Hands-on Description

The hands-on workshop covers facial analysis, computerized cephalometric treatment planning, and articulator model surgery. A patient from Dr. Arnett's practice is studied. Each student will complete a facial analysis which will direct cephalometric treatment planning. Indicated cephalometric changes will then be used to guide articulated model surgery. Students' work will be compared to the patient's actual treatment plan and surgery.

Chester Wang and the Dolphin Imaging team will install a trial version of the "Arnett Module" on all laptops for the cephalometric treatment planning portion of the lecture.
