The need for orthodontic treatment modalities that provide maximal anchorage control but with minimal patient compliance requirements has led to the development of implant-assisted orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics. Skeletal anchorage with miniscrew implants has no patient compliance requirements and has been widely incorporated in orthodontic practice. Miniscrew implants are now routinely used as anchorage devices in orthodontic treatment. This review summarizes recent data regarding the interpretation of bone data (i.e., bone quantity and quality) obtained by preoperative diagnostic computed tomography (CT) or by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) prior to miniscrew implant placement. Such data are essential when selecting appropriate sites for miniscrew implant placement. Bone characteristics that are indications and contraindications for treatment with miniscrew implants are discussed. Additionally, bicortical orthodontic skeletal anchorage, risks associated with miniscrew implant failure, and miniscrew implants for nonsurgical correction of occlusal cant or vertical excess are reviewed. Finally, implant stability is compared between titanium alloy and stainless steel miniscrew implants.
Contemporary orthodontics has entered its sixth edition. It has been extensively revised by world-renowned orthodontic scholars led by William Proffit, with the main aim to provide an up to date overview of orthodontics accessible to all.
Overall, this new edition presents as an impressive holistic book, covering all key topics within the field of orthodontics in great detail. The book tailors to a wide audience, whether that be a study guide or a reference guide for dental students, practitioners and specialists. It is a valuable addition to anyone working, or aspiring to work, within orthodontics.
Aims and ScopeThe journal publishes high-quality research work in all fields of preclinical, clinical, and experimental orthodontics and orofacial orthopedics including original studies, case reports, reviews, and short communications with a major focus on successful diagnostic procedures, imaging techniques, bracket, and archwire materials, extraction, and impaction concerns, orthognathic surgery, TMJ disorders, removable appliances, and adult therapy. The scope of the journal also includes dentofacial orthopedics, dental materials, orthodontic-periodontal problems, orthognathic surgeries, post orthodontic restorations, and plastic surgery.
Originally from New Bern, North Carolina, Dr. Land and his wife Liz have owned a home in St. Croix since 2009. After receiving a Bachelor of Science degree from North Carolina State University in 1977, he enrolled at Emory University and was awarded a Doctor of Dental Surgery in 1982. He then spent two years specializing in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, receiving his orthodontic certificate from the University of Pennsylvania in 1984.In 2000, Dr. Land was awarded the highest designation in orthodontics: a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. This distinction is held by only 20% of orthodontists in the United States. Dr. Land began sharing his expertise with the next generation of orthodontists in 2004 when he began teaching orthodontic resident students at the University of North Carolina School of Dentistry as an Adjunct Professor.
Goals are to provide excellent education in the specialty of orthodontics, provide high-quality clinical care, and conduct research designed to advance knowledge of the specialty. The curriculum reflects this mission and provides residents with necessary knowledge and experience to enter the specialty well prepared for practice. The curriculum is based upon a solid foundation of scientific principles and methods that residents may use as a rational framework for understanding treatment and evaluating future changes. The application of basic and clinical scientific knowledge to the practice of orthodontics is the fundamental tenet of the curriculum. Successful completion of the program enables graduates to participate in the American Board of Orthodontics certifying examination.
The curriculum for the Orthodontic Program is designed to be taught on the postdoctoral level. The path of study followed by the residents comprises a core curriculum of graduate level basic sciences followed by a broad course of study in craniofacial biology, clinical sciences, and orthodontic techniques. A significant portion of the curriculum is devoted to clinical orthodontics, allowing the resident to attain proficiency developed through a broad and diverse experience in patient care. Conferences involving growth and development, dental statistics, occlusion and malocclusion, development of the dentition, dentofacial abnormalities, biomechanical orthodontics, genetics, bone biology, cephalometrics, diagnosis and treatment planning, evidence-based care, oral physiology, surgical orthodontics, practice management, and orthodontic technique provides an excellent foundation in the basic and clinical sciences. Orthodontic conferences and literature review sessions provide opportunities for critical analysis of historical and current literature, with application to contemporary orthodontic principles in case diagnosis and treatment planning. 59ce067264
