Dr. Riolo’s Recent and Upcoming Lectures
12th Annual International Conference of ODOAN (Orthodontic and Dentofacial Orthopedics Association of Nepal).
Orthodontic Custom Appliance Workflow to Maximize Esthetics and Efficiency at the 12th annual conference of the Orthodontic and Dentofacial Orthopedics Association of Nepal
Washington Academy of General Dentistry
Session 1 – Are you still in the stone age? Get digital with 3D printing
Session 2 – Take control of your workflow with “In-House” Aligners
Morning Program Description:
The introduction of intraoral scanning in the orthodontic clinic has resulted in an inevitable transition from analog to digital orthodontic workflow. This transition to digital orthodontics offers opportunities to add value to the care we offer our patients. In this lecture I will present a review of technology and digital workflow for the plasterless orthodontic office including; 3D printing technology, STL editing applications associated with 3D printing as well as the workflow and equipment required to transition specific tasks in the orthodontic office from an analog workflow. These tasks include orthodontic appliance fabrication using printed models such as thermoform retainers, fabrication of “Soldered” appliances, indirect bonding techniques using digital models and interdisciplinary treatment planning using mounted digital setups. We will conclude the session with an introduction to the workflow associated with the fabrication of in-house custom appliances and a glimpse of one possible future for the orthodontic office.
Learning Objectives:
Describe the basic technology involved in dental 3D printing
Recognize the differences between various printers used in dentistry today
Discuss the workflow options required to implement 3D printing in an dental/orthodontic office
Explain how in-house workflow can add value to the care we offer our orthodontic patients
Identify the 3 types of software involved in the fabrication of in-house aligners
Afternoon Program Description:
Innovations in technology are disrupting the orthodontic profession. These changes affect both clinical care and the economics of care delivery. Digital technology has made custom orthodontic appliances like Clear Aligners possible and the disruption of the orthodontic marketplace we are experiencing due to the “direct to patient care” model is a direct result of the advent of these custom orthodontic appliances. This same digital technology that makes the corporate direct to patient care model possible offers orthodontists opportunities to improve the care we offer our patients by taking control of our workflow through 3D printing and “in-house” fabrication of clear aligners. There are a myriad of decisions to be made when fabricating and delivering in-house aligners to our patients. In this session we will discuss the strengths and weaknesses of various aligner staging platforms. We will also introduce the important factors in aligner fabrication and integration into your practice, including cost, staging parameters, labeling, packaging and branding of your “in-house” aligners.
Learning Objectives:
Identify the strengths and weakness of various aligner staging software
Recognize the types of cases that are predictably treated using in-house aligners
Recognize the important factors in effective aligner staging.
Describe the workflow associated with fabrication and delivery of in-house aligners and explain how aligner workflow can be customized to your practice
Recognize the importance of developing effective packaging and brand for your “in-house” aligner system
American Association of Orthodontists 2021 Annual Meeting (CANCELED due to COVID-19)
Hybrid custom appliances to maximize treatment esthetics and efficiency
University Of Washington, Orthodontic Mini Residency
Lingual Orthodontics/ Digital Software Solutions – 2 hour presentation on lingual orthodontic appliances and associated new technologies and techniques that can be used to add value to the care we offer our patients.
These technologies offer a unique opportunity for orthodontists to differentiate their orthodontic practices and remain competitive in a rapidly changing marketplace. Hybrid orthodontic techniques will be presented involving combinations of in-house clear aligners and lingual fixed appliances in order to maximize both efficiency and aesthetic during orthodontic treatment.
Wendell Wylie lecture (CANCELED due to COVID-19)
This is a single day presentation on digital orthodontics, 3D printing and associated new technologies and techniques that can be used to add value to the care we offer our patients.
These technologies offer a unique opportunity for orthodontists to differentiate their orthodontic practices and remain competitive in a rapidly changing marketplace.
This presentation will include the rationale for 3D printing in orthodontics, a review of 3D printing technology and the workflow required for 3D printing in your clinic. We will present various resin and metal 3D printing applications that can be used to facilitate aesthetic orthodontic treatment. Hybrid orthodontic techniques will be presented involving combinations of in-house clear aligners, buccal and lingual fixed appliances in order tomaximize both efficiency and aesthetic during orthodontic treatment.
The issues related to developing the necessary workflow to implement in-house clear aligner treatment in conjunction with fixed buccal and lingual treatment in your clinic will also be discussed.
