Lecture:
Differential Diagnosis And Treatment Approach of Skeletal Class II
Malocclusion
Skeletal Class II malocclusion is the most common type of malocclusion. The definition
of Skeletal class II is a paraphrase of Angle classification base on cephalometrics, but
there are lack of diagnostic criteria in vertical and transversal dimension. Skeletal
Class II malocclusion exhibits various combinations owing to position of mandible
and maxilla with respect to the cranial base and also each other. Correct diagnosis and
subsequent treatment planning for management of this malocclusion is often found
to be challenging. From tremendous human evolution and growth studies, we can
conclude human skull has more growth in vertical dimension than transversal and
sagittal ones. We use 6 keys to differentiate skeletal discrepancy: 1. Sagittal difference,
2.Mandible plane angle, 3. Posterior occlusal plane, 4. Upper front teeth exposure,
5. Transversal and symmetry. 6. Masticatory muscle force. Successful treatment is
based on comprehensive diagnosis. Treatment plan need to be addressed with each
diagnosis. Cases will be demonstrated the interaction of diagnosis and treatment.

Lecture:
From Analog to Digital: The Evolution of Dental Implant Planning
In the realm of modern dentistry, careful planning is essential for successful dental
implant procedures. This lecture embarks on a journey through the evolution of
implant planning, highlighting the pros and cons of both conventional and digital
methods. While conventional implant planning has its advantages, it can be prone
to errors and time-consuming. The advent of digital technology has transformed
dental implant planning, making it more precise, quicker and comfortable for
patients. Additionally, this lecture also delves into the role of virtual surgical planning
and guided surgery, which have streamlined the implant placement process. By
PAGE 20 understanding both conventional and digital approaches in the implant planning, it
helps to guide dental professionals to provide optimal patient care and achieve more
favorable treatment outcomes.
