Dr. Weiland has a private practice in Deutschlandsberg (Austria) and is a part-time associate professor at the Department of Orthodontics of the Vienna Dental School

Conference subject:This lecture aims at proving evidence-based answers to 10 clinical questions:

1. Does arch expansion with self-ligating brackets grow bone?

2. Is expansion with self-ligating brackets stable long term?

3. Aesthetics – do buccal corridors really matter?

4. Does orthodontic treatment improve a patient's periodontal condition or worsen it?

5. Does extraction treatment have a negative bearing on aesthetics?

6. Is non-extraction treatment really non-extraction?

7. Does the difference in friction between types of brackets really matter clinically?

8. Are the treatment results with self-ligating brackets better than with conventional brackets?

9. Does the use of self-ligating brackets make treatment more efficient?

10. Can we "grow mandibles" in the treatment of Class II malocclusions?

Long-Term Outcome of CLP Treatment as a Result of Interdisciplinary Cooperation and Careful Planning

Prof. Dr. Anne Marie Kuijpers-Jagtman - The Netherlands

1995-now - Professor and Chairperson of the Department of Orthodontics and Craniofacial Biology at the Radboud University Nijmegen (The Netherlands)She is a past President of the European Orthodontic Society, a former President of the Dutch Society for the Study of Orthodontics and also of the Dutch Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association. At present, she is Councillor of the World Federation of Orthodontists (WFO).

She was awarded Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau (Royal Honour of Her Majesty the Queen) for her services to cleft lip and palate treatment in 2007. In 2009 and 2011, her group received the Samuel Berkowitz Award from the American Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association for the best publication on long-term results of cleft lip and palate treatment.She has undertaken extensive research during the past 25 years in the areas of cleft lip and palate and the biological background of orthodontics. In recent years, her major interests have been in 3D-imaging in orthodontics and evidence-based orthodontic therapy. She has given numerous lectures in 35 countries around the globe.

Congress Conferences:Long-Term Outcome of CLP Treatment as a Result of Interdisciplinary Cooperation and Careful PlanningThe principal role of the interdisciplinary cleft lip and palate team (CLP team) is to provide integrated care for children with clefts and to assure quality and continuity of patient care and longitudinal follow-up. The decisive factors for the final treatment results are: a high caseload per surgeon, a clear and ‘simple’ treatment plan, and a well-organized setting for CLP-care.

From Single 3D Images to Fusion Models of the HeadNowadays, the lateral and frontal cephalogram and the OPT can be replaced by one cone beam CT scan, which enables a 3D-analysis of the facial structures. 3D-facial still pictures can be made and just recently 3D-video started to develop, which brings in the 4th dimension. Digital dental casts will replace plaster casts for clinical use and intra-oral digital impression taking is a new exciting development.

A synergy between these methods is created when they are fused together to display all three facial structures at once in a virtual head. For that reason, improvement of single 3D imaging techniques and fusion processes has been the number one priority within the 3D lab in Nijmegen.

TGO: A Modern Approach of the Bi-Dimensional Technique

Dr. Michel Le Gall - FranceDr. Michel Le Gall is the Head of the Dentofacial Orthopedics Department at the University Hospital La Timone in Marseille (France).

2005 - Conducted a study, “Etude in vitro des forces de frottement Durant la mécanique de glissement orthodontique au travers de brackets conventionnels et auto-ligaturants”

Dr. Le Gall’s Thesis on « Traitment orthodontique et chirurgical des béances antérieures » received the highest level of distinction.

Dr. Le Gall’s extensive post-graduate work at the University of Marseille included General Pharmacology and General Embryology (1984), Clinical Orthodontics (1986), Pathological Anatomy (1990) and Surgical Methodology (1991).

Conference subject:

It is during strategic phases of orthodontic treatment that the need for third order control of the upper incisor makes complete sense.

The evolution of our techniques allows us to reach such results through a proper mechanical thinking and through the use of specific

bracket/wire-assembly appliances. Improved sliding mechanics and lower friction guarantee the generation of the proper forces for dental

movement, while taking physiology into consideration.

Therefore, the TGO prescription combines the benefits of the In-

Ovation® system to an innovative prescription in the anterior region
