ACDE Webinar Series
The Association for Continuing Dental Education (ACDE), along with 37 of its member schools, is jointly providing a series of live webinars. This series features university-based key opinion leaders presenting numerous topics on multiple dates and times. Presentations are available to meet every dental professional’s schedule and interests.
Course Description
This comprehensive course is designed to address common questions and concerns that general practitioner (GPs) encounter regarding interceptive orthodontics, using scientific evidence and practical treatment protocols. Through detailed discussions and case studies, participants will gain a deeper understanding of various orthodontic scenarios such as habits, management of habits, open bites, deep bites and management of crowding in the mixed dentition.
-
Upon completion of this course, participants should be able to:
- Recognize normal and abnormal growth and development patterns in the mixed dentition, and identify early signs of developing malocclusion.
- Apply evidence-based treatment protocols for interceptive management of malocclusions, including space supervision, arch length analysis, and habit-breaking appliances.
- Evaluate the timing of intervention versus referral to a specialist, recognizing situations that can be effectively managed by general practitioners and those requiring specialist care.
- Differentiate between normal self-correcting crowding in the mixed dentition and crowding that requires interceptive treatment or referral to a specialist.
-
This webinar will be held on Zoom.
