Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy (SFOT). An interdisciplinary approach (Jul 06, 2020 - Jul 31, 2023)

Surgically Facilitated Orthodontic Therapy (SFOT). An interdisciplinary approach is organized by Dental Learning Systems, LLC.

Start Date: Jul 06, 2020
Expire Date: Jul 31, 2023

Description:
Patients that want more ideal facial esthetics and function, may choose to have the interdisciplinary team utilize SFOT to alter the dentoalveolar bone and optimally position the roots of the teeth for the patient's face. 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.

Learning Objectives:
• 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

Additional details will be posted as soon as information is available.
