Prerequisite(s): None
Restrictions: None
Activities: Lecture
This lecture series occurs once per week (1-hr) for first year dental residents and MS students. Orthodontic tooth movement is a complex process defined by the supporting craniofacial structures including the periodontium (i.e., enamel, dentin, cementum, bone, and periodontal ligament). This course will focus on the basic biological concepts and mechanisms related to craniofacial development and orthodontic tooth movement (OTM). This course will also provide evidence for and against the
