Friday, April 8, 2022

Our distinguished speaker for the 13th Annual Dr. Tom Matthews Lecture is: Jaime Gateno, MD, DDS.  

Dr. Gateno is chairman of the Department of Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery and Hospital Dentistry at Houston Methodist Hospital in Houston, Texas. He is also a Professor of Clinical Surgery (Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery) at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and is voluntary faculty at the Department of Orthodontics at UT-Houston School of Dentistry.

COURSE TITLE:  Advances in Oral Surgery

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Orthodontists and maxillofacial surgeons have common interests. Among them are the treatment of jaw deformities and TMJ diseases. In the last several years, we have gained insights into fascinating diseases like unilateral condylar hyperplasia and juvenile idiopathic arthritis. However, many practitioners are not yet aware of the new advances. Similarly, significant advances have occurred in morphometrics and surgical simulation that directly impact patient care. Therefore, this course aims to bring to your attention the new paradigms.

COURSE OBJECTIVES

Upon completion of this course the participant would be able:

  • Classify all types of jaw deformities 

  • Evaluate jaw deformities using modern geometric cephalometry 

  • Recognize Juvenile Idiopathic arthritis in patients with TMJ erosions

  • Plan orthognathic surgery efficiently 

  • Reconsider our conception of unilateral condylar hyperplasia of the mandible   

  • Formulate a distraction osteogenesis plan that will result in better outcomes
