Abstract
More and more patients - especially adults - are offered complex multidisciplinary treatment. Is such complicated, repetitive long term therapy always necessary? Where is the boundary between correct treatment and ``overtreatment``? During the lecture the menagement algorithms in patients with hipodontia, tissue defects will be presented as well as changes, which can be achieved in macro and micro aesthetics with a special emphasis on orthodontic, periodontal, implantological and prostehtic treatment.

Abstract
Orthodontic treatment of Class II malocclusion in terms of maxillary molar distalization can be very challenging by the use of conventional modalities, especially in patients with poor compliance. In these cases, noncompliance approaches can be used, however with a number of unwanted side effects, which diminish their clinical effectiveness. Miniscrew implants, can be used as temporary anchorage devices (TADs) to enhance anchorage and, if properly used, to counterbalance these shortcomings. This lecture will present through various clinical examples the basic principles and the rationale of noncompliance maxillary molar distalization, and will discuss the latest evidence-based data available regarding the effectiveness of the use miniscrew implants as temporary anchorage devices not only to support maxillary molar distalization, but the comprehensive treatment of Class II malocclusion as well.
Learning objectives
• Demonstrate the use of miniscrew implants to distalise maxillary molars.
• Understand the biomechanics and to be aware about the advantages and potential complications of the different distalization systems that are supported by mini-implant anchorage
• Evaluate in an evidence-based manner the efficiently the different distalization systems that are supported by mini-implant anchorage

Abstract
Our daily clinical practice of orthodontics is always full of many challenges. The benefits of maximum dentofacial esthetics, of optimal function, of providing health of the teeth and surrounding tissues, as well as facilitating long-term stability of the teeth will depend on certain factors that, unfortunately, have been ignored.
These factors will be discussed.

The 3D Airway and How to Manage OSA in a busy Orthodontic Office
Biography
Dr. J. Martin Palomo is a tenured professor and the Orthodontic Residency director at Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio. Dr. Palomo’s contributions to craniofacial imaging, informatics, and airway analysis have been recognized through medical and dental research awards, national and international presentations, and numerous peer-reviewed publications. He is the past chair of the AAO Committee on Technology, member of the AAO Council on Scientific Affairs, member of the AAO Foundation Planning Awards Committee, the AAO representative for Image Gently, member of the AAO Committee on Conferences and the Associate Editor for the Digital Orthodontics section of the AJODO. He is also a member of the AAO Task Force that provided a white paper on the orthodontist role on treating patients with Sleep Apnea. He is a board certified orthodontist, an Angle Society member, and an active member of both the Orthodontics and the Oral and Maxillofacial Radiology Associations, as well as the American Academy of Sleep Medicine.
Abstract
Traditionally we are trained to see and analyze the airway from only the lateral view on a cephalometric film. But the airway is a three-dimensional (3D) structure, and that third dimension may be hiding something relevant to our diagnosis. This presentation will highlight some of the airway research from Case Western Reserve University, and will show how different commercially available programs can be used to analyze the airway volumetrically, how the airway is different for different craniofacial situations, and what happens to the airway when we extract or expand as part of our treatment plan. With more than 80 respiratory disorders, the orthodontist can play a big role helping children and adults, specially regarding Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA). This presentation will show how the orthodontist can help identify and manage OSA in pediatric and adult patients, from using oral appliances, to surgical movement of the jaws, and newest hypoglossal stimulation methods. When moving from 2D to 3D, distances and angles turn into areas and volumes, and understanding the airway may take orthodontics to the next level, increasing the scope of what can be done clinically.

Abstract
A successful orthodontist must understand the patient's expectations and meet his/her needs while respecting roles, ethics and deontology.
When a patient comes to an orthodontic office, the practitioner makes a diagnosis, draws up a problem list and develops the ideal treatment plan and possible compromise treatment plans that he/she exposes to the patient trying to understand the patient's requests and needs to agree on the optimal therapy for that particular patient; often the chosen plan is one of the compromise treatment plans.
Compromise treatment plans will be presented and it will be explained how they came to be formulated in agreement with the patient, the techniques implemented will then be presented underlining how these must be chosen to obtain the maximum benefit of the patient.

Abstract
The effects of oral health and diseases related to it, the appearance of teeth, malocclusion and treatment of such anomalies on emotional, mental and social health of patients have been the focus of attention of clinicians and researchers all over the world during the last decades.
Malocclusion is considered a public health problem, due to its high prevalence in the society. Although it is not considered a disease, the disorder requires orthodontic treatment because it may increase the subject’s susceptibility to develop diseases such as periodontitis and trauma, and also affects oral functions, making it difficult to chew, swallow, and speak. Orthodontic treatment aims at oral health and restoration of function as objectives, however, psychological and social effects end up being the main reason for the demand for treatment.
Scientific evidence has shown that malocclusion can have a negative effect on the oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL). A study was performed in Tirana aiming to evaluate the effect of orthodontic treatment on quality of life in patients aged 17-21 years old. An OHIP-14 (Oral Health Impact Profile-14) questionnaire, which is the most valid tool to evaluate OHQoL in all the age groups, was filled out from the participants before the orthodontic treatment and 12 months after the orthodontic treatment. Significant differences were found comparing OHIP-14 score at the beginning and at the end of the treatment. Differences were found between genders as well. The correlation between OHIP and IOTN was also evaluated. During this lecture we will compare our finding with similar studies by other authors.
The need for orthodontic treatment is related to OHQoL, but it is not necessarily related to clinical criteria, because clinical criteria reflect objectively only the severity of the problem and orthodontic treatment, compared to other dental treatments, is much more greatly under the influence of social and emotional factors. Health is something beyond the boundaries of clinical dimensions and social and emotional aspects should be incorporated in it. Therefore, it is necessary that clinical criteria be replaced by OHQoL tools to evaluate patient need for orthodontic treatment.

Abstract
The MARA has been published and estabilished as fixed functional class II correction appilance. It can be used durning active orthodontic treatment, together with brackets, TLB and even as anchorage within certain mechanics (medialization of lower molars, e.g.).
In this presentation, we will show that the MARA is an efficacious fixed functional in TMD patients (mandibular growth, condylar remodeling) and also as treatment modality in patients with decreased diameter of Posterior Airway Space (e.g. sleep apnea patients).
In our pilot study, we show that MARA can increase sagittal PAS dimensions in children and adolescents.

He is a member of European Orthodontic Society, Anthropological Society of Serbia, member of council of Serbian Orthodontic Society, member of council of Balkan Association of Orthodontic Specialists.
At the moment he performs a function of president of BAOS.
Abstract
Generally, the main benefits of orthodontic treatment are improvement of facial and dental aesthetics. Still orthodontic tooth movement is mostly periodontal phenomenon. That’s why as clinicians we need to be interested in periodontal health too.
Therapy using fixed orthodontic appliances requires a lot of time. Because of decreased possibility to chew hard and to perform good oral hygiene gingival inflammation is often seen in the patients, but this is just one part of the story.
Are there correlations between malocclusions and periodontal condition and could malocclusions be a risk for periodontal diseases? Can orthodontic treatment serve as an adjunct to periodontal treatment procedures to improve oral health in some situations?
Various orthodontic tooth movements like intrusion, rotation, and uprighting must be used based on precise diagnosis that includes periodontal diagnosis and detection of all possible periodontal risks.
This lecture is an attempt to emphasize the importance of orthodontic treatment in function of periodontal health through review of clinical cases.

Dental Problems and Treatment Approaches in Individuals with Cleft Lip and Palate
Biography
Dr. Ayşe Tuba Altuğ graduated from University of Ankara, School of Dentistry in 1995 and she is still a faculty member at the same university’s Orthodontics Department. She is working as the Head of Orthodontics Department. She also graduated from the Surgical Orthodontic Research Fellowship program of New York University Medical Center Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery in 2001. Her clinical and research interests are mainly focused on; cleft lip and palate, genetics, craniofacial abnormalities, head and neck syndromes and orthognathic surgery. She was the President of the Turkish Orthodontic Society between 2018-April 2021. She is married and has two children.
Abstract
Non-syndromic complete cleft lip and palate deformity is primarily functional, then esthetic and, finally but not least importantly, a dental challenge. Feeding and facial appearance carries importance during the first years of a newborn. Nutrition is universally provided by “passive feeding plates”. If the Cleft Team prefers to use “active plates”, alveolar molding combined with nasal approaches in infants is the best method to improve esthetics so far. Orthodontists are predominantly responsible in achieving both of these goals. After those difficulties have been met in early days of the life, we, as dentists/orthodontists, are left alone with most of their treatment during the rest of their lives. Therefore, this lecture is an overview of dental and orthopedic challenges that a cleft patient and an orthodontist face with during cleft care.

Abstract
Developmental dislocation of permanent teeth often results in tooth impaction requiring surgical and early orthodontic treatment to prevent the risk of root resorption and developmental disturbances of the dentition. Focusing to obtain a perfect treatment results, and a simultaneously short treatment time, it is very important to understand both the craniofacial morphology and craniofacial growth. Scientific assessment in orthodontic care aims to identify diagnostic tools and appliances that offer the greatest benefits for the patients in the most effective way. The link from biology to treatment plan and treatment results should be considered for every case. The panoramic radiographs could be a convenient diagnostic tool for early recognition of this condition and treatment planning in those cases. Early diagnosis and the early start of treatment using the natural forces of eruption allow the prevention of more complicated malocclusions. In orthodontic therapeutic purposes, from the planned extraction of decidous and/or permanent teeth in gaiding the occlusion purposes, through the early detection of implications and possibilities for prevention of complications, it is necessary to make adequate diagnosis, principles and cooperation of the orthodontist, oral surgen and of course the patient.

Abstract
Parental influence, impaired emotional well-being, and the severity of malocclusion are the main factors prompting preadolescents and adolescents to demand orthodontic treatment, with parental influence being strong in preadolescent, but not in adolescent age. However, treatment success depends on many factors. One of the most essential aspects for orthodontic treatment success, especially when removable appliances are used, is patient compliance. Lack of cooperation may result in prolonged treatment time, suboptimal treatment results, and treatment cessation. The lecture is based on our research and will address reasons for seeking orthodontic treatment, factors related to compliance during treatment with removable functional appliances during puberty as well as clinical, psychosocial and functional outcomes. The focus will be on emotional well-being, social well-being, oral symptoms, functional limitations, parental emotions, family activities, family conflicts, and financial burden.

Abstract
Our daily clinical practice of orthodontics is always full of many challenges. The benefits of maximum dentofacial esthetics, of optimal function, of providing health of the teeth and surrounding tissues, as well as facilitating long-term stability of the teeth will depend on certain factors that, unfortunately, have been ignored.
These factors will be discussed.

She has published and presented numerous scientific papers, authored a monograph, co-authored four chapters in two international books on 3D craniofacial imaging, and several chapters in three books published by the University of Belgrade. She is a reviewer in seven scientific journals.
Abstract
Evidence-based orthodontics has gained popularity over the past 20 years and has become an essential part of orthodontic practice and education. Even though there are numerous orthodontic journals that publish an abundance of papers each year we still lack certain guidelines due to inadequate evidence. Moreover, residents are not always taught how to properly read papers and find the information they are looking for.
In the first part of this lecture, there would be a short introduction on what clinicians should pay attention to when reading the paper in order to gather as much information as possible. In the second part, several relevant up-to-date topics will be discussed in the light of the currently available literature, like congenitally missing lateral incisors, clear alignment treatment, patient compliance with removable appliances, use of CBCT, etc.

Abstract
Young patients with Class III malocclusion have always been a challenge for clinicians concerning adequate diagnosis, treatment plan and prognosis. This type of malocclusion involves a number of skeletal, dental and even functional components. Depending on malocclusion origin different treatment protocols are recommended, from delaying orthodontic treatment by orthognathic surgery until after the end of growth to maxillary protraction in early mixed dentition.
Considering these topics, the aim of this lecture will be to describe and discuss the treatment options for Class III malocclusion in young patients with an emphasis on maxillary protraction. Protraction facemask therapy has been advocated in early treatment of Class III malocclusions with maxillary deficiency. Even though dental and skeletal effects of this appliance are well documented in the literature, clinicians are sometimes reluctant to provide early orthopedic treatment due to inability to predict mandibular growth. These patients might still need surgical treatment at the end of the growth period, even after receiving early orthopedic treatment. In this lecture the following topics will be discussed: Is it worth the burden to treat a Class III malocclusion early? If so, what type of Class III malocclusions will benefit from early facemask treatment? When is the best time to start treatment? Can early treatment help to predict excessive mandibular growth?
It seems that the most important factor for treatment of Class III malocclusion in growing patient is case selection. The clinical treatment results showed that it is possible to achieve favorable outcomes with early management in certain Class III malocclusion patients.

Abstract
Orthodontic mini-implants are widely accepted in modern orthodontic practice. The main role of orthodontic mini-implants is to provide a temporary skeletal anchorage. The most important aspect of any orthodontic treatment is the maximum desired movement (tooth, jaw) with minimal unwanted side effects. There are two basic forms of absolute anchorage: direct (when the active segment is produced directly from the mini-implant) and indirect (when the active segment is produced from the reactive segment that is fixed to the mini-implant to strengthen the anchorage). The main purpose of using mini-implants lies in the fact that they represent an absolute - skeletal anchorage. For that reason, there are numerous indications for their use for both dental and skeletal movements, especially in complicated cases, as well as in cases of possible loss of anchorage and disabling the most favorable result of orthodontic therapy. Using mini-implants as a skeletal anchorage, movements of many teeth, which previously seemed almost impossible, became feasible. Likewise, unwanted tooth movements can be minimized. Their small size allows them to be inserted in different places. Mini-implants for reinforcement are most often placed in the buccal interdental alveolar bone which allows the orthodontist to use them for different mechanics in everyday practice. Although the skeletal anchorage with mini-implants gives freedom in designing the force system and overcomes the problems of patient cooperation, the anatomical limits of tooth movement should always be taken into account. The skeletal support with mini implants should be planned based on the assessment of the required force systems and anatomical limits of the tooth movement.
