Interdisciplinary Seminars: Esthetics and Function

Catalog description

This course is an interdisciplinary seminar for orthodontic, periodontic and prosthodontic residents. In this course, residents discuss and work together to treatment plan comprehensive cases, common to each specialty and involving functional and esthetic problems. Following presentation of the case, etiologic factors, prognosis, and treatment plans are discussed by the participants. Evaluation of the treatment plan options is conducted in group discussions with faculty and residents from each discipline. Presentations are critiqued and alternative therapy discussed by residents and faculty. Residents must support their diagnoses and treatment approaches with references from the scientific literature, and compare the results of their treatment with that reported previously in clinical trials. Emphasis is placed on a comprehensive analysis and sequencing of treatment from a prosthodontic, periodontic, and orthodontic standpoint.
