MCDS RDSC

WEDNESDAY, October 4, 2023

ZOOM 6:00 pm until 8:00 pm – 2 MCE Credits

Log-in begins at 5:45 pm •• You must be on for the entire meeting to receive MCE credits.

Session Description:
The recognition of problems of dental and/or skeletal development in young children (ages 7 – 10) can provide opportunities for correction that might not always present themselves at later ages or may not have as great of a chance for success. Recognition of normal functional, dental, and skeletal development helps the clinician to recognize deviations in form and function therefore allowing them to provide appropriate treatment options and referral at the most opportune time. Evidence based diagnostic criteria and treatment options for the most common orthodontic problems of dental, skeletal and functional problems will be presented.

Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this course, participants should be able to:
1) Recognize normal dental and skeletal development of children in the developing mixed dentition (ages 7 – 10)
2) Recognize crowding of the dental arches/lack of room for developing and erupting teeth; borderline extraction cases and treatment options for early arch development for teeth to be able to erupt into attached gingiva versus oral mucosa
3) Recognize crossbite with accompanying functional mandibular shift, its impact on the development of condylar and facial asymmetry as well as the importance of early correction to help the normalization of facial growth and symmetry
4) Recognize developing Class III skeletal MA relationships / underbites and early treatment options that may lessen the need for future surgical intervention or make it more predictable and stable
5) Recognize Class II skeletal and dental MA relationships with special consideration of excess overjet and its relationship to maxillary incisor trauma.
6) Be able to understand the outcomes of prospective studies conducted on two- phase treatment of Class II patients treated with a phase of Early Orthodontic Treatment vs. those treated with a single phase of treatment after exfoliation of all deciduous teeth as related to efficiency of Class II treatment. Be able to balance that evidence with the impact on increased risk of maxillary incisor trauma in patients with excess overjet and the reduction of trauma risk that is provided by early orthodontic treatment to correct excess overjet
7) Recognize open bite and excessive vertical facial growth and development with special consideration of oral mode of respiration (mouth breathing); sleep disorder breathing and orthodontic management of airway development.
8) Be able to discuss the importance of incorporation of early palatal expansion as a treatment modality for gaining room for eruption of teeth in the presence of dental crowding, reduction of overjet in Class II relationships, in conjunction with facemask use for early Class III correction, as well for correction of posterior cross bite
