Event Details
AO CMF NA Course—Orthognathic Surgery: Current Trends and Clinical Perspectives
Dallas, Texas, USA
The evolution of Orthognathic principles and practices, combined with knowledge of recent advances, helps the clinician more effectively treat challenging clinical problems. Coordinated comprehensive treatment planning primarily between the orthodontist and the orthognathic surgeon will help improve patient outcomes and decrease complications. Continuing education benefits clinicians by exposing them to new knowledge in the field, which in turn, leads to improved patient outcomes.
The course format which features both AO CMF International and North America expert faculty, will focus on ways to incorporate advanced technology such as computer-aided surgery and patient specific implants in treating orthognathic patients. The format will include short presentations from experts in the field combined with small group discussions with the participants and faculty. There will also be a virtual planning session where the attendees can work directly with an onsite engineer to plan orthognathic cases. Additionally, a laboratory session will include performing orthognathic surgical osteotomies on bone models with cutting guides and patient specific implants. Notably the workflow beginning with clinical exam, followed by virtual planning and leading to performing the surgical procedure, will be highlighted.
Target Audience
This course should be of special interest to attending surgeons / dentists and residents in Oral and Maxillofacial, Otolaryngology – Head and Neck, Plastic Surgery and Orthodontics.

Most states accept AMA constituents as approved sponsors for continuing dental education credit. If you have questions, your state dental board can confirm eligibility of this course.
Designation Statement - AO North America designates this live educational activity for a maximum of 13.00 AMA PRA Category 1 Credits™. Physicians should claim only the credit commensurate with the extent of their participation in the activity.
Expected results of AONA's CME activities for surgeons, fellows, and residents are to:
• Increase their knowledge base and surgical skill level
• Improve competence by applying advances of knowledge in patient care in the areas of trauma, degenerative disorders, deformities, tumors, and reconstructive surgical techniques
• Address practice performance gaps by improving management of aspects of traumatic injuries and musculoskeletal disorders (i.e., pre-operative planning to post-operative care)
- Identify advances and techniques in orthognathic surgery practice that contribute to functional and aesthetic improvement for patients
- Describe prevailing approaches to both routine and complex orthognathic clinical care problems
- Recognize the factors involved in a calculated treatment plan for orthognathic patients to achieve a predictable outcome including a thorough evaluation, proper diagnosis and setting realistic expectations
- Utilize an interdisciplinary approach in the evaluation and treatment of patients with dentofacial deformities
- Incorporate computer-aided surgery and patient specific implant treatment in their practice
