About this Course
Treatment of adult orthodontic patients often necessitate the expertise from other specialties.
The first speaker will present an adult patient with a skeletal malocclusion together with a history of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) problem. The use of Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) and intraoral OSA appliances provide temporary relief of OSA symptoms.
The use of Maxillomandibular Advancement (MMA) procedure is a definitive treatment for adult patients with OSA problem. How much do we know about this treatment modality and when is this
procedure indicated for adult OSA patients?
The second speaker will present an adult patient with moderate crowding together with transverse deficiency. Orthodontic expansion in the lower arch is limited. The use of Periodontal Accelerated
Osteogenic Orthodontic procedure can allow mandibular teeth to move beyond the basal bone.

surgical procedure accelerate orthodontic tooth movement?
