AngleSouthwest Annual Meeting: Local arrangements chairman, J. Moody Alexander, and Vice-President, Marvin Stephens planned an outstanding meeting. There were seven 5-year papers and one Membership Paper presented. 1. S. Ed Owens Implant Site Development and the Compromised Tooth As the dental profession moves into the 21st century, the demand for orthodontic treatment in assisting the restorative dentist is increasing, particularly in the area of esthetic dentistry. This paper will present information on the development of implant sites and gingival contouring with orthodontic appliances. Indications, contraindications and outcomes will be discussed.
2. Y. Kuroda Treatment of the non-growing skeletal openbite malocclusion : from past to present In the treatment of non-growing anterior openbite cases with high mandibular plane angle, camouflage treatment has been done at the desire of patients. Majority of these cases had been treated by palatal expansion and extraction of the four premolars. During and after treatment changes were evaluated using the cephalograms and plaster models. In addition, the treatment changes were compared with the changes of resent cases using mini screw implant . 3. D. Havener Orthodontic/Orthognathic Surgical Management for Patients with TMJ Degenerative Remodeling This presentation will discuss TMJ condylar degenerative changes evident via different joint imaging modalities; the resulting associated malocclusions; theories about etiologies of condylar degeneration; orthodontic, dental restorative and orthognathic surgical treatment strategies for managing patients with condylar degeneration. 4. Isao Koyama An Orthopedic Approach to Implant Anchorage The recent advent of implant anchorage has allowed precise tooth movement to expand the scope of orthodontic treatment and simplify treatment procedures. The next step in the evolution of implant orthodontics would be an orthopedic approach. A plate-type implant in the zygomatic area, expose one end of the implant to the oral cavity, and apply retraction forces from the zygomatic anchorage unit to the maxillary edgewise appliance. A case treated to favorable results using this approach will be introduced. 5. H. Arimoto (membership paper) The Concept of Anti-Aging Orthodontic Treatment.
The purpose of this paper is to review the aging change of tooth position, periodontal tissues and enamel structure, and to discuss about anti-aging orthodontic strategy from this point of view showing several cases.
6. W. Murphey – Comparison Study of Three Cephalometric Axes of Chin Growth A longitudinal study of orthodontic age subjects uses digitized points from cephalometric tracings from the University of Montreal, Canada to compare angular and linear changes in chin position. The study compares the “Y Axis”, Ricketts’ Facial Axis , and PJM, a new axis. Variations in the measurements are evaluated statistically as well as correlations and regression expressions to compare the practical use of each axis for forecasting and evaluating chin growth amount and direction. 7. J. Pearson Nickel Titanium Wires: Use and Cost Titanium archwires occupy an ever increasing role in orthodontics. Manufacturers have encouraged orthodontists to use the “most advanced” and most expensive archwires to aid treatment, but have orthodontists made rational choices based on cost and performance?
8. G. Schudy The Versatile Utility Arch The Utility Arch popularized by Dr. Ricketts has been primarily used for intrusion and anchorage. This presentation will investigate and demonstrate less common, but significant, uses of this arch. In addition to the above papers, two first time guests presented cases for Affiliate Membership:
