How to increase the clinical efficiency with digital orthodontics

Firas Hamzeh

The Dental Studio, Hollywood Smile Clinic, UAE

The world turns into digital. The development of the technology in the last decade was incredible these new technologies had big influence on our dental profession on all the speciality. In the world of orthodontics so many digital softwareʼs were infiltrated for diagnostics, treatment planning and in the productions of the appliances and the applications of these techniques in daily practice.

We'll have a look in this presentation about the latest technologies with the customized brackets and how we can improve our clinical efficiency by saving time and efforts.

Biography:
Firas Hamzeh started his postgraduate training program at the university of Nantes -France in 1994. He obtained his first certificate of advanced studies in dental materials used in dentistry in December 1995 and his certificate of high studies in dento facial orthopedics in 1997.
At the same university, while he was studying this certificate he started his diploma in orthodontics in 1996 and he obtained his Masters in 1999. Hamzeh moved to Dubai in 2000 and he started his practice in the private sector, he started to use the self ligating brackets with the Damon system in the year 2004 and he continued his advanced training with Damon system with best ormco”s educators then he became an exclusive user of Damon system in his practice Since the year 2008. Heʼs one of KOL with Damon system and Insignia in the middle east. Firas Hamzeh had advanced knowledge in Orthodontic digital solutions. Hamzeh is recognized as an early adopter and advocate of innovative orthodontic systems including aligners and digital custom brackets INSIGNIA BRACES (he was also the first Insignia user in the middle east ) his first case was in 2012. In addition to being KOL ( key opinion leader ) for ORMCO and an international Ormco speaker on INSIGNIA the Damon system. In addition to this he loves to treat the TMD cases because he has been following a lot of training program in occlusion and TMJ including the ROTH Williams philosophy.
He completed his postgraduate training program in TMJ, occlusion and orthodontics – San Sebastian, Spain. Since 2013 heʼs treating patients with temporomandibular joint disorders.
Dr. Hamzeh has presented in so many international orthodontic conferences, his main focus in his lectures is the digital orthodontics.

Complications and failure in dental implantology

Helme Altaee

Helmis Specialized Dental Center, UAE

The use of dental implants to restore missing teeth has steadily increased over the past three decades. It is perhaps not surprising, then, that the number of implant-related complications has grown as well. Numerous clinical studies involving dental implants have revealed encouraging outcomes; however, there is an element of risk associated with all clinical procedures, and these encouraging results may have given rise to unrealistic expectations. Despite careful planning, there is always a potential for surgical complications. Nevertheless, carrying out routine tasks with care and attention, choosing minimally invasive techniques when indicated, recognizing evidence of a developing problem, and giving prompt attention will reduce postoperative and prosthetic complications. The successful outcome of any surgical and or prosthetic procedure requires attention to a series of patient-related and procedure-dependent parameters. Sound knowledge of surgical anatomy and experience and training in the prosthetic dentistry and implantology are important prerequisites for predictable implant surgery. Also, adequate presurgical planning, good primary stability, a sufficient healing period, and detailed postoperative instructions are all factors that play a vital role in the success of dental implant surgery and osseointegration. Aging, changing health conditions, wear and tear, and inadequate professional maintenance are important variables influencing prognosis.

Some hints that we can follow will avoid us many unwanted future complications.

Periodontitis among the young in a global perspective

A.M. Elamin

Zayed University, UAE

Background: Periodontal disease among children and adolescents consists of group of disease affecting the periodontium. The prevalence of marked periodontal destruction is low in young individuals. Although periodontitis is more common among adults, however, it can be presented with aggressive types. Periodontal diseases in young individuals can develop as a consequence of a local or a systemic factor.

Aims and Objectives: the aim of this presentation is to give a global overview of periodontitis among children and adolescents

Materials and Methods: Reviewing literature related to periodontics children and adolescents

Conclusion: Global prevalence of periodontitis in the young remains elusive, because of an overall dearth of studies reporting comparable estimates.

Lack of uniformity in study design, disease classification and diagnostic criteria of periodontitis in young age cohorts, perplex the task of performing global comparisons

Biography:
Elamin is an assistant professor at Zayed University, United Arab Emirates. She earned her Bachelor of Dental Surgery (BDS) from Khartoum University, Sudan. Dr. Elamin obtained her PhD from Section for Microbiology and Immunology, The Gade Institute, University of Bergen, Norway. Dr. Elaminʼs research mainly focuses on the microbial etiology of aggressive periodontitis, specificallyintra-species phylogenetic differences and virulent clones of Aggregatibacteractinomycetemcomitans associated with the aggressive periodontitis. In addition she is interested in bacterial-viral interactions in oral cavity. Her main research interest is childrenʼs and adolescents oral health. Mainly examining the etiology of aggressive periodontitis and intra-species phylogenetic differences and identify virulent pathogenic clones of Aggregatibacteractinomycetemcomitans associated with the disease. Dr. Elamin is also interested in pre-school oral health and associating it to dietry habits and parenting styles.

Orthodontic treatment of anterior open bite in adults

Nadine El Hajj Yaacoub

Orthodontist, UAE

Open bite is defined as the absence of vertical overlap between the upper and lower incisors. The combination of skeletal, dental and functional factors contributes powerfully to its establishment and aggravation. The key to orthodontic treatment of anterior open bite starts with an accurate diagnosis of the discrepancy. Treatment can start at early ages with an interceptive phase that can help preventingmaxillo-facial surgery, which has been considered for a long time the most effective treatment to correcting open bite cases in adults. However, due to its many limitations and the arise of new technologies, such as mini-implants, orthodontic treatment of moderate to severe open bite has nowadays proven itself as a pragmatic alternative to surgery. The following presentation will highlight the application of mini-implants in the treatment of anterior open bite cases in adults and will discuss its long term stability.

Basics of MIMI®-Flapless

Armin Nedjat

Champions- Implants GmbH, Germany

MIMI®-Flapless I (MF-I) stands for the Minimally Invasive Dental Implantation Method without mucoperiosteal flap reflection and periosteum detachment during surgery. Both one-piece Champions® and two-piece Champions (R)Evolution® implants can be placed, without exposure and manipulation of the implant during the prosthodontic phase.

With this method, a transmucosal drill is performed in the bone, which means through the gingiva, making an incision of the gingiva unnecessary. In most cases, the implantation is performed in just one session, and it is nearly “bloodless” and causes hardly any pain. MIMI® implantation can be performed with as little as 3 mm of horizontal bone availability (width) and 6 mm of vertical bone availability (height).

For very narrow alveolar ridges MIMI®-Flapless II (MF-II), the horizontal distraction technique, complements MF-I. With MF II, the “Triple-Layer” is widened bucco-laterally. In several steps, the buccal bone lamella, the intact periosteum above, and the “attached gingiva” are mobilized horizontally/sagittally to buccally to prepare the implant placement.

The MIMI®-Flapless method is based on current findings on bone physiology, according to which the bone does not only tolerate a certain “stimulus” and training but also needs it so that the bone remodeling can be ensured. Champions® implants can be immediately restored and in many cases immediately loaded with a final prosthodontic restoration. In addition, immediate implantation (i.e. extraction and implantation in one session) is often recommended.
