Admission by badge and ticket only. This unique program discusses current concepts in the prevention and management of traumatized primary and permanent teeth in pediatric patients. Diagnostic techniques and treatment guidelines for speciﬁc types of trauma are discussed. The types of trauma include fractures, luxations and avulsions. Also reviewed are the orthodontic management of traumatic injuries and the short and long-term outcomes of various treatments. Learn: • prevention of dental trauma • diagnostics used in trauma management • most current treatment guidelines for dental trauma Dental Trauma in the Pediatric Patient Presiding: Elliott M. Moskowitz, D.D.S., M.Sd., New York, NY Past President, New York County Dental Society Roberto Justus, D.D.S., M.S.D. Mexico City, Mexico Dipl., Amer.

This can mean better care for our patients and less stress for the practitioner. Todays presentation focuses on specialized products, technology and techniques that deliver quality dental care for children in the least traumatic way. Topics include: caries disinfection, interim restorative care, sensory adaptive environments and behavior management. Learn: • caries disinfection technique • new products for pediatric dentistry • advanced restorative techniques for children Emerging Concepts, Technology and Techniques in Pediatric Dentistry There is a considerable controversy among orthodontists about the timing of orthodontic treatment to correct Class II malocclusions with large overjets. Those who promote early treatment In the mixed dentition claim to have better results, even though a second phase of treatment may be required. Other orthodontists prefer to initiate treatment in the late mixed dentition with the belief that they can achieve equally good clinical results in a single phase. Emphasis is made on early treatment to achieve lip competence, prevent incisor fractures, diminish the need for extraction of permanent teeth and minimize the possibility of external apical root resorption. Learn: • why early/timely Class II treatment helps to prevent incisor trauma, avoid its long-term consequences and minimize external apical root resorption • why combination headgear is superior to functional appliances in correcting severe Class II, Div I malocclusions • why its advantageous to utilize the three growth accelerations that occur in growing patients rather than just the adolescent growth acceleration • why differential growth is the key to long-term stability • why children’s compliance is better than adolescent’s as documented by timing devices Why the Current Evidence-Based Information About Early Treatment for Class II Div I Malocclusions Might Not Be Applicable for Children with Large Overjets 142
