Colin Richman, DMD

 
Innovative dental procedures – combining regenerative periodontal therapy with orthodontic treatment – enable the dentist to minimize potential iatrogenic risk factors associated with orthodontic therapy. Focusing on favorably positioned teeth and an enhanced muco-gingival complex, facilitate ideal and predictable esthetics and function and minimizes the risk of iatrogenic gingival recession associated with orthodontic treatment. The goal is orthodontic stability and ideal tooth alignment with less need for orthognathic treatment or extractions and less apical root resorption, along with accelerated orthodontic treatment. We will discuss the background and concepts of POPA, its limitations as well as the complications of orthodontic treatment and the logistics of executing a multi-disciplinary treatment. Representative clinical cases and evidence will be presented.

Brandon Seto

 
Although survival of teeth is the goal of endodontics, often the primary focus of treatment is conformity with the endodontic triad: clean, shape, obturate. My experience over the last 9 years in private practice has led me to rethink these clinical objectives. Seeing recalls of patients treated in my family’s endodontic practice over the past 40 years has been a confusing, yet enlightening experience. Survival of teeth labeled with a guarded prognosis, failure in perfectly treated teeth, and long term retention of teeth with severe treatment deficiencies and radiolucent periapical findings have caused me to challenge existing paradigms. This presentation will review selected cases from a 40-year-old endodontic practice, explore them in-depth, and arrive at conclusions by which parameters for accurate outcome prognostication can be based.
 
About the presenter:  Dr. Brandon Seto is in full-time private practice in Santa Monica, CA and teaches weekly at the UCLA School of Dentistry student clinics. He received his Doctor of Dental Surgery from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2008 and his certificate in endodontics and Master of Science in Dentistry degree from the University of Washington in 2011. He joined his father, Dr. Bradley Seto, in a group endodontic practice that has been serving patients for over 40 years.
