Abstracts

Lecture 1: Distal-driven orthodontics: Tips 4 TADs

Modern idea of case-driven orthodontics refers to an approach in treatment that emphasizes tailoring the planning to the specific needs and characteristics of each individual patient. This approach recognizes that each person is unique, customizing the orthodontic treatment to address their particular dental, skeletal, and soft tissue features.
A comprehensive diagnosis is crucial in case-driven orthodontics, particularly in distalization or extractive cases. Distalization, as known, refers to the movement of teeth distally, a crucial aspect when addressing issues such as crowding, protrusion, or malocclusions; the same issues are fundamental in the selection of extractive cases and when teeth extractions are commonly recommended.
Questions such as: distalize or extract? Maximum anchorage or loss of anchorage? TADs or not? Those that may seem like simple questions often hide the pitfalls of orthodontics. Therefore, case-driven orthodontics is a way of thinking, a dictum that experience allows us to replicate cases with similar efforts and results. The paradox that follows is simple: case-driven orthodontics is treatment flexibility within a rigid framework.

Lecture 2: The broken smile

One of the most important aspects to take into consideration when evaluating the outcome of treatment of traumatized tooth is the final periodontal health. Orthodontics has animportant role to play in the treatment of patients with dental traumas when one considers the manifold consequences to dental development and various treatment options presently available. The lecture will define the general guidelines to obtain a proper smile and how to adapt them to a patients with a dental trauma to the anterior teeth.
Treatment plan for patients with traumatized teeth involves a detailed evaluation of both the prognosis for the injured teeth and treatment of the malocclusion. A coordinated treatment plan, incorporating clinical and radiographic findings of healing and of complications must be established before orthodontic treatment begins. The periodontal conditions of the adjacent teeth will be used as possible reference for the traumatized area. Several cases will be shown in order to link theory to the orthodontic daily clinic.
