Class II Correction: What to expect when you’re correcting
What are the odds that we’ll correct a Class II when we try? How can we know when we’ll be successful or fall short? This lecture will discuss the roles of tooth movement, growth, and luck in Class II correction. We will take an evidence-based approach to studying Class II correction and learn when and how much to bet on mandibular growth for your Class II correction and when to make other plans. We will discuss the differences and similarities between functional appliances, correction springs, and elastics in the improvement of Class II malocclusions. We will also examine the important role that occlusal intercuspation plays in Class II growth that is often overlooked.

Dr. Robert Carmichael - Prosthodontics
Robert Carmichael: A multidisciplinary approach to habilitation of children and young adults with congenital absence of teeth.
This lecture will review the prevalence, etiology and consequences of congenital absence of teeth, and explore the evidence base supporting the use of dental implants in the treatment of young adults and, in some cases, children. A holistic, multidisciplinary approach is advocated involving: pediatric dentist, orthodontist, surgeon and prosthodontist. General guiding principles will be reviewed that govern decision-making around: pediatric dental care, orthodontic treatment goals, determination of skeletal maturity, surgical management, prosthodontic habilitation and aftercare. Hopefully that this presentation will help practitioners to organize their thoughts and workflow when dealing with congenital absence of teeth superimposed on the dynamic framework of growth and development.
