The orthodontic treatment of patients who have disorders of the temporomandibular joint is always difficult because the changes in occlusion are influenced by the unstable position of the condyles.
This characteristic determines the lack of precise criteria that allow a proper orthodontic diagnosis, so that a reliable treatment plan can be established.
This presentation reports on the principles of treatment of patients with TMD. A stabilizing splint should be used before any active orthodontic movement of the teeth to stabilize the condylar position.
Once the condylar position is stabilized after splint therapy, functional occlusion and facial aesthetics are resolved by orthodontic treatment with appropriate orthodontic mechanics.

Biography
Dr. Ioan "Johnny" Barbur graduated as a dental technician in 2000 and later worked in the Department of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics at the Iuliu Hațieganu University of Medicine and Pharmacy in Cluj-Napoca, Romania.
In 2006, he earned his degree in Dentistry and later became a specialist in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopaedics, as well as in Dentoalveolar Surgery. He also holds a PhD in Medical Sciences.
Since 2008, he has been an Assistant Professor at the University of Cluj-Napoca, in the Maxillofacial Surgery and Implantology Department, collaborating on interdisciplinary cases, including the treatment of cleft lip and palate as well as orthognathic surgery.
In 2009, he co-founded OrtoLife, a clinic dedicated exclusively to orthodontics in Cluj-Napoca, Romania, together with Dr. Adina Barbur. Together, they also conduct specialised courses within the SynergyO Academy.
He has a strong interest in digital innovations, a holistic approach to patient care, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pathology. He has studied multiple philosophies in this field, including the FACE course, the Vienna School on Interdisciplinary Dentistry under the Slavicek Foundation, and Mariano Rocabado’s Masterclass on TMD.
Dr. Barbur is a member of AREO, SIDO, AAO, EOS, WFO, and EAS.

Design and Planning of Skeletally Anchored Devices
Workshop Ioan [Johnny] Barbur (Romania) , Adrian Roman (Romania) Hotel Ramada, Sala NEW YORK
This workshop, dedicated to orthodontists, aims to explore innovations in the design and planning of skeletally anchored devices. Interactive sessions will address the fundamental principles of clinical evaluation and anchorage technique selection, emphasizing the integration of modern technologies and digital planning methodologies. Participants will have the opportunity to become familiar with:
• Clinical case analysis: Presenting case studies illustrating the practical application of skeletally anchored devices in complex orthodontic situations.
• Digital planning: Using digital tools to simulate treatment and optimize device positioning.
• Innovative strategies: Discussions on recent developments in the field and how they can improve clinical outcomes, reducing treatment time and maximizing patient satisfaction.
Through this workshop, the goal is to consolidate theoretical knowledge and develop practical skills, enabling participants to successfully apply design and planning concepts in their daily practice. In conclusion, the event offers an opportunity for collaborative learning and knowledge sharing, contributing to the continuous improvement of modern orthodontic techniques.
