This advanced orthodontic course basically focuses on the role of skeletal anchorage systems in Orthodontics. It gives the participants an in-depth overview on – temporary anchorage devices, orthodontic bone screws and bone plates. It is crafted to upgrade the clinical skills of orthodontists, post graduate students in orthodontics and orthodontic practitioners to treat complex orthodontic problems, non-surgically. It also focuses on the role of mini-implants in association with dental braces and aligners to treat challenging orthodontic cases.
Dental practitioners holding post graduate degree in Orthodontics / post graduate students in Orthodontics are ideal candidates for this course. General dentist (international delegates) who are not registered under the Dental Council of India – and have special interest in the field of Orthodontics can also avail this course to upgrade their clinical skills.

It involves the understanding of TAD biomechanics for de-crowding and retraction, treatment of vertical problems like gummy smiles, increased lower anterior facial height, clockwise rotated mandible and occlusal cants.
The course also involves non-surgical management of Class II and Class III skeletal problems and correction of transverse skeletal problems in adults using MARPE / MSE.
The lectures on the 2nd day are focused on – correction of impaction and transpositions with the aid of TADs, non-surgical camouflage of Class II and Class III malocclusions with infra zygomatic crest bone screws (IZC) and buccal shelf bone screws (BSS), orthodontic re-treatment, digitized appliances with TADs and role of TADs in clear aligner therapy.
The lecture curriculum also focuses on – clinical innovations with TADs, evidence-based treatment protocol with TADs and failures of TADs – critical appraisal and management.
The 3rd day of the course has an extensive hands-on session. The participants are allowed to work on 3D printed models – where they can place TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices) using different armamentarium in various inter-dental and extra-alveolar sites. It also has an extensive videographic session where TADs related minor surgical processes are discussed.
All in all, masterclass is comprehensive course which trains clinicians on A-Z of treatment of challenging orthodontic cases with skeletal anchorage systems.

Yes, the 3rd day of the course (Course B) has an extensive hands-on session. The participants are allowed to work on 3D printed models – where they can place TADs (Temporary Anchorage Devices) using different armamentarium in various inter-dental and extra-alveolar sites. During the session, personalized attention and guidance is provided to every participant by the course coordinators on a one-to-one basis.
The hands-on section also involves a videographic section where different clinical minor surgical videos related to skeletal anchorage systems are showcased.
It also involves a problem-solving section where the participants are taught how to overcome different complication arising during the treatment of complex orthodontic problems with TADs.
No, there is no option for the participants to work on patients – as a part of the course curriculum.
