Surgical, orthodontic and restorative perspectives will be presented to challenge the team to move beyond traditional interdisciplinary therapies into a new frontier for enhanced outcomes.
- To appreciate dentoalveolar bone phenotypes and to limit associated risks using SFOT
- To review diagnostic findings and imaging modalities critical to treatment planning of the interdisciplinary patient
- To present the biology, risks/benefits and execution of SFOT in advanced interdisciplinary cases from a surgical, orthodontic, and restorative perspective
- To discuss SFOT to optimize the position of teeth for facial esthetics and function in the skeletally mature patient with “grey zone” malocclusions
