two years after active treatment? Or only when the wisdom teeth question has been resolved? How should retention checks be organized in order not to become a burden for your practice?

Orthodontic Appliances: Outliers, The Secret Of Success

Synopsis:
The profusion of orthodontic appliances in the orthodontic firmament reflects the mechanistic preoccupation of a profession for over a century. The genesis of a particular appliance may be steeped in science and some research, but its' success and widespread acceptance needs a closer scrutiny. Is it an outlier, something markedly different from the main body? Or is it just another variant with no assurance of success or advantages? There is a need to look beyond and weigh the evidence before taking decisions. This presentation will try and provide an evidence based review of the appliances presented in the workshop.

The Demand for Aesthetic and Convenient Appliances - The Implant Carried Pendulum Appliance as Part of Invisible Orthodontic Treatments

Synopsis:
Lingual Orthodontics, Clearaligner and Invisalign are getting more and more accepted methods of treatment in daily orthodontic practice. Two aspects are in focus:
Most of the numerous types of distalisation mechanics available are linked to substantial side effects like e.g. anchorage loss. One solution to avoid this problem is the anchorage enforced pendulum appliance by using 2 micro-screws or by mounting the pendulum spring directly to the implant.
A clinical re-evaluation of the question: When is the appropriate moment to put load onto the implant?

Title:
Expanding horizons on aesthetic orthodontic appliances.

Synopsis:
There are a number of keys that allow us to achieve the right principles of occlusion with traditional orthodontic treatment. Our patients are asking for improve aesthetics, not only at the end, but also during treatment.
However, most of us are use to thinking that current aesthetic appliances have several limitations: ceramic braces, lingual orthodontics, aligners… give us better aesthetics, but many times we have problems to manage and finish in the best way. That's especially true in complex cases. New concepts, new materials, complementary techniques, even combination of different appliances can solve problems. We can keep using aesthetic appliances more and more without sacrificing results.

Title:
Interdisciplinary Aesthetic Treatment of Severe Overbite, Skeletal Mandibular Overclosure and Muscle Hyperactivity with Interactive Self-ligation and New Bondable G-Bite Plane Applications.

Synopsis:
This clinical, and scientific presentation will demonstrate using several patient treatments the importance of etiology, comprehensive diagnosis, aesthetic facial with dental treatment planning and especially the retention of deep overbites. It will also show how low friction ceramic (CIM) interactive self-ligation appliances can be used advantageously to open severe, skeletal overclosures with counterclockwise mandibular rotation. This is especially because CERAMIC SELF-LIGATION APPLIANCES HAVE BEEN SHOWN SCIENTIFICALLY TO HAVE LOWER FRICTION THAN ALL METAL BRACKETS. The use of new bondable gnathological (G) bite planes for Acute Bite Opening (ABO) will also be demonstrated in patients that have comprehensive orthodontic-prosthodontic considerations.

Smile Concepts and Treatment in the Adult Patient

Synopsis:
In the adult patient as compared to adolescent treatment, there are limitations to orthodontic treatment such as differences in skeletal and dentoalveolar growth. These limitations are often complicated by dental wear and otherwise compromised teeth or supporting structures. The goals of esthetic treatment require a difference in treatment approach, most often integrating interdisciplinary approaches to attain the exceptional outcome. In this presentation, Dr. Roblee will present innovative approaches to esthetic orthodontic diagnosis, planning and treatment for the adult patient.

Title:
Clinical biological consideration in rapid orthodontic tooth movement

Synopsis:
Accelerated orthodontic tooth movement remains one of the most difficult and unsolved tasks in orthodontics, specially in adult patients. Although the self-ligating bracket system accelerates orthodontic tooth movement in some case reports, its overall and average performance is not promising. This could be due to the individual differences in alveolar bone metabolism or biology. The aims of this presentation are to screen the possible factors or biological predictors that affect or determine the individual differences in velocity of orthodontic tooth movement, and to explore the clinical feasibilities for accelerating orthodontic tooth movement based on the individual differences in bone biology.

Michel Limme

Title:
Experience with the functional Planas' splints in early interceptive treatment

Synopsis:
The conceptions of P. PLANAS, especially his "neuro-occlusal rehabilitation", illustrate the influence of the masticatory work on the dento-alveolar, as well on the maxillaries growth, by adapting the morphological structures to the functional context. The current and frequent lack of physiological efficient unilateral alternate mastication results in "atrophies" of maxillary development showing restricted dimensions.
PLANAS introduced selective occlusal grinding of the deciduous teeth to encourage and balance the lateral excursions of the mandible, and also removable appliances, like "splints" or "running track plates", which increase the activity of the masticatory muscles and then induce functional stimulations for the growth of the maxillaries. These interceptive treatments are usefull already in young children at the age of 5 or 6.

How much periodontal attachment do you need to perform an orthodontic treatment?

Synopsis:
Orthodontic treatment in adults patients with reduced but healthy periodontium is a real challenge and should be performed by a multi and intere-disciplinary team.
There are no cephalometric norms that work for all patients and there are no arbitrary guidelines or special type of brackets that fit all patients . The best biomechanics must be determined in each patient according to the amount of periodontal attachment that is present.
A careful treatment protocol and regular periodontal monitoring are mandatory in order to obtain good results in combination with a long and permanent retention period.
Long term results with a significant osseous repair will be shown during the presentation

Title: Effectiveness of the eruption guidance in early orthodontic treatment

Synopsis:
The presentation discusses effectiveness of early orthodontic treatment, carried out with an activator -type appliance (eruption guidance appliance) in the early mixed dentition. Findings are based on a prospective cohort study where treatment and control groups included children with all types of malocclusion except posterior crossbite and Class III. After active treatment, 90% of children in treatment group had a full Class I relationship, small overbite and overjet and straight and well-aligned dental arches. During the same time, malocclusions in the control group stayed unchanged or got worse. The skeletal effcets of the treatment included mainly dentoalveolar changes but also a significant increase in the length of the mandible. Examination at the age of 16 to 17 years of age, after a minimum of two years out of retention, revealed that the treatment results were stable.

Title:
How would you improve the smile of your patient if her title is "Miss World".

Synopsis:
Two decades ago, orthodontics was mainly concerned about occlusion and the alignment of teeth in children and adolescents. By the start of 1980s, adults were appearing as patients in significant numbers to see about improving their appearances. The pace of change in the dental profession accelerated and the dental knowledge of the average orthodontist became outdated. The need for interdisciplinary exchange was ripe. Today's goal is more than a beautiful alignment of teeth. Esthetic dentistry has become a prominent part of the treatment protocol of most dentists. Many of these patients can be treated with routine restorative procedures (crowns, composites, laminates) to achieve the desired results. However, some patients have problems with tooth position or jaw position that create significant discrepancies which can compromise the esthetic result of restorative dentistry. This presentation describes the importance of team work with the emphasis on how to achieve desired esthetics and function.

Value of modern diagnostic techniques for daily orthodontics

Synopsis:
Since the early thirties of the last century the classical patient documentation consisted of a lateral headfilm, orthopantomogram, facial and dental photographs and plaster casts. But nowadays digital technology is conquering the world and thus orthodontists are increasingly adding digital technology to their clinical records. Besides these exciting technical modalities more diagnostic possibilities may arise from new biological insights of the fundamental processes in orthodontics. This lecture will focus on the clinical values of modern diagnostics for daily orthodontic practice.

Title:
Lingual Orthodontics: Advantages of the Orapix - Straight Wire technique

Synopsis:
Because of imprecise bracket positioning and rebonding lingual orthodontics has been often described as a multi-bend archwire technique.
According to the 3D digitalized dental technology the virtual brackets are placed on an ideal virtual Set-up in the way to remove all the bends on the wires.. Then Jigs made by CAD/CAM technology allow to position the brackets on the patient in the same position as on the Set-up with an highest accuracy. The advantages are
1- Fully indivualized bracket positioning
2- Teeth are moving progressively toward the ideal position given by the Set-up
3- All treatment sequences are made with individualized preformed wires
4- Without bend on wires mechanics becomes more efficient
5- No archwire bending, chairtime is shortened and simplified
6- Better incisor torque control due to the enamel closer bracket position
7- Better patient comfort due to the straight wire form

All these adavntages make lingual straight wire technique to be an essential step in the evolution of Lingual Orthodontics: more precise, more simple and more efficient.

Many cases will be showed during this lecture

Title:
How do we manage treatment compliance in our daily practice

Synopsis:
Compliance in orthodontics has generally decreased in the past 10-15 years, which led to the development of many so called "Non-compliance" treatment devices. Most of them do still need compliance in consecutive stages of ongoing treatment, however. In this context, upper-and lower molar distalization-and bite jumping devices like Pendulum, Herbst, Mara and others are discussed. On the other hand, as compliance is still a main factor for treatment success, ways to improve it are shown.

Kunimichi Soma

Title: Focusing on Class III functional disorders

Synopsis:
Remarkable improvement is apparent these days in orthodontic treatment and its technology. Nonetheless, putting aside the cosmetic factors, functional improvements based on scientific and biological measurements have not yet been appreciated enough when measuring such treatment outcomes.

Orthodontic treatment objective and it's planning especially in case of functional disorders/symptoms attributable to malocclusion should be a mutually acceptable process between the patient and the orthodontist, rather than an obedient act to fulfill cosmetic requirements. Based on my clinical pre and post-treatment data, ranging from jaw movement, EMG, occlusal force, gravity fluctuation, etc. from the past several decades, the demographic and clinical features of functional disorders typically associated with Class III malocclusion and effective treatment approaches will be shared.

Stavros Kiliaridis

Title:
Occlusal friction" in the treatment of Class II,1 cases

Synopsis:
Not all individuals respond the same way to functional appliance treatment. The magnitude of anteroposterior intermaxillary forces after insertion of the functional appliance displays a wide variation. It is still unknown if properties of the soft tissues may explain the variation of the treatment results. In a series of studies we investigated the masticatory muscle characteristics as a predictive
variable in determining treatment effects of activators in Class II malocclusion children. We found that children with weaker masticatory muscles seem to show greater improvement in dental sagittal
relationship, possibly due to lower occlusal forces and less "occlusal friction" when shifting the bite.

Title:
Sleep Apnoea and Beyond

Synopsis:
Obstructive Sleep Apnoea (OSA) is a common disorder associated with repetitive closures of the upper airway during sleep associated with pathophysiological implications.The use of Oral Devices in the treatment of OSA has gained international acceptance, however in some cases occlusal changes have been challenging with Mandibular advancement long-term wear.Another form of treatment will be discussed along with its application in an Orthodontic setting.Although significant evidence is available in the literature in the treatment of OSA in adults there is a paucity of evidence in the treatment of children.Various treatment modalities will be discussed with the use of current Orthodontic appliances and their use in the treatment of children with Sleep Disorders.In particular the treatment of " Nocturnal Enuresis" (bedwetting) with different Oral appliances will be explored.In conclusion, the application of Dental Sleep Medicine into the realms of Orthodontics presents both exciting and rewarding opportunities for the future

Title:
Finishing in orthodontics

Synopsis:
Contemporary orthodontic finishing involves the planning for individualized aesthetics, tissue health and post-treatment stability. That planning should take into account the individual morphologic and functional characteristics of each patient. Attention to detail is paramount, not only when considering the mechanical aspects of treatment, but also in the pretreatment diagnostic process. Special emphasis should be placed on the underlying vertical muscle pattern and its implications on both the transverse width of the dental arches and smile and the antero-posterior relationships of the teeth and lips. Clinical cases with at least 10-year follow-up records will be presented.

Title:
Molecular mechanism of biomechanical loading to bone cells

Synopsis:
Bone remodeling to repair fatigue damage resulting from functional loading has been extensively reported. Nevertheless, bony repair designed by the intentional "stress fracture healing" receives less attention even though such protocols have been implemented in our patient care for some time. These include Orthopedic biomechanical loading as in Distraction Osteogenesis, rapid maxillary expansion, and Orthodontic biomechanical stretching, dento-alveolar corticotomy, and Orthognathic sagittal split Osteotomy.

At a high impact, how do osteoblasts respond? Through a series of pharmacological, loss-of-function, and mutation analysis, I will present our work on the transient MMP-13 (collagenase-3) induction by applying high mechanical stretch to osteoblasts, a biological mechanism which might shed light on the molecular mechanism of bone repair.

Title:
Managing complex malocclusions with confidence and certainty through computer-aided simulations of treatment and outcome

Synopsis:
Complex malocclusions are often characterised by significant shape, size and positional anomalies in three-dimensional space of the dento-alveolar and skeletal components. The planning of treatment and subsequent management of these malocclusions will require detailed evaluation of the extent of anatomic deviation, and the appropriate sequential treatment steps to achieve an optimal occlusion and outcome. Advanced computer technology such as digital models of the occlusion which is easily available to orthodontists can be harnessed to provide a visual step-by-step treatment planning of these malocclusions. This presentation aims to inform the audience with clinical examples that managing complex malocclusions can be approached with confidence through highly visual computer-aided simulations of treatment options. In addition, the certainty of a treatment outcome can be foreseen and determined with these patient-specific simulations.

Title:
Orofacial functions and malocclusion - is there a correlation?

Synopsis:
The development of an occlusion must be considered to be a result of the interactions between genetics and a number of external and internal environmental factors, including the orofacial functions.
Our follow-up study during the years of growth and development determined that morphological malocclusion traits scores were almost the same, while the functional malocclusion score decreased significantly. In the early period of dental development the morphological severity score is related to the stage of dental development, while at a later period, malocclusion severity score is also the result of incorrect orofacial functions at an early stage of dental development.

Title:
Appropriate early orthodontic treatment timing: interdisciplinary cooperation

Synopsis:
The controversy regarding early or late orthodontic treatment still appears unresolved, as both could grant possible benefits to the patient. Treatment should aim to providing the best outcome, in the shortest time, with a minimum of biological and financial costs. The choice of the appropriate timing for each individual is often a challenge for the orthodontists. The prevalence of malocclusion increases with age and early treatment may remove etiological factors and utilize growth forces, facilitating successful treatment. The observation of abnormal occlusal traits might escape the parents, and a better interaction between orthodontists and paediatricians, and other therapists, often in contact with young children, could increase the early referral of patients presenting a need of treatment. A cooperation with these specialists was established, involving lectures and interactive seminars, to help identifying malocclusions that might benefit from early treatment, such as increased overjet, functional cross bite, habits, premature loss of teeth... All specialists were then instructed to refer to the orthodontists their young patients presenting signs of developing anomalies. 562 individuals (21%) referred by the specialists were examined (group A), 2122 (79%) independently asked for an examination (group B). A significant difference in their mean age was observed, lower in group A: 7.8 - 9.7, p<0.01. A higher need of treatment (IOTN grades 4-5) was observed in group A (84.1%) than in group B (62.9%). Earlier observation and cost effective treatment of occlusal anomalies could be facilitated by better information and cooperation with other specialists, identifying developing anomalies at an early stage.

Title:
Lingual straight wire: a look at the future

Synopsis:
Labial straight wire therapy when applied requires less wire bending for leveling, aligning, and rotation of teeth in order to obtain better aesthetic results. We have applied this straight wire principle to lingual orthodontic treatment.
By using the new lingual self legating bracket, we developed a Lingual Straight Wire Method which reduces complicated wire bending in lingual treatment and more simplified mechanics. In doing so we also improved and made simpler the treatment procedure for orthodontists and much more comfortable for their patients.

Title:
The Stability after Orthodontic Treatment

Synopsis:
Several traditional problems such as anchorage loss, frictional forces have been solved by taking advantage of new dental materials such as new type of brackets and wires and micro-implants.
However, is Orthodontics becoming so easy? It is surely not! Especially the adolescent cases will show many instability results due to incomplete growth.
We all know that the reasons for instability of occlusion after orthodontic treatment are as follows:
1. relapse
2. maturation
3. differential growth of jaws
4. aging changes of periodontium, dentition and occlusion
We have become more familiar with the mechanism of relapse and the above phenomenon. However, we rare to study the reasons of instability caused by the facial asymmetry and the unpredictable condylar changes after orthodontic treatment. The above are the main points I would like to report and discuss in this speech.
After reviewing thousands of cases in my clinic which were followed up over 10 years during my 23 years Orthodontics experiences, I found that unpredictable growth of jaws and condyles will cause instable results. Some cases of this kind can be discovered after detail analyzing and prevention can be done.
Early treatment can be an excellent alternative for patients who have skeletal problem. However, specific case selection criteria must be evaluated before this alternative is selected as the appropriate treatment in order not to lengthen or ruin the treatment. Therefore, only advanced instruments or special technique can not solve all that problems. Accurate diagnosis resulting from efforts of long term follow-up cases is another success factor to be considered.

Title:The Use of Self-ligation System in Orthodontic Treatment to Achieve Clinical Excellence

Synopsis:
With a resurgence in the use of self-ligating bracket systems and in combination with the TAD into orthodontic treatment choices; the boundaries of clinical orthodontic treatments has expanded considerably. This presentation will explore the reality of orthodontic treatments with self-ligation systems. The transverse dimension, A-P, vertical dimension and non-surgical correction of different types of severe skeletal and dental malocclusions are being re-evaluated due to different types of mechanical advantages delivered by light force, decreased frictional resistance and coupled with temporary anchorage device. The differences between the application of sliding mechanics and loop mechanics in the using of the self-ligating systems will also be addressed. The clinical use of self-ligation system in combination with the Tandem biomechanics in different types of malocclusions will also be discussed. The presentation will also introduce the differences in clinical techniques with self-ligation, and will evaluate which claims about self-ligation are true and which is yet to be proven.

Title:
Diagnosis and Treatment of the Transverse Dimension

Synopsis:
Treatment planning from the lateral cephalogram and study casts alone has led to unsuccessful camouflages of three-dimensional skeletal problems. Skeletal relationships can identify patients who are more susceptible to periodontal breakdown. The transverse skeletal discrepancy is a reliable prediction of increased gingival recession and indications for treatment will be highlighted. This session will emphasize diagnosis and treatment strategies that are designed to correct apical base relationships (in three planes of space) for improved stability, periodontal health and frontal dentofacial esthetics. Early treatment in the deciduous or early mixed dentition is ideal for correction of transverse skeletal abnormalities orthopedically, however, guidelines will be reviewed for adolescents as well as adults.

Title: Root Resorption: Do we need to worry and how do we avoid it?

Synopsis:
Extensive clinical and basic research studies on root resorption have been conducted at the University of Sydney in Australia. The studies have covered the physical properties of root cementum, its chemical properties. The effects of types of orthodontic tooth movement, duration of force - light versus heavy forces and intermittent versus continuous forces - and upper vcersus lower jaw differences have also been investigated along with assessing genetic influence and possible prevention and interception protocols. Heavy forces were proved to cause more resorption than light forces, continuous forces caused more resorption than intermittent forces, and the amount of root resorption tended to decrease with the administration of fluoride. There is obvious repair of the resorption craters following the application of orthodontic forces. This information may help us to identify those individuals with a tendency to develop root resorption and ways to possibly prevent it.

Title: Root Damage and Repair from Temporary Anchorage Devices

Synopsis:
The ability to enhance anchorage through bone anchored devices has made it possible for orthodontist to avoid complicated biomechanics and to correct malocclusions previously treated with
Orthognathic surgery. The interradicular space has been proven to offer excellent stability for placing these temporary anchorage devices (TADs). Despite its convenience there is a risk of injuring the roots and adjacent supporting structures when TADs are placed in the interradicular area. Although animal studies have documented the effect of inflicting injury to the roots of teeth with TADs, these findings cannot be directly extrapolated to human beings. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of root injury on human beings. The out come of this study which is of immense clinical value to those using TADs will be discussed in this presentation.

Tom Pitts

Title: Passive Self Ligation - Balancing the Evidence

Synopsis:
Modern research has confirmed that with contemporary orthodontic mechanical systems a bracket must be considered as more than a "handle on a tooth". Research shows that Passive Self-ligation requires less force to overcome resistance to sliding of the teeth with sliding mechanics, and that this characteristic facilitates the expression of the Copper NiTi archwires.

These facts substantiate contemporary treatment PSL protocols where "wanted" forces and moments can be utilized to maximal clinical benefit and "unwanted" forces and moments can be reduced or mitigated.

Dr. Pitts will show examples of how the research predictions are accurately reflected in clinical practice and how the positive attributes of Passive SL can produce awesome function and esthetics in everyday practice.

Title:
The A.Thornton Taylor Lecture/ The Science of Beautiful Faces'

Synopsis:
To improve form and function of the oro-face is one of the major goals of orthodontic treatment. Our fundamental understanding of the soft tissue face, however, is not sufficient enough to achieve successful treatment outcome, and requires more accumulation of broad scientific knowledge that may help orthodontists strengthen rationales of their decisions in their practice. In my lecture, following topics will be presented:
1. What do beautiful faces mean to orthodontics/ orthodontists?
2. Objective diagnostic criteria of facial profiles
3. Asymmetry in smiles
4. Ageing - what makes difference in facial expressions?

Arthur Thornton Taylor, BDS, DDSc
1901-1987

Arthur Thornton Taylor, a pioneer in Australian orthodontics was born in 1901. Forced by family circumstances to leave school, he was apprenticed to a local dentist at the age of 14, thereby commencing a career in dentistry which finished with his retirement 61 years later. He matriculated at night school so as to enrol in the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Sydney and spent the last two years of his course already a registered dentist.

His interest in dental associations began as President of the Sydney University Dental Undergraduates Association. He was Foundation Secretary of the St George Dental Group the following year and progressed to State Executive of the ADO in 1933, becoming Vice President in 1941. Amongst his many positions within the branch, a special interest in dental health education saw him being a member of that committee from 1931 to 1952. He was also President of the Dental Alumni Society of the University of Sydney from 1950 to 1952 and was awarded its Fairfax Reading Memorial Prize in 1968.

Developing an interest in orthodontics, he travelled to the USA to study under Dr EH Angle and was in Dr Angle's last class. He returned to Australia in 1927 and commenced a very successful practice in Sydney. In 1934 he submitted his thesis "A Study of the Incidence and Manifestations of Malocclusion and Irregularity of the Teeth" and was awarded a DDSc, University of Sydney. Nearly all the senior orthodontists in practice until the 1980s acknowledge his help and guidance in their careers.

Dr Thornton Taylor was an enthusiastic for his specialty and for its Society. He was a foundation member of the Australian Society of Orthodontists in 1927 and was elected Honorary Secretary in 1930, continuing in that position until the Society lapsed during World War II. Subsequently, he was the prime mover in the re-establishment of the Society and was the first post war president occupying that position from 1950 to 1956. During this time, he oversaw the establishment of State branches in all the mainland States and worked tirelessly to raise the profile of the infant specialty. He always believed that the Society's membership be specialists, or aspirational specialists and played no small part in creating a strong organisation which is the largest specialist society affiliated with the Australian Dental Association.

Following the formation of the Society's Foundation for Research and Education in 1961, Dr Thornton Taylor became a Trustee and, later, Chairman of an organisation that now provides most of the funds for orthodontic research in Australia.

He was made an Honorary Life Member of the Australia Society of Orthodontists in 1964, a Life Member of the British Society for the Study of Orthodontics in 1970 and was elected Vice President of the Third International Congress, London, in 1973.

He was an inveterate attendee at meetings and his contributions by way of papers and clinics were legion. He published over 50 articles in the scientific literature both here and overseas. His interest in writing continued into his retirement, when he joined the Fellowship of Australian Writers and had several short pieces published.

In 1986, the NSW Branch of the ASO requested Council to name the first lecture at ASO Congresses, the "Arthur Thornton Taylor Lecture". This was agreed to and the first such lecture was delivered at Congress in Sydney in 1987. Sadly, he had passed away just two months before.

Olivier Mauchamp

Title:
Aesthetic Goals and Class II correction

Synopsis:
Recent modifications of the Aesthetic dogma include: 1-Vertical upper lip to incisor relationship in view of the soft tissue modifications with age (Zachrisson) 2- Antero Posterior placement of the maxillary incisor at the level of the Anterior Nasal Spine (Cocconi-Rafaini;Sassouni), 3- ethnic effect on aesthetic rating ( Liu and co-workers).
Those aims will be critically analysed and the results of a study concerning compromised treatment including asymmetrical extractions (Maxillary first molars) will be presented including Stability of results, Functional status, and facial modifications. This discussion is of the utmost importance in view of the increasing use of T A D (Temporary Anchorage Devices) giving the same long term results (maxillary dental distalisation).

Joseph Bouserhal

Title: How To Treat Surgical Cases Non Surgically?

Synopsis:
With the increased demand toward a better facial esthetics, orthognathic surgery has become a key factor in orthodontic treatment planning. Using surgical approach leads sometimes to an abuse if the clinician doesn't take into consideration some guidelines that could be applied in borderline cases.
This presentation will try to clarify these guidelines and trace the border between surgery and orthodontics through complex clinical cases.

Title:Rational Diagnosis and Treatment of Dental Asymmetries

Synopsis:
Dental asymmetries are considered to be the most difficult clinical situations to deal with in Orthodontics. Differential diagnosis constitutes the corner-stone from which our mechanical choice is established.

These asymmetries could be classified into posterior and anterior. Posterior asymmetries are studied in the occlusal plane according to the first order, in the sagittal plane according to the second order and in the frontal plane according to the third order. On the other hand, anterior asymmetries are analyzed in symmetrical faces where intra-arch mechanics are applied and in cases with asymmetrical faces where inter-arch mechanics are more indicated.
During this presentation, we will try to develop different force systems adapted to various clinical situations of dental asymmetries and illustrate treatment strategies through treated cases.

Title:
Biomechanics of Rapid Maxillary Expansion: In Cleft and Non-cleft Patients

Synopsis:
Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) is commonly used as part of sequential treatment for cleft palate (CLP) patients for the correction of collapsed cleft segments and to ensure normal transverse relationship between the maxilla and the mandible in non-cleft patients. Clinical studies evaluating dentoskeletal effects have provided valuable information. However, most of them have been limited in precise evaluation of the biomechanical effect of orthopedic forces on the internal bony structures, including the sutures, of the craniofacial complex. Finite Element Method (FEM) is commonly used to elucidate the biomechanical components such as displacements, strains, and stresses induced in the living structures from various external forces. As evaluated by FEM, a typical wedge shaped opening in antero-posterior as well as supero-inferior direction is observed with RME in non-cleft patients. RME causes downward and forward displacement of the maxilla, and can contribute to correction of mild Class III malocclusions. The downward and backward rotation of the maxilla could be a concern in patients with excessive lower anterior facial height, because of its potential to further add to the vertical discrepancy. With palatal defect and anatomical deformity of maxillary bone in the CLP patient, it could be expected that the interaction mechanism between the expansive force and resistance to expansion would be different in these patients. The typical wedge shaped opening following RME, observed in non-cleft patients, is not seen in cleft patients. The RME leads to asymmetric displacement and stress distribution in the two maxillary halves. It can be suggested that the patients with cleft anomaly respond differently to the expansion therapy, hence clinicians should consider a need for customization of expansion therapy for clefts patients depending on the age, type of cleft and desired area of expansion. High stresses along the deep structures and various sutures of the craniofacial skeleton signify the role of circum-maxillary sutural system in skeletal response following RME in both cleft and non-cleft patients.

Anoop Sondhi

Title:
High Performance Orthodontics with SmartClip and Variable Prescription Orthodontics

Synopsis:
Excellence in orthodontic treatment demands a high level of effectiveness in diagnosis, treatment planning, and execution of the treatment plan with organized biomechanics. The concept of efficiency has also taken center stage as patients demand shorter treatment times, and less imposition on their time for appointments.

Coupled with the efficiency that the SmartClip self-ligating system brings to orthodontic treatment is the enhanced effectiveness made possible by the use of Variable Prescription Orthodontics. It has become increasingly evident to the orthodontic practitioner that a standard selection of anterior torques is not going to provide the level of excellence that is desired. One can add a number of defining details that would affect the clinician’s choice of expressed anterior torque, such as extractions, ethnic differences in dentofacial characteristics, heavy marginal ridges, excessive occlusal wear on adult patients, etc. Given the rapid incorporation of digital technology into orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning, therefore, it becomes quite clear that a more precise choice of appliances will allow the clinician to deliver treatment that is both effective and more efficient.

Bio:
Dr. Anoop Sondhi received his dental degree from the Indiana University School of Dentistry, and his post-graduate certificate and M.S. in orthodontics from the University of Illinois in 1977.

In addition, he teaches courses on practice management, office organization, and staff management. Dr. Sondhi has also served as a consultant to the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics.

XianLong Zheng

Title:
Anterior open bite correction with preadjusted appliance

Synopsis:
In a computer cephalometric study open bite could be classified into five types, for which treatment plan is different. Clinically, about 15% cases need to extract premolar and 65% cases need molar extraction cases. When molar extracted, with reverse-curve heat active NiTi wires, treatment procedure is much simpler and treatment outcome is satisfactory. For difficult borderline cases, preadjusted appliance with micro-screw implant could get skeletal improvement which hardly be seen through traditional orthodontic treatment.

Olivier Sorel

Title: A study on three types of activators : Herbst - Andreasen - Teuscher.
Immediate effect, Long-Term Value.

Synopsis:
Functional orthopaedic therapeutics is a therapy that aims to change the stage (? position? form? shape? ) of maxillary and dental arches by modifying optimizing function. This therapy did not come about until the beginning of the nineteenth century. Robin's innovative idea was to advance the mandibule and expand the maxillary in order to improve nasal breathing (1922). After 1970, several American orthodontists led by Mac Namara and Grabber began to accept the functionalist philosophy.
The aim of this study, using statistical methods and untreated patients as a comparative sample, is to observe the changes after using 3 differents functional appliances.

Snehlata Oberoi

Title: Assessing the outcome of alveolar bone grafting using cone beam CT

Synopsis:
Aim: To assess outcome of alveolar bone grafting using cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) in unilateral and bilateral cleft lip and palate individuals.
Materials and Methods: CBCT scans with 0.4 mm slices were obtained at 2 time points (at least 1 year apart) on the Hitachi MercuRay CBCT machine. The first time point was after orthodontic expansion and before alveolar bone grafting and the second time point was at least one year after alveolar bone grafting. CBCT scans were obtained of 21 individuals with alveolar clefts (17 unilateral and 4 bilateral) before and one year after bone grafting; performed by two surgeons. Five landmarks were chosen in volume rendering software, Amira 3.1.1 in order to define the area of interest. Using Image segmentation, and volume interpolation on selected sequential slices, the total volume in cubic cm. was assessed. Inter- and intra-rater reliability was tested by two investigators re-measuring five clefts each, and statistically analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient. Lastly, the eruption of the canine was evaluated three-dimensionally using Dolphin Imaging 10.5
Results: The average percentage bone fill in UCLP of 84.1% and 84.8% in BCLP. Most canines on both the cleft and non cleft side moved incisally, facially, and mesially.

Conclusion: Secondary alveolar bone grafting of the cleft defect in our center was successful based on radiographic outcome using CBCT scans. Volume rendering using CBCT and Amira software is a reproducible and practical method to assess the outcome of bone grafting. 3D imaging provides precise information on the eruption of the canine through the grafted alveolar cleft. Ability to assess the position of erupting teeth adjacent to the cleft allows us to make reliable orthodontic treatment planning decisions.
