Overview:
In recent years a great deal of misinformation has been presented in the name of continuing education in orthodontics. Mis-representation of credentials, as well as empirical or anecdotal support for clinical procedures, without any biological basis, have been used to promote orthodontic procedures to the general or pediatric dentist incorporating orthodontics into their practices. It is time to hear the facts! If you are presently practicing orthodontics or intend to incorporate orthodontics into your practice, you owe it to yourself and your patients to find out the truth and separate "fact from fiction". This course does just that in the controversial topic of whether we should extract premolars to make space in Orthodontics.
Educational Objectives:
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to achieve the following:
• Does orthodontic treatment with bicuspid extractions have a negative effect on facial balance?
• Does orthodontic treatment with bicuspid extractions cause unacceptable smile esthetics?
• Does orthodontic treatment have any correlation to tempero-mandibular joint dysfunction?
