The Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics(TM) Technique

Dental Continuing Education — Thu, 14 Jan 2010 19:07:46 +0000


Upcoming Course Dates March 13-14, 2010 June 4-5, 2010 October 29-30, 2010		Course Objective This two day course is designed to expose the clinicians to the advanced surgical and orthodontic aspects of the Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics™ (AOO) technique and to the unique manner in which these must be coordinated to maximize the potential of this technique. Upon completion the clinician should be able to utilize the new diagnostic parameters needed to treatment plan the various orthodontic classifications and properly design the surgical aspects needed to support the orthodontic objectives. Attendees receive 16 CE credits (AGD). Testimonials From Former Course Attendees: “As a Periodontist, I work with a number of Orthodontic colleagues who utilize AOO™ as a vital treatment option for their patients. AOO™ not only accelerates the movement of teeth but the bone regenerated allows for better and more stable orthodontic results. After performing the surgery for AOO™ on hundreds of patients, I can vouch for the safety and efficacy of this procedure.” Dr. Charles A. White, Periodontist, Bentonville, Arkansas Probably the best course I have attended in years! The AOO™ approach has significantly impacted the way I address recession and GBR procedures. It has consolidated the way our interdisciplinary team addresses complex and comprehensive treatment planning. The orthodontist will see cases more biologically, and the periodontist will appreciate the mechanical aspects of orthodontic treatment. My advice, round up your favorite orthodontists and just do it (the course)! You will never look back! Colin Richman, Periodontist; Roswell, Georgia

About the Speakers This course is presented by Dr. William Wilcko and Dr. Thomas Wilcko, who over the past 14 years have developed and perfected the Accelerated Osteogenic Orthodontics™ technique. More than 700 professionals in 29 countries have been trained in the AOO™ technique. William M. Wilcko, DMD, MS Private practice in Orthodontics, Erie, PA M.

The role that CT scan imaging can play in orthodontic diagnosing and treatment planning. • Sorting through the misunderstandings of rapid tooth movement. Shedding the mechanical mind set of bony block movement and replacing this with the physiologic interpretation of bone matrix transportation. • Proper utilization of bone thinning and activation to take full advantage of the demineralization phase of the RAP. • Adapting to new orthodontic treatment parameters that take into consideration the significant increases in the limits of tooth movement and the increase in the speed of tooth movement. • The importance of alveolar and gingival grafting to provide a more intact periodontium and increased long term stability. Friday 1:00 pm 5:00 pm • Orthodontic versus orthopedic forces in de-crowding, expansive movements and space closing. Modifying orthodontic adjustment scheduling to take full advantage of the window of opportunity. • Understanding the potential and limitations of subtle facial reshaping as a substitute for orthognathic surgery. • Review the coordination of the surgical and orthodontic aspects of the treatment plan. Saturday 8:00 am 12:00 pm • Treatment Planning, treatment planning, & more treatment planning. • The proper sequencing of the rapid forced eruption of shallow versus deeply impacted teeth. • Understanding various health issues and medications that can impact the delivery of AOO™. • Points of interest and how to avoid complications. Saturday 1:00 pm 5:00 pm • Addressing the esthetics of the entire lower face and the adjustment of lip lines. • Marketing this technique to your patients.

Course Intent

This course is designed to give clinicians the confidence to perform soft tissue grafts, appropriate flap design for full and partial thickness flaps, suturing and advanced bone grafting procedures upon returning to their offices. Our structure is a combination of indepth lecture, over the shoulder demonstration and a hands-on workshop with models and fresh frozen cadaver heads on advanced bone grafting for implant placement. One of the unique features of our course is that we provide EasyGuide™ interpretation of every cadaver head to simulate a realistic learning experience. This is the closest thing to performing live surgery!

Each participant will receive a comprehensive manual which compiles PowerPoint slides from the lecture. This makes following the lecture more enjoyable than having to take detailed notes, and provides an excellent reference back in the office after the course. Each participant will also receive a personalized monogrammed scrub which can be worn in the lab, as well as a soft sided attaché.

Course Objectives

After completing this course the clinician should be able to treatment plan dental implants based on prosthetic classifications, divisions of available bone and classifications of bone density. The surgeon will be able to provide appropriate manipulation and grafting of the soft tissues, and have exposure to the practical use of cone beam software (EasyGuide™). Finally, the implant surgeon will have a more thorough understanding of advanced bone grafting procedures which will ultimately improve implant success, longevity and esthetics for their patients.

Minimally Invasive Esthetic Zone Reconstruction with LIVE Surgery, May 21-22, 2010

Dental Continuing Education — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 19:38:29 +0000

Minimally Invasive Esthetic Zone Reconstruction with LIVE Surgery Daniel Cullum, BSc, DDS May 21-22, 2010
Minimally invasive techniques incorporating esthetic zone principles are becoming established practice in implant reconstruction. The restorative dentist and surgeon must have a team approach to patient analysis and treatment planning. The benefits for our patients are: improved esthetics, less discomfort, faster healing and eager acceptance. Can we provide this predictably and with long-term stability? Join the discussion of esthetic zone management on esthetic analysis and team treatment planning, immediate implant/provisional restoration, flapless surgery and atramatic extraction, minimally invasive bone grafting, sub-epithelial and pedicle connective tissue grafts, ridge expansion, Piezosurgery and avoiding complications. Minimally invasive techniques can have a steep learning curve. Using case presentations and live surgery, Dr. Cullum will demonstrate how these techniques can revolutionize the treatment your patients receive using a team approach to implant treatment.

Implant surgical placement and restoration
Associated bone preservation and ridge augmentation grafting
Connective tissue grafting (including coronally repositioned soft tissue grafting)

In nine three-day sessions spread over nine months, the Continuum provides participants with ample opportunity both to learn and to apply new techniques. Par will develop actual cases from their own practices, beginning with diagnosis and treatment planning, proceeding through surgical guide fabrication and 3-D image analysis, and culminating in implant placement. Each participant has the opportunity to place single and multiple implants under the careful guidance of the Triangle Dental Institute faculty. The Dental Implant Continuum qualifies for 216 hours of C.E. Credit and satisfies the requirements for the ICOI Fellowship.

Technique labs, which begin at 10:00am each Friday, feature live surgeries, lectures on the science and techniques behind the surgeries, and hands-on workshops. Forty-plus hours of hands-on workshops enable participants to visualize the intricacies of lecture material. Through watching, listening, and practicing, participants gain both knowledge and proficiency in cutting-edge techniques.

Hands-on Workshops Include:

Occlusion techniques in implantology
Implant placement on sawdust jaws
3-D digital imaging manipulation
Surgical guide fabrication on preparatory models from participants’ own patients
Suturing techniques on pig jaws
Surgical flaps design and manipulation on sawdust jaws and later on pig jaws

Staff education operatory set-up, patient presentation skills, setup of implant armamentarium

Each Saturday and Sunday from 8:30am to 5:00pm, featured speakers provide in-depth information in their particular areas of expertise (see Course Schedule, pp.4-8). Throughout the course, representatives from the major implant systems, specialty instrument manufacturers and grafting material suppliers will be on-site to ensure that the participants gain a broad understanding of all products and techniques available.

Since successful implant dentistry depends upon the involvement of the entire practice, the November session provides the opportunity for participants to train and certify (ICOI) their team members.. The goals for this session include incorporating implant surgery into participants’ practices and providing staff with the skills and confidence necessary to assist in placing implants. Together, teams will view live surgeries and attend lectures on case presentation, office organization and implant maintenance. In special break-out sessions, team members will learn how to set up specialized equipment and how to effectively assist throughout the entire implant process.

All lectures and laboratory sessions take place in a state-of-the-art facility located just minutes from the Raleigh-Durham International Airport (RDU). The Research Triangle Park area is unparalleled in its commitment to research and technology, its beauty and its Southern hospitality.
