In orthodontics there are many variables each patient presents with many differences and sets of circumstances, including facial types, skeletal differences, joint position and tooth positions to name only a few. In order to systemize and be able to truly diagnosis and treat each person individually, we must have some order in our clinical examinations, diagnostic records review, treatment planning and treatment itself.

They are a relatively new addition to the dental armament and in some cases they can be used to replace traditional anchorage of orthodontic extra-oral appliances and/or titanium mini-plates with monocortical screws temporarily fixed in the mandible and maxilla for absolute anchorage. TADs have a high success rate and they are strong enough to allow absolute anchorage also in orthodontic-surgical combined cases. This may include skeletal anchorage, facilitating a light eruptive pulling force on the impacted tooth by means of intraoral elastics which are connected from the mini-screw to an orthodontic brace attached to the impacted tooth. It is even extremely important as an alternative option to surgical extraction of a complex positioned wisdom tooth. Extraction of a third molar located in close proximity to the mandibular canal or to the lower mandibular body border may result in neuro-sensation impairment due to inferior alveolar nerve injury or mandibular body fracture caused by loosening of bone mass in the mandibular lower border site. In addition TADs may serve as a skeletal anchorage in 3 dimensional control of bone segment mobilization by means of distraction osteogenesis. Multidirectional orthodontic forces exerted via intraoral elastics and a fixed orthodontic appliance may enable redirection of the distracted bone segmented into an accurate preplanned position. The aim of this presentation is to describe a multidisciplinary approach applying TADs in a series of combined orthodontic surgical cases. A detailed orthodontic and surgical evaluation and biomechanical considerations along with a definitive treatment plan and post treatment follow-up will be presented for each of the cases. 33 GEORGE ANKA S.

TITLE MINISCREW DISTALIZATION: I’VE GOT THIS FEELING OF DÉJÀ VU LATELY. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT With the introduction of TADs in clinical Orthodontics after the AAO meeting 1999 San Diego which is approximately 12 years ago, where we discussed about the name TADs itself and it implementation in Orthodontic science. Since then, we are familiar with the intrusion, extrusion, distalization and mesialization of all teeth in 3D of space where were difficult if not impossible with conventional orthodontic mechanic in the past. In this presentation we like to focus on one area of sagittal section of asymmetry of the face caused by canted occlusal plane.The treatments of asymmetry will involve into two areas, first eliminating of the cause whenever possible such as bad habit, posture etc., and next help by movingg the teeth into an ideal position within their alveolar or sometime with the alveolar housing itself to give a camouflage effect to please the face after the treatment. This presentation will introduce one of the system involve in 3D correction of canted occlusal plane with TADS. The presentation will oriented on its bio mechanic and of how far we can do with the skeletal camouflage with orthodontic alone and its limitation. This presentation was chosen in this opportunity as in many times in daily orthodontic practice we are dealing with patients with skeletal problems but who hesitate to receive surgical intervention correction. This presentation will give an example treatment of the grey zone (orthodontic or surgery); a way of how we can do dental alveolar compensation and dental alveolar orthopedic with TADs, eliminating the surgical procedure. Moving’ molars back is but one strategy to outsmart the dentoalveolar compensation mechanism for growing individuals. As a consequence, a montage of molar pushers have certainly gained market share over the past quarter century. Various gadgets and gizmos have been proposed and promoted to produce predictable Class I molars; often making unsupported claims of efficacy. Problems especially arise at the cessation of facial growth as attendant anterior anchorage loss becomes problematic for dentally-anchored distalizing devices. Research investigations of a series of more than 700 “distalized” patients have directed the continued evolution and improvements of techniques, devices, and more than a couple of papers. We return again to pose the problem: if prevention of anchorage loss is an issue for a particular patient, then a device dependent upon pure skeletal anchorage, (specifically, the Horseshoe Jet with mini-screw support) may provide the solution. 34 ▪ Examination of the evidence regarding the evolution of molar distalization mechanisms. ▪ Discussion of the development of a distalization appliance (Horseshoe Jet), supported by pure skeletal anchorage; eliminating the concerns of anchorage loss. 35 TAMER BÜYÜKYILMAZ ALBERTO CAPRIOGLIO Attended the postgraduate program at the Department of Orthodontics, University of Oslo where he got his master degree in 1993 and PhD in 2003.

TITLE ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The aim of this presentation is to show the clinical consequences of injured root surfaces when mini screws intentionally had been moved into contact with premolar roots or premolar roots accidentally touched by the mini screw or the pilot drill. The SEM findings on the surface morphology and histological findings of the damaged and repaired root surfaces will be presented. Long-term outcome of teeth with possible iatrogenic damage following mini screw application will be discussed. Objectives: To compare dento-alveolar and skeletal effects resulting from the use of 3 different molar distalization devices in treatment of Class II dental malocclusion: Pendulum, Fast-Back and MGBM-System. MATERIAL AND METHOD: 103 patients were selected and analyzed with a retrospective study. Lateral cephalograms and model cast were analyzed before, post-distalization and at the end of the treatment. RESULTS: The length of time for obtaining molar distalization was on average 8 months for Pendulum and MGBM-System and 9 months for Fast-Back. All the 3 systems were effective to obtain molar distalization. A greater inclination of the occlusal plane and a greater mandibular post-rotation was observed in all 3 groups. All the appliances were effective in obtaining a satisfactory Class I relation. CONCLUSION: The results, in relation to different dento-alveolar effects found, lead us to use Pendulum or Fast-Back and MGBM System with specific indications for the treatment of class II malocclusion compared to dento-alveolar and skeletal pattern or aesthetic characteristics of orthodontic patients. 36 NON COMPLIANCE CLASS II MECHANICHS: ARE ALL EQUALS? 37 JUNG-YUL CHA CHAIRAT CHAROEMRATROTE 1999 2002 2007 DDS, MSc(Orthodontics), Cert. in Advanced Graduate Study in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, DScD (Orthodontics),Thai Board of Orthodontics, American Board of Orthodontics.

TITLE ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Maxillary molar distalization is a useful approach for the resolution of Class II malocclusion. In deep bite with short facial height cases, Computerized 3D virtual dental models are currently available, and their use has started to improve treatment outcomes. The accuracy of digital models has been demonstrated by many studies and this system is now being applied to assess the American Board of Orthodontics objective grading system (ABO OGS). Recently, a digital model was combined with a high technology computer-driven system, which was developed for the application of a digital set-up and indirect bonding of lingual attachments. In this presentation, virtual treatment planning using a virtual set-up program will be introduced, and the clinical application and accuracy of computer-generated indirect bonding will be discussed. In addition, surgical guide system as a new implantation method of orthodontic miniscrew will be presented. Maxillary molar distalization is a useful approach for the resolution of Class II malocclusion. In deep bite with short facial height cases, molars need to be extruded to reduce the over bite and to increase the facial height simultaneously. Cervical-pulled headgear is an appliance of choice but the outcome is often compromised by patients’ compliance. In this presentation, interdental mini-implants are introduced between upper molars and second premolars together with trans-palatal arch on the upper molars. Right and left heavy buccal wires are placed in the head gear tubes for transferring force from the mini-implants to the upper molars. After achieving the molars in Class I relationship together with extrusion, the appliances are maintained to support the anchorage during premolar and canine retraction. From cephalometric superimposition, the upper molars are both distalized and extruded while the facial height is increased. Case selection, rationale of their function, the protocol of their use and clinical cases will be presented. 38 ORTHODONTIC MINI-IMPLANT FOR SHORT-FACED CLASS II DEEP BITE CORRECTION. 39 GIANCARLO CORDASCO MAURO COZZANI Born in Cosenza on 05/08/1949, degree in Medicine at the University of Messina on 30/07/1976.

TITLE TITLE ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT WITH INVISIBLE ALIGNERS: BIAS AND REALITY. THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL CONCEPTS IN TREATMENT OF TMD AND ITS OCCLUSAL RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT THROUGH TADS BIOMECHANICS. ABSTRACT In the last years the number of patients requiring orthodontic treatment with invisible aligners is considerably increased and it probably will in the next future. What are the challenges and the possibilities of this treatment modality at present? Is inter-proximal enamel reduction necessary with aligners? Is it still possible and fair to refuse aligners’ treatment by an orthodontic professional? Are there malocclusions where this could be the treatment modality of choice? This questions and others will be answered during the presentation. 44 ABSTRACT The changes of shape and spatial position of the jaws induced by evolution are the core of the etiopathogenetic theory of craniomandibular disorders proposed by the authors. The predisposition to the development of the disease lies in the anatomy of the maxillary and in the occlusal relationship and only Orthodontics can obtain a stable results of therapy. Orthodontics may be associated with orthognatic surgery, exclusive or associated with the use of TAD. The TADs biomechanics can achieve results not obtainable by other traditional orthodontic means or without orthognatic surgery, and gives results unthinkable a few years ago for every orthodontist. In addition, the authors emphasize the importance of Cone Beam 3D technology for refined diagnosis and treatment planning of cases with DCM. 45 GIANLUIGI FIORILLO HUGO DE CLERCK Laurea in Odontoiatria con lode nel 1992 presso l’Università La Sapienza di Roma; Specializzazione in Ortognatodonzia con lode presso l’Università di Ferrara nel 2000.

TITLE TITLE THE ANTHROPOLOGICAL CONCEPTS IN TREATMENT OF TMD AND ITS OCCLUSAL RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT THROUGH TADS BIOMECHANICS. BONE ANCHORED MAXILLARY PROTRACTION IN GROWING CLASS III PATIENTS. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Miniplates resist better to high discontinuous forces than miniscrews do. Therefore they can be used for intermaxillary orthopedic traction. Class III elastics can be fixed between Bollard anchors on the skeletal base of the maxilla and mandible of young growing patients. Can the growth of the maxilla and/or mandible be stimulated, restricted or redirected? Which biomechanical approach should be used? What’s the best loading protocol? The results of this continuous pure orthopedic traction will be discussed based on a Cone-beam CT at T1 and T2 registered on the anterior cranial base. The outcome will be compared to a control group and face mask orthopedics. The changes of shape and spatial position of the jaws induced by evolution are the core of the etiopathogenetic theory of craniomandibular disorders proposed by the authors. The predisposition to the development of the disease lies in the anatomy of the maxillary and in the occlusal relationship and only Orthodontics can obtain a stable results of therapy.

ABSTRACT The use of miniscrew as orthodontic anchorage has been widely accepted in the field of orthodontics during recent years. In the past we have reported the effective use of miniscrews as orthodontic anchorage by comparing the clinical outcome with conventional orthodontic treatment in various malocclusions. In this presentation, I would like to compare the clinical outcome between labial and lingual appliance and with or without the use of miniscrews. The need of lingual appliances still has been increasing especially among Asian populations because of aesthetic reason. However, compared with labial appliance, lingual appliance is known to have different clinical outcome such as the “bite opening effect” and decreased axial inclination of maxillary incisors. Therefore, we have evaluated the occlusion by objective grading system (OGS), skeletal aspect by cephalometric analysis and functional problem by Gnathohexagraph. We have compared cases treated with labial appliance with the use of miniscrew, labial appliance without the use of miniscrew, lingual appliance with the use of miniscrew, and lingual appliance without the use of miniscrew in 50 patients. From results of the present study, superior anchorage and incisor control was observed by the cephalometric analysis. Better torque control is possible in lingual appliance, however, root paralleling is difficult in lingual compared to labial appliance. In addition, there was no significant functional problem in lingual cases. Therefore, from our quantitative clinical evaluation, we have precisely indicated the problems in finishing lingual cases that would be valuable from clinical point of view. 48 TITLE O.A.S. (ORTHODONTIC ANCHORAGE SCREW): A USEFUL DEVICE IN ADULT INTERDISCIPLINARY TREATMENT. ABSTRACT Nowadays orthodontics is not only for children and adalescents. For the past three decades increasing numbers of adults have been referred to orthodontists to correct their malocclusion; often interdisciplinary approach seems to be the suitable way to make prudent treatment decision for these patients. A team or orthodontist, oral surgeon, periodontist and restorative dentist must interact to achieve the best goals in adult complex cases. In the last years, miniscrews have become the most used device to provide absolute anchorage without patient compliance; their utilize can be critically advantageous for interdisciplinary adult treatment. Emploing case reports, some clinical application in whome the use of miniscrew contributes to reach better outcomes will be described (upper molar distalization in nocompliance patient without loss of anchorage, orthodontic extrusion and lower molar uprighting without bonding any tooth). 49 ELLOUZE SKANDER ANNE MARIE KUIJPERS-JAGTMAN Dr. Ellouze has received his Degree in Dental Surgery from the Faculty of Monastir (TUNISIA) and completed his Post-Graduate Certificate in Orthodontics at the University of Bordeaux (France) and Post-Graduate Certificate in Lingual Orthodontics at University of Paris V.

ABSTRACT Digital technology is becoming an ever more important procedure in most of our clinical activities and thus orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons are increasingly adding digital technology to their clinical records. The technology to produce three dimensional images of the face has been improved and refined over the last decade and fulfills now our diagnostic purposes. Radiation based techniques, laser surface scanning, structured light techniques, stereophotogrammetry, MRI and ultrasound are three-dimensional facial imaging techniques that are available now. The next step on the horizon is 4D motion analysis. The purpose of this lecture is to explore the latest developments in surface imaging of the face and to expose the audience to the question: is it time for me to go three-dimensional? 50 51 JORGE FABER GIAMPIETRO FARRONATO Dr. Faber is Professor of Orthodontics of University of Brasília.

ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Traditional orthodontic therapy of bialveolar dental protrusion (BDP) in adults is frequently associated with extractions along the visible spectrum of the smile. This is performed in order to attain the sufficient space required to solve the problem through teeth retraction. Although this may well be considered the best treatment option in some cases, it is actually a paradox. A considerable number of patients undergo this therapy in the pursue of aesthetic improvements, while extractions end up jeopardizing the beauty of the smile and the face, regardless of the presence of an orthodontic appliance. Extractions aesthetic side effects keep many patients away from orthodontic treatments, especially those people whose aesthetic demands are not compatible with pre-molars or first molars extractions. Nevertheless, a new way of avoiding extractions and correcting BDP is the use of miniplates to retract both upper and lower teeth simultaneously. Dr. Faber has been employing this treatment alternative for many years in his private practice and this conference is going to address its execution. 52 The cephalometric analyses play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment planning. The traditional cephalometric analyses are based on three different x-ray projections: the latero-lateral tele-radiography, the postero-anterior tele-radiography and the axial projection. Nevertheless, conventional radiographs are limited, because they provide a 2-dimensional representation of 3-dimensional structures. The traditional system, analysing separately the three dimensions, shows a weak point because often the dentofacial alterations take place in a three dimensional space. CBCT properly represents the 3-dimensional morphology of the cranium skeletal structures. In the Orthodontic Department of the University of Milan, the cephalometric analysis is performed through a new 3-dimensional methodology. This new methodology allows an easy, effective and repeatable way to decrease the operator-driven errors. This new 3-dimensional methodology is based on the identification of 18 points, of which 10 median points and 8 lateral points, all of them identified on a hard tissues TC section and verified on the two remaining TC sections.The introduction of 3D imaging technique is definitely revolutionizing the planning phase of the combined orthodontic-surgical treatment. The use of the computer, together with a dedicated software, allow for a fast, precise and standardized procedure. 53 LORENZO FAVERO FRANCESCO GARINO Il Prof. Lorenzo Favero si è laureato in Medicina e Chirurgia presso l’Università degli Studi di Padova.

ORTHOCAD IOC: FROM INTRAORAL SCANNING TO CLINICAL APPLICATIONS. ABSTRACT Introduction: Excluding the third molars, the agenesis of the upper lateral incisors is unfortunately second only to the agenesis of the second bicuspids, with a prevalence of around 1-1,5%(1-2). Each of the current treatments in the scientific literature (anterior space closure with canine substitution, or anterior space opening with implant placement) presents its own peculiar advantages and disadvantages(3-4-5). Objective: the purpose of this study is to conceive and apply a new methodological approach for the treatment of upper lateral incisors agenesis. Materials and Methods: a new approach has been conceived by means of the anterior space closure, with the mesialization of the canine and the bicuspids aided by mini-implants(6-7), combined with a posterior space opening to create adequate room for the placement of an implant in the second premolar area(8-9-10). The reshaping of the canine is necessary(11-12). Results and Discussion: the final results are a correct tooth alignment with class I molar relationship; the presence of natural teeth in the frontal group; an excellent dental and periodontal aesthetic right after the orthodontic treatment; the eventual implant is located in the nonaesthetically-so relevant posterior area; the occlusal integrity is preserved. Clinical cases demonstrate the above. Conclusions: a critical analysis of posterior space opening shows how is possible to gather the advantages from the previous techniques, excluding at the same time the majority of their drawbacks. Intraoral scanning is one of the newest IT applications in orthodontics which became reality in the last years. This new technology will allow the orthodontist to bypass some traditional procedures as impression taking which represent sometime a not pleasant experience for the patient. During the lecture it will be explained in detail all processes involved in the implementation in an orthodontic practice, not only in terms of use but also in terms of clinical applications which can be generated from intra oral scanning. Digital models in real time, virtual set up and indirect bonding procedures based on the virtual set up are some of the clinical applications which are related to intraoral scanning. It will be explained the difference with the previous traditional procedures and the speaker will introduce the newest integrations of intraoral scanning with invisible appliances. During the lectures some clinical cases will be presented to highlight the importance on the use of this new technology. 54 55 ALDO GIANCOTTI ANTONIO GRACCO EDUCATION: 1984 University of Rome “La Sapienza” School of Dentistry: Rome - Italy DDS 1996 University of Ferrara - Italy Orthodontics Certificate Degree in Dentistry and Dental Prosthetics from the University of Padova.

SKELETAL ANCHORAGE AND CUSTOMIZED ORTHODONTICS: IS IT POSSIBLE TO COMBINE THEM? ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The use of TADs in Orthodontics can be considered a useful and sometimes unavoidable auxiliary device in several clinical conditions. Through orthodontic literature their use has been widely documented in several scientific and above all clinical papers, but it’s not so common to find a rational and logical application of TADs from a biomechanical point of view. In some clinical reports, orthodontic mechanics is not highly defined, therefore lacking logical ratio. Other clinical cases show that patient consideration regarding the number of miniscrews really necessary to obtain the desired outcome is missing. The aim of this lecture is to illustrate the ideal biomechanical indications for using Tads, according to biomechanical principles. We can simplify Tads applications into two different categories: Alternative Applications; (deepbite, arch leveling, Class II with extraction, Class II without extraction). Elective Applications; (insufficient dental anchorage, asymmetric anchorage conditions, hostile biomechanical conditions). The Alternative applications are indicated in cases in which the use of TADs could optimize and simplify the whole treatment, in order to perform orthodontic movement avoiding the adverse effects of the anchorage forces. They represent the most common orthodontic malocclusion such as Class II treatment and deepbite. 56 Nowadays, the most recent technological developments permit us to provide our patients with totally individualized appliances. Dental movements can be planned and managed directly by the clinician using a digital set-up. In this phase, it is possible to plan the use of auxiliaries such as orthodontic mini-screws to aid more complex movements. Planned developments in this technology include the integration of intra-oral scanners and DVT. In this presentation, the Insignia system and several cases treated by means of customized appliances together with mini-screws will be described. 57 JOHN K.

NEW PARADIGM IN ORTHOPEDIC CONTROL USING TEMPORARY ANCHORAGE DEVICES (TADs) ABSTRACT ABSTRACT If nonextraction treatment is indicated and the molar distalization mechanics are used, there are some of side effect each clinicians need to overcome such as 1) Anterior Mesialization of incisors during molar distalization. 2) Anterior Mesialization of posterior segment during incisor retraction. 3) incresing total treatment time. 4) patient cooperation. These four factors can be reduced or eliminated when the TAD is applied into mechanics. The presentation will illustrate direct application of TAD as well as indirect application of TAD for the cases in the mixed dentition and permanent dentition. The class II and III cases will be shown. 58 Recently, orthodontic treatment is radically changed since absolute anchorage system has been developed. Orthodontists can move not only teeth but also jaws using temporary anchorage devices (TADs). If the TADs were inserted in the target bone, an orthodontist could only move teeth using TADS, however, if the TADs were inserted in another bone beyond the sutures, we could move the target bone itself using TADs. The orthopedic controls, bone absorption and apposition at sutures, has been able to manipulate using TADs with this theory. This novel orthopedic control provides radical skeletal changes in growing children such as surgical corrections in adults. The maxilla can be distalized and intruded when orthodontists use the TADs inserted into the zygomatic arch for traction; bone absorption would occur at the zygomaticomaxillary suture by orthopedic force (Koyama, 2009). In addition, the maxilla can be moved forward when we use the TADs inserted into infrazygomatic crests and the canine in the mandible for traction; bone apposition would occur at the zygomaticomaxillary suture by orthopedic force (De Clerck, 2009). These orthopedic controls using TADs must change orthodontic treatments, and they would save many growing children who have skeletal deformities. I hope to advance this innovative treatment in the future. 59 OM P KHARBANDA Dr. Om P Kharbanda is Professor and Head, Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi.

ABSTRACT This presentation will deliberate research findings on implant related factors for diameter, length and shape of the miniscrew and how they differentiate in the stress pattern with cortical and cancellous bone with varying force levels at two angulations of force direction. The effect of screw length, diameter and shape was also investigated for insertion and removal torque and insertion and removal thrust. Findings of Finite Element Analysis relating to different miniscrew design with stress pattern on bone architecture will be corroborated to propose alternate design of the miniscrew. Research related to biological factors on bone density measured with CT scan, implant location in gingiva and bone and laboratory studies on inflammatory markers in peri-implant fluid will be presented. 60 SEONG-HUN KIM Director, Kyung Hee International Facial Orthodontic Research Institute (KIFORI) Associate Professor of the Department of Orthodontics School of Dentistry, Kyung Hee University.

TITLE LESS HARDSHIP, MORE OPTIONS WITH C-TUBE MINIPLATES. ABSTRACT A new treatment system called ‘Biocreative Orthodontics’ developed by Dr Kyu-Rhim Chung is to implement independent target teeth movement while avoiding extending unnecessary orthodontic appliances to posterior segments during the orthodontic treatment period. This concept developed from the fact that specially designed temporary skeletal anchorage devices (TSADs) such as partially osseointegrated C-implants or miniplates with tube can easily endure multidirectional heavy forces even when they support orthodontic arch wires with high success rate. A recently introduced type of orthodontic miniplate/tube device called “C-tube” was used for patients where the conventional mini-screw was not suitable. Some examples would be a narrow interradicular spaces, extended maxillary sinuses, dilacerated roots, and severe alveolar bone loss. Since the miniplate fixation screws are very short, there is adequate retention in the alveolar plate, and the clinician can avoid the increased morbidity of anchoring to the zygomatic buttress. This makes placement quite easy with superficial anesthesia and small incision only. However, in some cases of pneumatization patients or systemic disease patients such as diabetes malletus and heavy smoker, T-type C-tubes with longer miniscrews are recommend for better stability. In this presentation, I will introduce the new type of TSADs, treatment concept, simple and easy application way through update scientific researches and excellent case reports. 61 TAE-WOO KIM SHINGO KURODA PROFESSOR Department of Orthodontics School of Dentistry, Seoul National University 28 Yunkeun-Dong, Chongno-Ku Seoul 110-768, KOREA 1996 Graduate school, Faculty of Dentistry, Osaka University, Japan (D.D.S.) 2000 Graduate school, Graduate School of Dentistry, Osaka University, Japan (Ph.D). 2000-2008 Assistant Professor, Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Okayama University Graduate School of Medicine, Dentistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, Japan. 2007-present: International review board member, American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics. 2008-present: Associate Professor, Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, Institute of Health Biosciences, The University of Tokushima Graduate School, Japan 2009-2011: Visiting researcher, Laboratory for the Study of Calcified Tissues and Biomaterials, Department of Stomatology, Faculty of Dentistry, Université de Montréal, Canada. 2009-2011: Clinical instructor, Section of Orthodontics, Department of Oral Health, Faculty of Dentistry, Université de Montréal, Canada. 2010: Diplomate, Japanese orthodontic board VICE PRESIDENT OF KOREAN ASSOCIATION OF ORTHODONTISTS TITLE TITLE ORTHODONTIC TREATMENT OF SKELETAL OPEN BITE. TADs FACILITATE INTERDISCIPLINARY APPROACH FOR PATIENTS WITH MULTIPLE MISSING TEETH. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT There are three treatment methods for skeletal open bite cases, 1) orthognathic surgery, 2) orthodontic treatment with extrusion of anterior teeth, and 3) orthodontic treatment with intrusion of posterior teeth. Some skeletal open bite cases were treated successfully without orthognathic surgery, by extruding the anterior teeth or by intruding the posterior teeth. In this lecture covers 1) Methods to intrude posterior teeth with mini-implants., 2) Guidelines to select the ‘segmental’ or ‘en masse’ intrusion mechanics, 3) Comparing cases; one treated with extrusion of anterior teeth (MEAW technique) and the other treated with intrusion of posterior teeth (Mini-implant technique), 4) Clinical tips of Method 5 (Method of choice to intrude the upper posterior teeth), and 5) Summary. 62 Missing tooth is one of the most common dental problems in adult patients. There is variety of reasons to loss their teeth, i.e. periodontal disease, caries, trauma, genetic abnormality and so on. To treat the defect, orthodontic treatment is often required prior to prosthetic restorations, because the proximal teeth easily move to the defect region. In addition, the tooth defect left for a long period of time induces not only partial but also complete malocclusions. However, orthodontic treatment had been occasionally difficult in patients with multiple missing teeth because they do not have enough anchorage teeth for required tooth movement. In the past decade, temporary anchorage devices (TADs) have evolved as a main stream orthodontic technique since they can provide absolute anchorage without patient cooperation. Particularly, they are extremely useful in the cases with missing molars. In my lecture, I would like to show the effective usage of TADs in interdisciplinary approach for the patients with severe periodontal disease or oligodontia. Conclusively, TADs facilitate interdisciplinary treatment for the patients with missing teeth, and this new strategy can dramatically change its diagnosis and treatment result. 63 KEE-JOON LEE JANG YEOL LEE Dr. Kee-Joon Lee received DDS and PhD degree from Graduate school, College of Dentistry, Yonsei University, Seoul, Korea.

ROLE OF MINISCREW IN SURGICAL ORTHODONTICS. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Adult patients with various skeletal discrepancies tend to express their specific concerns such as the appliance show, cost and invasiveness of treatment. However, the treatment may be limited by normal and/or pathologic conditions including periodontal breakdown, missing teeth and arch shrinkage. Thereby comprehensive information on the up-to-date biology as well as biomechanics needs to be recruited, integrated and applied to individual patients, with the TADs playing a central role. This presentation will cover how to set individual treatment goals using TADs in the following issues. 1. High demand for lingual treatment 2. High risk factors including periodontal breakdown 3. Limitation of bone formation Obviously the orthodontists nowadays take advantage of various new technologies, but those could only be appreciated by showing the benefit from the patients’ side. The overall presentation will hopefully induce an affirmative answer for this question. 64 Miniscrew is now a daily-based routine procedure of our orthodontic treatment and many attempts of applying miniscrews have been tried and introduced in the case of patients who require orthopedic treatment and orthognathic surgery also. The primary aim of pre-surgical orthodontics is correction of tooth movements which is termed as dental compensation for skeletal discrepancy, which shows not in the anterio-posterior relationship but can be expressed in the vertical ways. In conventional ways, presurgical orthodontics was mostly focused on the tooth movement which is for a decompensation in horizontal aspect. But it is obvious that most skeletal deformities affect vertical growth as well and they will be compensated in the alveolar bones and teeth vertically. These compensatory adaptations mostly have been corrected surgically throughout decades. It seems that this is time to look closer into the aspects of our conventional pre-surgical orthodontics and try to find out a more efficient way of pre-surgical orthodontic movement combined along with miniscrews. In this presentation, various situations will be shown in our pre-surgical orthodontic movements and possible applications of miniscrews which can be added to the conventional pre-surgical orthodontic movement or post-surgical orthodontic movement will be suggested. ss 65 JOHNNY JOUNG-LIN, LIAO JOONG-KI LIM DDS, dental department, National Taiwan University MS, Graduate institute of dental and craniofacial science, Chang Gung University Director, Beauty Forever Orthodontic Clinic 1992 Graduate from Dental College, Yonsei University, (Diploma D.D.S.) 1992 - 1995 Certificate in Orthodontics, Yonsei University Dental Hospital 1993 - 2006 Post Graduated Course, Graduate School, Yonsei University (M.S.D., Ph.D.) 2003 - present Clinical assistant professor Dept. of Orthodontics Johnny Joung-Lin, Liaw completed his orthodontic training at National Taiwan University Hospital in 1994 and received his master degree in Chang Gung University.

VERTICAL MAXILLARY EXCESS CORRECTION USING MINI IMPLANT. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Mini-implant anchorage has been applied widely in orthodontic treatment for anchorage control in recent years. Maximal retraction without anchorage loss is the primary objective while utilizing mini-implants. Total arch distalization after maximal retraction was noticed in some protrusion cases, which exceeds the original expectation. If total arch distalization is feasible, flared incisors can then be repositioned to an ideal position without extraction. Non-extraction approach with miniscrew anchorage can not only be successfully applied in upper arch distalization for Class II correction, but its application in lower arch distalization for Class III correction has also produced satisfactory results. Severe Class I crowding cases are also good candidates for total arch distalization. Nevertheless, proper diagnosis should be carefully performed prior to proceeding with treatment modalities incorporating mini-implants. Various anchorage setups in various malocclusions for total arch distalization and the key to the successful total arch distalization- exodentitional position of the miniscrews will be demonstrated in the presentation. The limiting factors of this treatment approach will be also discussed in the end. 66 Long face syndrome (vertical maxillary excess) caused by congenital intermaxillary disharmony has maxillary horizontal and vertical overgrowth. The size of mandible is within a normal range or undergrown, the mandible rotated backward and downward with increased lower anterior facial height. Depending on eruption levels of anterior teeth, it could be accompanied by open bite, gummy smile or normal overbite. It is difficult to close one’s mouth completely, along with hypertonus mentalis muscle, aggravates symptoms of mandibular retrognathism, and lip protrusion. There are two options to treat VME (vertical maxillary excess). One is orthognathic surgery to enhance maxillo-mandibular correlation. The other is camouflage treatment only to improve dental relationships. In case of orthodontic treatment excluding an orthognathic surgery, retraction of anterior teeth through extracting premolar is the objective of the treatment. It’s because the conventional treatment has difficulties to correct vertical relationships. In this presentation I’ll deal with VME correction using mini implant. Not only conventional anterior-posterior improvement, but also methods and possibilities to improve vertical appearance will be explained. I’ll lead this presentation in this order below. 67 JAMES CHENG-YI LIN JOHN JIN - JONG LIN Clinical Assistant Professor, School of Dentistry, National Defense Medical University, Taipei, Taiwan Consultant Orthodontist, Dept. of Orthodontic & Craniofacial Dentistry, Chang-Gung Memorial Hospital, Taipei, Taiwan Secretary General, Taiwan Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry Director, Dr. James Lin & Associates’ Orthodontic & Implant Center.

TITLE TITLE INTERDISCIPLINARY AND TADS APPROACH IN SHORT FACE PARTLY EDENTULOUS ADULTS. TOUGH CLASS III CASES MADE EASY. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT For short face adult patients, they usually present with square facial type, short lower anterior facial height (LAFH), adequate/insufficient smile and intact/partial edentulous dentition. Due to current lay person’s expectation for orthodontic therapy is more than just straighten teeth, we, as professional orthodontists, what services can we provide for those short face patients to fit their desires? This presentation will encompass orthodontics, periodontics, restorative and implant dentistry plus TADs focusing on current interdisciplinary treatment philosophies and methodologies for management of short face patients who lost their teeth and /or have insufficient smile problems. Equal emphasis will be placed on the correct ratio of upper anterior clinical crown length/width, causes & treatment strategies of insufficient smile as well as esthetic crown lengthening procedure to achieve optimal facial, smile and pink/white esthetics. Recently due to the current development of the self-ligating brackets and Temporary Anchorage Devices (TADs), it makes the treatment of difficult Class III cases much easier. In Asian countries, Young Kim’s MEAW technique (Multiple Loop Edgewise Archwire) was very popular for correcting difficult Class III malocclusions. With the more play of the archwire in the slot of the passive self-ligating bracket, many difficult Class III can be treated much easier without using the MEAW. With the advancement of TADs, treating of difficult Class III cases become easier too. In this presentation, differentiation of above two types of Class III treatment will be explained with many difficult Class III cases. Many traditional extraction treatment even orthognathic surgery can be avoided. 68 69 ROBERTA LIONE ERIC J.W.

TITLE TITLE IMMEDIATE AND POST-RETENTION DENTO-SKELETAL EFFECTS OF RAPID MAXILLARY EXPANSION INVESTIGATED BY COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY. THE ALVEOLAR OSSEOUS REACTION AND CHANGES OF FACIAL PROFILE IN CLASS III ADULT PATIENTS TREATED WITH TADs. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Objective: To determine by low-dose CT protocol the dental, periodontal and skeletal effects of Rapid Maxillary Expansion (RME) as assessed by low-dose CT protocol. Subjects and Methods: The study sample comprised 17 subjects (7M,10F; mean age 11.2 years). Multi-slices CT scans were taken before treatment (T0), at the end of the active expansion phase (T1), and after a retention period of 6 months (T2). On scanned images measurements were performed at the dental, periodontal and skeletal levels. The mean differences in measurements at T0, T1, and T2 were examined with ANOVA for repeated measures with post-hoc tests (P<0.05). Results: In all subjects the opening of midpalatal suture was observed. All intermolar transverse measurements resulted significantly increased at both T1 and T2 with respect to T0. The evaluation of T0-T1 changes showed a significant reduction in alveolar vestibular bone thickness while in the evaluation of the overall T0-T2 changes, the lingual bone plate thickness of both first anchorage molars resulted significantly increased. Conclusions: RME therapy induces a significant enlargement of the transverse dimension of the maxillary arch in growing subjects without permanent injuries to the periodontal bony support of anchoring teeth discernible at CT imaging. 70 The treatment goal of using TADs to treat Class III adult patients is to retract the lower incisors for the correction of anterior crossbite and improvement of the lower lip posture. However, this could accentuate chin prominence and root dehiscence in some cases as well. This presentation will address on the clinical methods of individual assessments of the alveolar osseous reaction based on the bone physiology, and to illustrate what kind of case would have a favorable change on the facial profile through a simple pre-treatment cephalometric measurement. 71 LUCA LOMBARDO CESARE LUZI M.D. 2004 University of Palermo School of Dentistry D.M.D. 2007 University of Ferrara Postgraduate school of orthodontics of Ferrara Dental degree at the University of Rome “La Sapienza”.

IMPROVING THE EFFECTS OF HERBST TREATMENT WITH MINI-IMPLANT SUPPORTED ANCHORAGE. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The imaging technology is quickly swinging toward 3d CBCT. The 3d images are impressive in their details and their ability to show spatial relationships in 3 dimension helps us to diagnose the relative location of the anatomic parts of the craniofacial complex. The superiority of cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) with respect to traditional two-dimensional radiographic techniques is well known throughout the scientific community that should openly welcome these new imaging techniques as a step forward in the treatment of our patients. However, the radiation dose to the patient with CBCT are higher respect to traditional x-ray and orthodontic assessment with imaging technology should follow the “as low as reasonably achievable” (ALARA) principle. . The aim of this presentation is to discuss the role of CBCT in the daily orthodontic practise in order to understand the real improvements in diagnosis, the risks and the costs. The main indications, advantages and disadvantages will be discussed by the clinical cases presentation. Class II treatment has greatly evolved with the introduction of no-compliance systems. The possibility of eliminating the variable of patient collaboration together with the use of fixed devices opens to more predictable results with shorter treatment times. To date, with a history of over 100 years, the Herbst appliance is still a state of the art solution and the most used device for solving class II malocclusions. Repositioning forward the mandible with the Herbst appliance has proven to be greatly efficient but determines as the main side effect the proclination of lower incisors, which can minimize the skeletal effects of such type of treatment. The recent introduction of skeletal anchorage devices, especially mini-implants, have revolutioned daily clinical practice allowing absolute anchorage control. This benefit can be extended to class II no-compliance devices which can be used in association with skeletal anchorage devices eliminating any possible anchorage loss, opening a new frontier in class II treatment protocols allowing more efficient results with shorter treatment times. The combination of a mini-implant-supported modified Herbst appliance will be presented discussing the rational association of these devices for the optimization of orthopedic class II treatment. 72 73 BIRTE MELSEN WON MOON Professor Melsen was born in Aabenraa, Denmark 9 June 1939.

ORTHOPEDIC CORRECTION OF CLASS III HIGH ANGLE CASES AND NOVEL IMPLANT DESIGN. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT Birte Melsen, DDS Dr.Odont. Department of Orthodontics ,School of Dentistry, Aarhus University When an orthodontic force is added to a tooth or a group of teeth the displacement will be identical to the vector of the force, but the type of tooth movement will be determined by the localization of the line of action of the force in relation to the center of resistance of the tooth/teeth. Depending on the design TADs are can offer one, two or three dimensional control. With a one dimensional control the TAD has to be placed along the line of action of the desired force vector. TADs that have 3-D control can on the other hand be used as indirect anchorage and develop many points of application of the forces. This will widen the applicability of the TADs and reduce the number of TADs necessary for the solution of particular problems. The lecture will focus on treatment planning when using TADs as indirect anchorage. The primary aim of this presentation is to explore and to expand the application of Micro-Implant Technology in orthopedic correction of Class III high angle cases rather than limit the use only as an anchorage device. The Class III high angle cases are considered to be the most difficult problem in modern orthodontics. Clinical and mechanical obstacles associated with orthopedic correction utilizing conventional orthodontic treatment modalities will be explored, and several new approaches eliminating these problems by the use of Micro-Implants will be presented. Several clinical cases involving significant changes in maxillofacial complexes through growth modification will be examined in detail. The secondary aim is to demonstrate new concepts in Micro-Implant design. The conventional Micro-Implant design had inherent problems in dealing with physiologic obstacles such as roots, neurovascular bundles, sinuses, etc., and it has not been possible to apply orthopedic force directly. The novel Micro-Implant design developed recently may be an answer for the above mentioned problems, and the recently published results demonstrating its convenience and stability will be illustrated. Utilizing the novel design may play a key role in developing treatment protocols for orthopedic corrections through growth modification by allowing us to select convenient locations for implant placements and apply orthopedic force directly. The use of growth modification techniques in conjunction with this new device opens doors to many new possibilities. 74 75 RAVINDRA NANDA PETER WING HONG NGAN Dr. Ravindra Nanda is at present UConn Alumni Endowed Chair, and Professor and Head of the Department of Craniofacial Sciences and Chair of division of Orthodontics, University of Connecticut, Farmington, Connecticut, U.S.A.

TITLE EFFICACY OF TADs IN CLOSING EXTRACTION AND MISSING TEETH SPACES: A BIOMECHANICS PERSPECTIVE. TITLE SKELETAL ANCHORAGE FOR CLASS III ORTHOPEDIC TREATMENT. ABSTRACT Most of us who use protraction facemasks in treating developing Class III malocclusions with deficient maxilla will encounter anchorage loss such as mesial movement of maxillary molars and incisors.

TITLE TITLE INTERDISCIPLINARY MANAGEMENT OF COMPLEX DENTAL CASES BY MEANS OF MINISCREW IMPLANTS. CORRECTION OF THE ANTERIOR- POSTERIOR PROBLEMS WITH ORTHODONTIC MINI-SCREWS. ABSTRACT The mini-screws brought a revolution in orthodontic paradigm, especially, anchorage and biomechanics. This presentation will present the rationale and biomechanics for the correction of the anterior-posterior problems with mini screws. By using mini-screw implants as anchorage, it is possible, to produce three dimensional movements of the teeth without patient’s compliance and side effects. Furthermore, the range of orthodontic tooth movement is significantly broadened and treatment time is also shortened. Many modifications can be made in the appliance design and clinical tips will be introduced according to the required situations. And also, with the combined use of mini-screws and biomechanical concepts, we can get excellent results and the tooth movement in anteriorposterior direction can be controlled as desired. With the proper use of mini-screws, we have come closer to the faster, efficient and esthetic orthodontic treatment. Clinical cases, treated with the anterior-posterior movement of the teeth for the correction of the anterior-posterior problems by using miniscrews will be presented and also biomechanical considerations will be described. Orthodontic management of adult patients with complex problems is very challenging. Miniscrew implants are a very useful tool, since they can be efficiently used to reinforce orthodontic anchorage, especially in cases where the support of dental units is quantitatively or qualitatively compromised, such as in partial edentulous patients or periodontally involved teeth. This allows orthodontists to treat these patients, who otherwise would be not possible to receive treatment, enabling the dentists to conduct more conservative treatment plans. The aim of this lecture is to discuss several aspects of the clinical application of miniscrew implants through case presentations of complex dental patients with different orthodontic problems, such as deep or open bite, Class II or Class III malocclusion, missing or impacted teeth, etc. 78 ABSTRACT 79 ANDREU PUIGDOLLERS Director Orthodontic Department.

TITLE PRIMARY STABILITY, MECHANICAL PERFORMANCES AND PROPERTIES OF DIFFERENT COMMERCIALLY MINI-SCREWS. ABSTRACT Mini-screws have served as anchor to support orthodontic tooth movement in animal models and in humans, and has been used for orthodontic anchorage in the last decade 1,2 . Mini-screw implants (MSIs) belong to the category of temporary anchorage devices (TAD). The different physical factors of MSIs as the shape, length, diameter, threads and size are extremely related to primary stability. Two different studies concerning primary stability are presented: 1) The primary stability of microscrews inserted in lamb maxillae using Periotest. In this study, 72 titanium mini-screws of four different commercially available brands were inserted in 6 lamb maxillae. Primary stability of different lengths, diameters and shapes were compared. 2) Comparison of 11 mini screws in terms of pullout strength, torque resistance, torsional fracture strength and stability by finite elements analysis and periotest. In this second study, 220 mini-screws of seven different commercially available brands were inserted at 8mm depth in an artificial bone to evaluate the primary stability. In the first study length of the MSIs (8 vs. 10 mm) did not affect the primary stability of the microscrews. Diameter (1.6 vs. 2 mm), also, did not affect the primary stability of the microscrews. On the contrary, conical microscrews showed greater primary stability than cylindrical ones. In the second study the mechanical properties of the different MSIs showed different mechanical behaviors. The length of the MSIs are more sensible in the stability than the diameter. Torque resistance behavior is greater in conical MSIs than in cylindrical shape MSIs. More insertional torque is related to diameter, but number and size of treads has a deep impact in stability. For the MSIs with the same diameter, more number of threads or bigger threads increase the pullout strength. In general terms, higher pullout strengths is strongly diameter dependent but less in small diameters . Torque is more dependent of diameter and shape of the threads of MSIs. Stability of the MSIs is more dependent on the large size than in diameter with periotest and FEA, with similar correlations values. Periotest can be a proper instrument method for measuring MSIs stability. 80 W.

TITLE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES OF BONE BIOLOGY APPLIED TO TEMPORARY AND AUXILIARY ANCHORAGE IMPLANTS. ABSTRACT The success or failure of a temporary anchorage device (TAD) depends on the: 1. biocompatibility of the implant material, 2. surface geometry of the device, 3. load-transfer characteristics of the TAD-bone interface, 4. Osseous tissue density, 5. Geometric distribution of supporting bone, 6. Viability of adjacent bone, 7. Micromotion at the interface, 8. Wound healing response, and 9. the intensity of the regional acceleratory phenonomon (RAP). TADs placed in the oral cavity are rarely designed to achieve osseointegration. Micromotion at the TAD/bone interface may result in a nonunion, that is manifest as mobility and fibrous connective tissue interface. On the other hand, nonintegrated TADs may remain “rigid” but move by a differential modeling process, relative to basilar bone when loaded. Osseointegrated endosseous implants provide rigid dentofacial orthopedic anchorage, and remain stable relatively to basilar bone. Both TADs and permanent prosthetic implants, with an auxiliary function, can provide effective anchorage for dentofacial orthopedics in three dimensions. 81 RON RONCONE RAMESH SABHLOK After receiving his undergraduate degree from Marquette University, Dr. Roncone pursued graduate study in physiology and neuroanatomy at the Medical College of Wisconsin (Marquette School of Medicine) while simultaneously earning his dental degree from the same university.

ABSTRACT In orthodontics there are many variables. Each patient presents with many differences and sets of circumstances, including facial types, skeletal differences, joint position and tooth positions to name only a few. In order to systemize and be able to truly diagnosis and treat each person individually, we must have some order in our clinical examinations, diagnostic records review, treatment planning and treatment itself.

TITLE PREDICTABLE MAXILLARY MOLAR DISTALIZATION WITH MICRO-IMPLANT ANCHORAGE IN THE CORRECTION OF CLASS II MALOCCLUSION. ABSTRACT Distalization of maxillary molars is a viable option for the correction of class II malocclusion. However, Anchorage loss and patient compliance are the major problems when using conventional molar-distalizing appliances. The advent of temporary anchorage devices has revitalized orthodontic biomechanics and made it possible to achieve predicable results without any side effects. This presentation will include temporary anchorage devices using buccal and palatal micro-implants as well as micro-implant supported conventional appliances like Distal Jet and pendulum for the distalization of molars using the concept of absolute anchorage. The focus will be on biomechanical and diagnostic considerations and countering strategies to combat the unwanted side effects. The effect on second and third molars, appropriate timings, force levels, anchorage requirements and post-distalization mechanics will be also addressed. 82 83 GIUSEPPE SCUZZO ANTONINO G.

TITLE TITLE NEW LINGUAL STRAIGHT WIRE METHOD: A LOOK AT THE FUTURE. COMPLETE CLINICAL ORTHODONTICS. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The lingual orthodontic technique introduced by Dr. Fujita in the 1970s used a mushroom arch-form. Due to the morphology of the lingual surface of the teeth, the mushroom arch-wire is still used today for lingual orthodontic treatment. However the complicated wire bending and difficulty of mechanics affects both the treatment results and increases the length of chair time. In order to improve traditional lingual orthodontic mushroom arch-form , which involves complicated handling, arch-wire bending, difficulty in mechanics and upper/lower arch-coordination, we developed the lingual straight arch-wire (LSW) method in 1995. New LSW method with new bracket design has been improved to compensate these faults. This technique using plane arch-form, can make arch coordination easy and simple mechanics such as sliding mechanics can also be used. Less wire bending will give doctors an easy technical approach and reduce chair time, therefore patient’s comfort will also be improved. Learning Objectives: ▪ Lingual Straight Wire concept ▪ Biomechanical and mechanical advantages of LSW ▪ Protocol setup for LSW and new bonding procedure ▪ Case Report This presentation will introduce the participants with the concepts of Complete Clinical Orthodontics and its biomechanics. Complete Clinical Orthodontics is a comprehensive orthodontic system that integrates the best principles of classic orthodontics with new technologies, such as self-ligating appliances, to provide practical solutions. Although self-ligation doesn’t change the basics of orthodontics, it represents an improvement of bracket design and facilitates treatment delivery. The orthodontist should understand what can be expected and how to manage these appliances to be efficient and consistent. Several cases with different malocclusions will be reviewed throughout the presentation. 84 85 JUNJI SUGAWARA HIDEO SUZUKI Dr. Junji Sugawara is currently a Director at the SAS Orthodontic Centre, Ichiban-cho Dental Office, Sendai, Japan, and a Visiting Clinical Professor at the Division of Orthodontics, School of Dental Medicine, University of Connecticut, Farmington, He graduated from Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan in 1973 and worked there over 30 years.

TITLE TITLE STRATEGIC THIRD MOLAR EXTRACTION: NEW EXTRACTION CATEGORY. COMPENSATING ORTHODONTI C TREATMENT: A PROPOSAL OF SKELETAL DISCREPANCY DIAGNOSIS AND ORTHODONTIC IMPLANT SELECTION. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT In traditional orthodontics, the case which third molars were solely extracted has not been considered as an extraction case, but been categorized as a non-extraction case. However, it has now become possible to predictably distalize the molars using the skeletal anchorage system (SAS) following third molar extraction and to improve anterior crossbite, upper protrusion, crowding, and asymmetric dentition without having to extract the bicuspids. Therefore, it may not be appropriate to classify those cases into the non-extraction case, because extraction spaces of the third molars were intentionally used for correction of such orthodontic problems. From a realistic point of view, those cases should be defined as “a strategic third molar extraction case”, and should be differentiated from a non-extraction case or an extraction case. In this symposium, I will introduce various types of the strategic third molar extraction cases, and refer to its diagnosis and treatment planning. 86 The selection of an insertion site is determined by some factors, such as the biomechanics of the chosen appliance, mini-implant dimensions, local anatomy (tooth and bone), facial type and skeletal discrepancy. Essentially, there are three cephalometric methods to study skeletal problems: by using intracranial reference, extracranial reference and natural head position and centroid reference derived mathematically. This new proposal for orthodontic diagnosis aims to estimate the natural head position through a mathematical model for centroid construction (facial centroid and center of equilibrium). In this presentation, it will be shown a simple method for diagnosing skeletal discrepancies (vertical and sagittal) to allow the clinician to select a proper biomechanics using orthodontic implant illustrated by clinical cases. 87 FLAVIO URIBE STEFANO VELO Dr. Uribe received his Master‘s degree and Certificate in Orthodontics from the University of Connecticut after receiving the DDS degree from CES University in Medellin, Colombia.

ABSTRACT TITLE Orthodontic tooth movement often requires an understanding of the biomechanical systems used. As forces are being applied, moments are being generated. These moments may be conveniently applied to teeth; however, reactive forces and moments may be transferred to the miniscrews. Single miniscrews are not very good at resisting torsional moments and may fail when these force systems are applied. Splinting miniscrews is an alternative to counteract the moments generated during orthodontic tooth movement while preserving miniscrew stability. This lecture will present different applications and technical options available to splint miniscrews. Clinical cases will highlight the advantages and uses of this technique. Finally, one couple systems are very versatile force systems to be applied from miniscrews. Examples of one-couple systems used to conform to a specific line of action of force will be presented. PRIORITY FACTORS IN THE SKELETAL ANCHORAGE WITH MINISCREWS. ABSTRACT TITLE 88 Among the many aspects of the skeletal anchorage with TADs , one which is taken into particular analysis in clinical practice is the method of inserting the miniscrew in the interradicular bone spaces ( safe zone ), and in particular what is the ideal angle of insertion and the optimal position for desired force vectors. If the use of the surgical guides are certainly of great help to avoid harming anatomical structures , often the insertion of miniscrew is affected by factors that are beyond the capabilities of the operator as well as the precision of the surgical guides. These factors influence and determine substantially both the angle of insertion of miniscrews and the choice of safe zone . We are going to analyse these factors which we will call Priority Factors (P.F.) The Orthodontist will carefully consider the P.F. and, thus, will find the location and angle that best suit his needs for skeletal anchorage and biomechanics. 89 FRANK WEILAND BENEDICT WILMES Frank Weiland was born in the Netherlands.

TITLE TITLE FROM HARD FACTS TO TOTAL NONSENSE: WHAT COMPANIES TELL YOU ABOUT SLBs. SKELETAL ANCHORAGE IN ORTHODONTICS: NEXT GENERATION APPLIANCES. ABSTRACT ABSTRACT The first ligature free brackets were introduced in 1935. During the following decades numerous designs were patented but hardly ever reached production status. In recent years, however, self-ligating brackets are in the focus of interest. All major orthodontic companies market their own designs. According to the sales promotional material, each company has the bracket system that may solve all clinical difficulties. This lecture will present a critical overview, based on clinical cases and scientific analyses, of the most frequently used selfligating bracket systems on the market and point out the discrepancy between companies’ promises and scientific proof. 90 Their small size allows mini-implants to be inserted in a variety of sites. Currently, the alveolar process is the most preferred insertion site. However, due to the varying bone quality and the risk of root contact, the survival rate of implants inserted in the alveolar ridge still needs improvement. Other regions, such as the anterior palate and the mental region provide much better conditions for TAD insertion, since the amount and quality of the available bone is far superior. In order to utilize mini-implants inserted in the anterior palate, the Benefit mini-implant system is presented. Different types of abutments and connectors (Beneplates) allow the construction of versatile and cost efficient appliances for a large variety of clinical applications. The Mentoplate is a titanium plate that is fixed in the mental region especially for early class III corrections und lower molar mesialization. Utilizing TAD´s in the anterior palate and the mental region eliminates the risk of root injury and takes the implants out of the path of tooth movement. 91 EVENT SPONSOR BRONZE SPONSOR SILVER SPONSOR A.I.O.T.
