COURSE TOPICS
Dr. Robert Keirn, Editor of the Journal of Clinical Orthodontics, stated that the future of orthodontics will focus on three main areas: 3D imaging to replace two dimensional cephalometry, self-ligating brackets, and micro-implants as endosseous anchorage. This lecture focuses on Dr. Sampermans’ clinical experiences working over the last 11 years with active self-ligating brackets, having finished over 5000 cases with this type of bracket.
The freedom of sliding using thin heat-activated super elastic wires changed the treatment procedure dramatically. The interaction of the clip and bigger rectangular wires overcomes many previous torquing problems. This very clinical lecture using several patient examples, gives a detailed overview of diagnosis, treatment planning, wire sequences and mechanics using self-ligating bracket systems, along with lots of clinical tips and tricks.
- Historical review of the pre-adjusted appliance system
- Changes in treatment planning: asymmetric extractions
- Advantages of self-ligating bracket systems
- Clinical use of friction and binding
- Prescription selection
- Differences between passive and active self-ligating systems
- Important keys to bracket placement with recommendations for direct and indirect bonding
- Leveling and aligning, including extraction and non-extraction treatment and arch wire sequencing
- Accurately and efficiently establish a stable arch form and coordinating arch wires
- Efficient space closure using light force sliding mechanics and loop mechanics
- Finishing with predictable and precise clinical outcomes

LECTURER
DR GUIDO SAMPERMANS
Graduated in 1980 as a general dentist from the University of Leuven, Belgium. In 1986 he started his private orthodontic office in Belgium and in 1997 in Heinsberg,Germany. From 2003 to 2010 he led an orthodontic office in Maastricht, the Netherlands. In 2010 he opened a brand new orthodontic office in Echt, the Netherlands. This office is considered a state of the art orthodontic office, including progressive concepts about service and efficiency using the latest digital developments. Dr. Sampermans is an affiliate member of the Angle Society in Southern California (USA) and has taught orthodontic treatment philosophy and orthodontic practice management both inside and outside of Europe for 15 years. He also offers micro-seminars in his office on self-ligating brackets, indirect bonding, computer related 3D technology, and modern practice management. Since 2003, he has been a speaker at 30 orthodontic congresses. He has first-class knowledge and extensive experiences with pre-adjusted appliance systems (Andrews, Roth, MBT, Roncone). He has worked with active self-ligating bracket systems since 2003, finishing over 5000 cases with this system. Dr. Sampermans is a guest lecturer at the post-graduate program at the University of Regensburg, Germany and lecturer at the ZAFI-Institut in Vienna.
