Oral Health and Maxillofacial Surgery

I believe that, an orthodontist is not only a specialist dentist; he must have knowledge and interest in art, as dentistry is not about teeth treatment but also aesthetic of the face. In some clinical cases, in our daily practice we might face bone deficiency to replace missing teeth with dental implants instead of doing second surgery and bone augmentation. We can be more conservative depending on orthodontic means such as; extrusion of hopeless teeth, in other cases, can be used in mini implants to adjust the complicated orthodontic cases and surgical cases such as skeletal open bite or interocclusal space deficiency. This lecture is for all the implantologists, orthodontists and general practitioners. In this lecture, I will talk about clinical cases to show the interrelation between ortho, implant, aesthetic dentistry and aesthetic medicine for solving clinical cases with no surgery. It’s for specialist dentist and general practitioner. Cases in the lecture will cover: 1) Extrusion of hopeless

anterior centrals to correct bone level before replacing them with dental implant instead of bone augmentation; 2) to gain more interocclussal space by intrusion of opposite posterior teeth; 3) to correct skeletal open bite by using mini implant instead of orthognathic surgery; 4) using mini implant to align tilted teeth to provide space for implant or bridge and 5) gum smile

treatment by mini implant and Botox beside some cases about aesthetic dentistry.
