10th Annual Dr. Tom Matthews Lecture - Enhancing Your Clinical Efficiency

10th Annual Dr. Tom Matthews Lecture 

 Enhancing Your Clinical Efficiency

Featuring 

Dr. Renato P. Martins 

The course objectives are to simplify biomechanics and show how better mechanics can be used to enhance clinical efficiency. 

The first portion of this course uses scenarios to apply mechanical concepts to various clinical situations. The scenarios include the correction of rotations, molar distalization with miniscrews, molar intrusion and archwire deflections. 

The second portion of the course focuses on mechanically based pearls that could change the way you treat patients. The pearls pertain to early tranverse and verticle corrections, use of chain and intermaxillary elastics with light wires, molar uprighting, friction control, the optimal use of nickel-titanium's mechanical properties, the logical choice of prescription, and diagnosis based on upper incisor position.

Dr. Tom Matthews helped found the Department of Orthodontics at Baylor College of Dentistry in 1961 along with his lifelong friend, Dr. Robert E. Gaylord.  Dr. Matthews had a profound influence on all the graduates of the Department for almost 50 years.  The Department of Orthodontics, and its graduates gratefully recognized Dr. Matthews’ many contributions to orthodontic education by establishing the Dr. Tom Matthews Lectureship in 2007.

The Dr. Tom Matthews Lectureship will be presented annually in perpetuity to honor this outstanding gentleman.  Funding for this lectureship is provided by the Dr. Tom Matthews Endowment (held by the Baylor Oral Health Foundation) and continues to be made possible through the generosity of his former students, colleagues, friends, family and the attendees at each annual lecture.

Dr. Peter Buschang is a Regents Professor and director of orthodontic research at Texas A&M University Baylor College of Dentistry. Prior to college, he volunteered to serve in the US Army from 1969-1972. After college, Dr. Buschang was a NIDCR postdoctoral fellow in the Department of Orthodontics University of Connecticut Health Science Center from 1980-1983, and then a FRSQ scholar in the Orthodontic section and Human Growth Research Center at the University of Montreal from 1983-1988. His research interests focus on craniofacial growth, developmental adaptations to orthodontic and surgical treatments and oral-motor function. He has published over 300 peer-reviewed articles, three books and numerous book chapters.  Dr. Buschang has given over 150 invited lectures and workshops, and has served as associate editor for several journals. He is the only person to hold honorary memberships in both the American Association of Orthodontics and the Edward H. Angle Society. In 2011, his former residents honored him by establishing the Peter H. Buschang Endowed Professorship in Orthodontics.
