Eric LIOU, DDS, MSDr. Eric Liou is an associate professor and the chairman of the Faculty of Dentistry, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital & Chang Gung University, Taipei, Taiwan. He is also a visiting professor in the Department of Orthodontics, Showa University, Tokyo, Japan. For the professional affiliations, Dr. Liou is currently president of the Taiwan association of Orthodontists, and president of the World Implant Orthodontic Association. His main research interests are distraction osteogenesis, TADs, orthodontic tooth movement, platelet rich plasma, and bone physiology. Dr. Liou has numerous publications and presentations, specifically on the topics of accelerated orthodontic tooth movement, maxillary orthopedic protraction, surgery first accelerated orthognathic surgery, and TADs.

David MIRABELLA, DDS, MSDAfter graduating with a degree in Dentistry in 1989 from the University of Catania, Dr. Mirabella was grateful to be accepted into one of the United States’ most prestigious orthodontic programs at the University of Washington. After earning the American title of Specialist in Orthodontics and Master of Science in Dentistry in 1993, he returned to the beautiful city of Catania to begin his career in orthodontics. Dr. Mirabella currently shares his orthodontic knowledge by teaching at the School of Specialization in Orthodontics at the University of Ferrara, directed by Professor G. Siciliani, while also holding conferences in Italy and abroad.

Ravindra NANDA, BDS, MDS, PhDDr. Ravindra Nanda currently serves as UConn Alumni Endowed Chair, and Professor and Head of the Department of Craniofacial Sciences and Chair of division of Orthodontics, University of Connecticut, Farmington, Connecticut, U.S.A. He received his dental training from Lucknow University, India in 1964. He received his orthodontic training first at Lucknow, India and then from Nymegen, The Netherlands and the University of Connecticut. He also received a Ph.D. from the University of Nymegen in 1969. Dr. Nanda has been author and co-author of five orthodontic books and more than two hundred scientific and clinical articles in major journals. He is an active member of various organizations, including the American Association of Orthodontists, European Orthodontic Society and Edward H. Angle Society. Dr. Nanda is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics. He has given numerous named lectures at national and international societies and has been recognized with various awards from numerous international orthodontic organizations.

Junjii SUGAWARA, DDS, PhDDr. Junji Sugswara is currently a Director at the SAS Orthodontic Centre, Ichiban-cho Dental Office, Sendai, Japan, and a Visiting Clinical Professor at the Division of Orthodontics, School of Dental Medicine, University of Connecticut, Farmington, USA. He graduated from Tohoku University, Sendai, Japan in 1973 and worked there for over 30 years. He is an active member of the Edward H. Angle Society (North Atlantic Component) since 2004. The Skeletal Anchorage System (SAS) utilizing the titanium miniplates as temporary anchorage devices and Surgery First are recent key interests and he has given many lectures on these subjects in the United States, Europe, South American, Australia, Middle East and Asia.

The basic foundation for surgery first accelerated surgical orthodontics:A treatable postoperative malocclusionIn contrast to conventional surgical orthodontics, the surgery first accelerated surgical orthodontics is a treatment needs that orthognathic surgery to transform an orthodontically untreatable malocclusion into a treatable malocclusion. It is best indicated in patients who do not need pre-surgical orthodontic decompensation, such as cases with no/mild anterior crowding, flat/mild curve of spee, no/mild protrusive/retroclined anterior teeth, and no facial asymmetry. However the approach of surgery-first accelerated orthognathic surgery becomes more difficult and complex when the dental problems are complicated, such as cases with severe anterior crowding, protrusion, retrusion, posterior cross bite, deep curve of spee, and facial asymmetry in Class II and III malocclusion. The general strategy is to use osteotomy, such as multiple segmental osteotomy, to correct both the skeletal deformities and dental problems so that an orthodontically “treatable malocclusion” could be achieved postoperatively. Specific guidelines for surgical model setup, and orthodontic alignment, vertical, sagittal, and transverse decompensation in Class II, III, and facial asymmetry cases also will be presented and discussed in this presentation.

Orthodontic Implant Site Development: new clinical concepts and research dataThe aim of this presentation is to discuss the role of 3-D orthodontic tooth movement in generating the proper amount of soft and hard tissues for optimal implant placement, and its stability in the long-term. Clinical research data about soft and hard tissue response to orthodontic forced eruption will be presented, accurate clinical procedures will be suggested to enhance the effect of tooth movement in generating soft and hard tissue, and increasing the esthetic outcome.

Learning Objectives• Hard and soft tissue response to OISD• New clinical protocols

Surgery First - Paradigm Shift in Surgical Orthodontics -

Conventional surgical orthodontics has had limitations in skeletal deformity patients, the most serious of them being the aggravation of anterior crossbite and prognathic profile following the decompensation of the incisors during presurgical orthodontics in Class III patients. In an attempt to avert these problems but at the same time improve the quality of conventional surgical orthodontics, we have been trying a completely different approach: surgery is carried out with no presurgical orthodontics whatsoever. This new approach is now possible because of the development of a skeletal anchorage system (SAS), which uses titanium miniplates as temporary anchorage devices in postsurgical orthodontic treatment, and enables the three-dimensional movements of the posterior teeth in non-growing patients. In particular, since most of the Class III patients who underwent Surgery First show Class II open bite immediately after orthognathic surgery due to no presurgical orthodontics and occlusal interference at the molar region, distalization and intrusion of posterior teeth during postsurgical orthodontic treatment should be predictably carried out with the application of SAS. In this presentation, the up-to-date protocol of Surgery First will be discussed.
