Vienna | 2020 – 2021

This course program consists of 10 modules, each 2 days, spread over two years giving an overview of contemporary high quality and efficient orthodontics.

The course focuses on the orthodontic treatment with straight-wire. Over the past 30 years due to new concepts and material developments this technic has improved and became the most used in the world. Dr. Guido Sampermans has more than 25 years of experience with this technic and runs a state of the art office in Vienna where all the sessions of this 2 year course will take place.

One of the important aspects of this course is the diagnosis and treatment planning of orthodontic patients. Many cases will be discussed during this course. Participants can bring own cases to be discussed and planned during the course. Another important pillar of this course is the use of all new digital technologies available at the moment: digital photography, import and export of the photographs into the imaging program OnyxCeph, import and digital measurement of 3D models, segmentation of 3D models for set-ups and production of 3D trays for indirect bonding and aligners. 3D Printing demonstrations in the own orthodontic lab. In every session practical digital exercises will be done with the imaging program OnyxCeph. By the end of this course every participant will become an expert in digital orthodontics, giving the possibility of implementing this knowledge directly in to their offices.

The course is very practical, with direct and indirect bracket placement exercises on typodonts and life demonstrations on patients of Dr. Sampermans. Wire bending exercises, insertion of mini screws and 3D printing demonstrations. Using many patient files from the office, all treatment planning and clinical treatment steps will be explained in detail. Problems and mistakes during the treatment will be shown and alternative solutions will be discussed.

KEY ELEMENTS OF A QUALITY DIGITAL ORTHODONTIC OFFICE.
INTRODUCTION TO THE IMAGING PROGRAM ONYXCEPH.

Being successful is much more than being clinical excellent:

• cutting edge office design 
• digital technologies to improve quality and efficiency 
• teambuilding
• leadership
• patient satisfaction 

Practical exercises on the laptop: introduction to OnyxCeph: 

• import of photographs, X-Rays and 2D and 3D images,
• digital editing of those images,

This software program will be used in each module deepening the knowledge with each session. OnyxCeph will be the communication tool between Dr. Sampermans and participating doctors. After each session course participants will receive digital home-works. They may also do a digital preparation of own cases to present during the course.

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 and in 2015 in Vienna. These offices and study centers are considered to be state of the art orthodontic offices, 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 40 international orthodontic congresses. He has worked with active self-ligating bracket systems since 2003, finishing over 6000 cases with this system.
