Targeted Alveoloplasty: A Paradigm Shift in Orthodontic Management of Assumed Ankylosed Ectopic Teeth
Speaker: Professor Shakeel Shahdad
Date: Monday 18th November 2024, 7.30pm UK time
This presentation will delve into the innovative concept of Targeted Alveoloplasty (TA), a pioneering approach designed to transform the orthodontic treatment of ectopic teeth that have failed to erupt despite prolonged orthodontic traction. By presenting a series of cases, this presentation aims to illuminate the significance of TA in effectively managing these challenging clinical cases. The attendees will gain in-depth insights into the clinical steps essential for achieving successful tooth alignment, alongside the technique's risks and benefits.
Aim: to introduce the Targeted Alveoloplasty concept with a selection of case examples
Objectives:
- To appreciate the relevance of the technique in the management of ectopic teeth that are deemed to be ankylosed.
- To gain knowledge of the clinical steps involved to maximise the success of tooth alignment.
- To understand the risks and benefits of TA.
- To identify a clinical workflow that can be implemented as a standard protocol.
