COURSE TOPICS
The revolution of skeletal anchorage: A paradigm shift in modern orthodontics.
Skeletal anchorage has broadly widened the spectrum of modern orthodontics and increased the clinician’s possible treatment options, both when dealing with growing patients and with adult patients with compromised dentitions. Absolute anchorage can now be planned in any clinical situation aiding the clinician in difficult tasks like space closure, vertical control, intrusion and extrusion of group of teeth, forced eruption of impacted teeth, class li mechanics and many mare which will be described. Furthermore, adult patients, which generally request an inter-disciplinary management of the dentition, often present anatomical lack of teeth usable for anchorage purposes, or need of absolute anchorage as no side effects can be accepted. Mini-screw implants will be presented and explained in every single aspect, including the insertion procedure which will be tried by every participant on artificial material. Their ratinal use and interdisciplinary treatment planning will be discussed through a series of case presentations throught the day. Possible risks and complications will be also explained, highlighting the most important factors leading to clinical success.
THE DUAL SYSTEM PHILOSOPHY.DUAL SLOT AND ACTIVATION FOR RATIONALLY EFFICIENT ORTHODONTICS.
Self-ligating brackets and the concept of low friction brought on the orthodontic market an increasing number of innovative treatment techniques and philosophies mainly centered on the characteristics of the brackets and wires used. Unfortunately, this took away attention from the the solid principles of a correct and detailed diagnosis, focusing on the concept of a „simple” and „pre packaged” orthodontics in which the malocclusions adapt to the mechanics and not viceversa. New generation brackets and archwires should not guide the treatment decisions but should guarantee to the clinician complete reliability in the expression of the prescription values and simplify the journey to the treatment objectives. Low friction is often synonymous of lack of control, especially when using passive-type brackets, because of the use of undersized archwires in oversized slots, generating difficulties in torque control, rotation control and finishing of the occlusion. The Dual System Philosophy was thought for the need to guarantee maximum torque control in the anterior segment without loosing the benefits of the low friction in the posterior segments. Combining the feature of the Dual Activation with a bi-dimentional slot size makes it possible to cancel the weak points of the passive self-ligating bracket allowing simplicity to achieve optimal results.
