DOLOMITI | 27-28 FEBRUARY 2025

STATE OF THE ART CLASS II AND CLASS III ADOLESCENT TREATMENT:
TAD-SUPPORTED ORTHOPAEDIC STRATEGIES

DR. CESARE LUZI & DR. DR. EMESE SZABÒ

For decades the use of extra-oral tractions, functional appliances, traditional rapid palatal expanders and facemask have represented the most common solutions for treatment of class II and class III malocclusions in the growing patient. At present, the advent of TAD-based modern orthopaedic strategies has completely changed our approach to the problem and opened a new frontier in treatment strategies. Where are we now with these last generation protocols? The course will focus on modern orthopaedic procedures based on the combination of traditional appliances (Rapid palatal expanders, Herbst appliance, facemask) and TADs. Several clinical cases will be presented highlighting all the details of the diagnosis and the treatment, including a step-by-step description of the clinical protocols and appliance management.

DAY 1 – FEBRUARY 27

DAY 2 – FEBRUARY 28
