Conference summary
Class II Correction in the growing child: simplifying in the name of predictability
In this clinical lecture, we will discuss the management of the Class II growing patient with multiple clinical examples focusing on simplifying the design of removable functionals in order to maximise predictability and compliance. We will consider wear protocols to enhance the prospect of success.
Orthodontic-Periodontal Interface: fine margins
The association between orthodontic treatment and periodontal attachment levels will be discussed illustrating the remit of orthodontics in addressing pathological tooth migration, reviewing the orthodontic management of thin periodontal phenotype, and exploring the use of precise orthodontics in improving gingival aesthetics and managing compromised teeth.
