RCP themes

Three poles, multiple themes.

Cases are grouped into three case-conference poles. Each theme brings together the relevant expertise; everyday cases are welcome.

Early diagnosis, interception and active treatment of the growing patient.

Early diagnosis and therapeutic orientation in children.

Collegial discussion of interception indications: transverse deficiencies, skeletal Class II/III, early malpositions, harmful habits.

Active treatment in mixed or young permanent dentition.

Collegial validation of strategies: extraction vs. non-extraction, biomechanics, choice of appliance, management of growing cases.

Biomechanical, aesthetic and multidisciplinary trade-offs in the adult patient.

Biomechanical and aesthetic trade-offs in the adult patient.

Complex adult cases: post-orthodontic relapse, anchorage, periodontal management, limits of aligners, aesthetic expectations.

Orthodontic preparation for prosthetic rehabilitation.

Pre-prosthetic positioning, agenesis, space closure vs. reopening, dialogue with the prosthodontist and general practitioner.

Mini-screws, specific anchorage devices, adjunctive appliances.

Indications, planning, management of complications of anchorage devices and biomechanical accessories.

Orthodontic-surgical coordination and management of the compromised periodontium.

Orthodontic-surgical coordination in skeletal dysmorphoses.

Pre-surgical orthodontic preparation, sequencing, communication with the maxillofacial surgeon, post-operative follow-up.

Patients with a weakened or stabilising periodontium.

Indications and contraindications for tooth movement, sequencing with the periodontist, choice of light mechanics.

No academic filter: a "simple" case can enrich the whole RCP.

The goal is to avoid poor decisions and loss of opportunity for the patient.

No brand or sponsor bias: only the patient's optimal treatment matters.
