| Course Summary: |
Orthodontics – Dentofacial Orthopedics is the oldest specialty in Dentistry.
It counts more than a century of successful treatment of dentofacial abnormalities.
Despite the very many years of orthodontic practice, many treatment modalities are not well understood, as for example the functional treatment of Class II and Class III. Orthodontic research, mainly on animal models the past decades, revealed some of the tissue reactions to functional jaw orthopedics. The underlining mechanisms though, at the cellular level and even more at the molecular level remained largely unclear. In an era when all medicine revolves around cellular mechanisms, molecular reactions and signal transduction pathways in an effort to understand and selectively treat human disease, it was consequential that orthodontics would also take such an orientation.
1. Condylar cartilage tissue under loading and functional jaw orthopaedics
The first part will cover all recent scientific data on bone and cartilage remodelling, the cellular and molecular effects of load application on condylar chondrocytes, the translation of these cellular events to condylar cartilage tissue reaction, and the final correlation to the clinical situation.
In particular the treatment effects of functional jaw orthopedics aiming at treating Class II or Class III cases will be explained, based on cellular and molecular knowledge.
2. Periodontal ligament tissue under stress and tooth movement.
How will the future look like?
The second part will cover cellular and molecular tissue reaction within the periodontal ligament under loading. Based on recent findings from our lab a new model for orthodontic tooth movement, revisiting the classical theory of compression and tension will be unravelled.
Finally future aspects in orthodontics will be debated. |

| Curriculum vitae: |
Dr. Effie Basdra graduated from Aristotle University of Thessaloniki Dental School and she received her orthodontic training from Columbia University in New York, USA. She completed her Doctorate Thesis under the supervision of Prof. G. Komposch at the University of Heidelberg, Germany on the influence of mechanical strain on condylar cartilage chondrocytes. She continued her basic research on mechanical stimulation of periodontal ligament fibroblasts, and completed her Habilitation at the University of Heidelberg, Faculty of Medicine. She published extensively on the biological basis of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics and she held many lectures and courses worldwide. She succeeded the late Prof. Graber as editor-in-chief, in the World Journal of Orthodontics. She holds editorial board positions and serves as reviewer in many orthodontic and basic research journals. At present, she leads the basic research laboratory of Cellular and Molecular Biomechanics, at the University of Athens Medical School. |
