Program
Full immersion course on interceptive orthodontics in children and teenagers! During the 4-day seminar, you will learn:
– fundamental growth concepts from leading researchers
– developmental stages of occlusion and stomatognathic system
– protocols for functional diagnostics of children and teenagers depending on their age
– protocols for working with posture and airways.
Take your clinical cases to this training! You will have the opportunity to discuss them with the doctor and colleagues from different parts of the world.
This seminar will allow you to deeply immerse yourself in functional dental treatment of children and teenagers!
Seminar will be held in Hotel FourPoints by Sheraton, Istanbul.
DAY 1
Occlusions of the child and adolescent:
– The deciduous dentition: anatomical and functional aspects
– The early mixed dentition: anatomical and functional aspects
– The late mixed dentition: anatomical and functional aspects
– Growth of the condyle, development of the TMJ, growth of the mandible
– Case studies, solution-oriented case discussions.
DAY 2
Cranio-mandibular development:
– Compensation mechanism and growth
– The craniomandibular growth and denture frame: high and low angle
– Functional impact of crossbite malocclusion
– Case studies, solution-oriented case discussions: early onset of compensation mechanism, treatment strategy in different craniofacial growth pattern and in crossbite malocclusion
– Clefts of the lips, the jaw, the palate: functional impact
– Early loss of deciduous teeth
– Breast versus bottle feeding; pacifiers; thumb-sucking; oral habits.
– Frontal Ceph and facial/dental asymmetry
– Interceptive, multi-phase VS late single-phase orthodontic therapy
– Case studies, solution-oriented case discussions.
DAY 3
Therapeutic and prophylactic strategies:
– In which situations must intervention be made?
