  • Integration of 3-Dimensional Surgical and Orthodontic Technologies with Orthognathic “Surgery-first” Approach in the Management of Unilateral Condylar Hyperplasia
    CLINICIAN'S CORNER Integration of 3-dimensional surgical and orthodontic technologies with orthognathic “surgery-first” approach in the management of unilateral condylar hyperplasia Nandakumar Janakiraman,a Mark Feinberg,b Meenakshi Vishwanath,c Yasas Shri Nalaka Jayaratne,c Derek M. Steinbacher,d Ravindra Nanda,e and Flavio Uribef Farmington, Shelton, and New Haven, Conn Recent innovations in technology and techniques in both surgical and orthodontic fields can be integrated, espe- cially when treating subjects with facial asymmetry. In this article, we present a treatment method consisting of 3- dimensional computer-aided surgical and orthodontic planning, which was implemented with the orthognathic surgery-first approach. Virtual surgical planning, fabrication of surgical splints using the computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing technique, and prediction of final orthodontic occlusion using virtual plan- ning with robotically assisted customized archwires were integrated for this patient. Excellent esthetic and occlusal outcomes were obtained in a short period of 5.5 months.

  • Level 1: Treatment of Simple to Moderate Malocclusions
    LEVEL 1: TREATMENT OF SIMPLE TO MODERATE MALOCCLUSIONS COURSE OUTLINE COURSE NAME “Orthodontic Management of Simple to Moderate Malocclusions: an Online and Onsite Course for Dentists” This course is designed to improve the knowledge and ability of dentists from emerging countries to diagnose, select, and treat patients with moderate malocclusions. It is an 18-month course that uses blended learning to provide general dentists with an opportunity to learn how to manage orthodontic treatment of patients with moderately complex malocclusions at an internationally acceptable level. The online modules allow students to learn and study at home or work while onsite sessions (in dedicated cities) and online supervision allow students to learn and practice patient skills under the supervision of orthodontists recognized by the World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO). This course does not replace post-graduate specialist programs, but it is a step forward in teaching international level orthodontic care. www.discoverortho.com Page 1 GOALS This course is designed to improve the knowledge and ability of dentists to diagnose, select, and treat patients with moderate malocclusions. At the end of the course, participants are expected to be able to recognize, diagnose, select, and manage the treatment of patients with moderate malocclusions. Participating dentists will also learn to recognize and to refer more severe or complex cases to specialists or other dentists better- trained in orthodontics.

  • Biomechanics of Orthodontic Correction of Dental Asymmetries
    Biomechanics of orthodontic correction of dental asymmetries Edsard van Steenbergen, DDS, MDS" and Ravindra Nanda, BDS, MDS, PhD b Farmington, Conn. Correction of dental asymmetries requires special attention in orthodontic treatment. Several types of asymmetries are described, along with the biomechanics needed for correction. Treatment with different appliance designs that correct these asymmetries with the lowest level of negative contribution from side effects will be compared with conventional treatment. (AM J ORTHOD DENTOFAC ORTHOP 1995;107:618-24.) Asymmetries are commonly observed in matoid arthritis, 9 condylar hyperplasia, 2 cleft lip various combinations in orthodontic patients.

I C Eung-Kwon Pae University of Connecticut 2000 ii PREFACE The field of biomechanics has been mindfully applied to the principles of orthodontic appliance design. The assumption, however, that the force system is the determinant factor in treatn1ent response has not been vigorously tested. The relationship between the appliance-delivered stimulus and the biological response, therefore, warrants clinical docllmentation. Analagous to the dose-response model of contemporary medicine, a "stimulus-response" model is useful in determining the effectiveness of the care promoted by our specialty.
