1. Clinical use of low intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) in predicted orthodontics
Learning objectives
a. This presentation will show how to achieve predicted orthodontic treatment results
b. The clinical use of LIPUS in orthodontic treatment
Summary: This presentation will show the evidence how utilizing LIPUS in orthodontic treatment can hep predicting orthodontic treatment results. How the planned orthodontic treatment specifically with clear aligners can be predicted and achieved using LIPUS system. The presentation with show complex orthodontic cases from diagnosis, treatment planning to the achieved results and how LIPUS can support achieving this goal. Cases that wil be presented including cases with compromised periodontal status, previously treated cases and cases with existing severe root resorption, severe crowding, class II, class III, open bite, deep bite, and multidisciplinary cases. In addition, this presentation will show how LIPUS can successfully help achieving treatment goals in cases with specific medications like mental health medications of celiac disease for example. This presentation will also cover the scientific bases of using LIPUS in orthodontic practice from discovery to clinical application.
2. Mechanism of action of LIPUS on alveolar bone remodeling and regeneration
Learning objectives:
a. The scientific bases of the effect of LIPUS on osteoblasts and osteoclasts
b. The scientific bases of the effect of LIPUS on gingival cells, cementoblasts, and odontoblasts
c. The scientific bases of the effect of LIPUS on alveolar bone remodelling during orthodontic treatment.
Summary
This presentation will go over the scientific bases of LIPUS effect on different alveolar bone cells isolated or together including cell culture cells, tooth slice organ culture, mandible slice organ culture, mice, rats, rabbits, dogs and humans. This presentation wil show the scientific evidence in the literature on how LIPUS can regenerate root resorption and how it stimulates cementoblasts to produce new cementum. Also, this presentation will show LIPUS stimulates gingival, periodontal and alveolar bone to provide the required biological responses to orthodontic tooth movement. This presentation will highlight the subcellular mechanisms in providing alveolar bone remodelling during orthodontic tooth movement.
3. LIPUS achieved safe, shorter and stable orthodontic treatment.
Learning objectives:
a. Scientific evidence on how LIPUS can achieve shorter treatment time
b. Scientific evidence on how LIPUS can achieve stable orthodontic treatment time
Summary
This presentation will show the scientific evidence of how LIPUS can achieve shorter treatment time as well as stable results after orthodontic treatment. From case reports, retrospective studies, clinical trial and systematic review data, this presentation will show how to draw conclusion about the scientific evidence of utilizing LIPUS on achieving shorter orthodontic treatment time and stable results as well.
