Description
During the AO CMF NA 20th Annual Symposium: Selected Topics in Orthognathic Surgery with Optional Workshop on Patient Specific Plates, participants will investigate the evolution of orthognathic principles and practices, exploring recent advances in the field that may help the clinician more effectively treat challenging clinical problems.
Key topics to be covered during the symposium include utilizing coordinated comprehensive treatment planning—between the orthodontist and the orthognathic surgeon—to help improve patient outcomes and decrease complications.
