DR. HERBERT I. MARGOLIS LECTURESHIP – Miniplate Anchorage for Midface Protraction in Class III Patients and Molar Distalization in Class II Cases
Boston, MA •Friday, November 20, 2015 • 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.
TUSDM is proud to host Dr. Hugo De Clerck as this year’s speaker as part of the annual Herbert I. Margolis Lectureship series. Dr. De Clerk’s lecture will address miniplate anchorage, molar distilization and biomechanical dynamics.

Program Agenda
The surgical procedure will be discussed in detail, in terms of selecting the best location for inserting the miniplates and screws, which type of miniplate to choose, the incision of the soft tissues, instructions for the patients, initial orthopedic loading, how to deal with complications and how to prevent them.
Lecture 1: Class II malocclusion without extractions – molar distalization with sliding mechanics: tooth by tooth or ‘en masse’ movement.
Lecture 2: Class II malocclusion without extractions: an alternative for orthognathic surgery?Surgical procedure for Bollard miniplate insertions and how to deal with complications.
Lecture 3: Class III orthopedics: principles and orthodontic protocol.
Lecture 4: Class III orthopedics: treatment outcomes.

Course Information
The main advantage of skeletal anchorage by modified miniplates is their fixation at a distance from the dental arch. This makes them very suitable for distal movement of the complete upper arch in class II treatment without extraction of premolars. This can be done by sliding mechanics along light archwires by simultaneous ‘en masse’ retraction of small or large groups of teeth. For optimal efficiency, good control of the vertical dimension is needed.
Furthermore, miniplates resist high discontinuous forces better than miniscrews do. Therefore they can be used for intermaxillary orthopedic traction. Class III elastics can be fixed between Bollard anchors on the skeletal base of the maxilla and mandible of young growing patients. Can the growth of the maxilla and/or mandible be stimulated, restricted or redirected? Which biomechanical approach should be used? The results of this continuous pure orthopedic traction will be discussed based on a Cone-beam CT at T1 and T2, registered on the anterior cranial base. The outcome will be compared to a control group and face mask orthopedics.
