Join us as TDA President Dr. Glen Hall provides a brief update regarding the recent news, actions and changes at the Texas Dental Association.

Unlocking Smiles: Exploring Maxillary Expansion Techniques, a two-hour continuing education course, will be presented at this meeting by Dr. Shivam Mehta. Different types of expanders are used to correct maxillary transverse deficiency. This lecture will discuss the different types of expanders and their applications. The lecture will discuss the long-term effects of maxillary expansion specifically mini-screw assisted rapid palatal expansion (MARPE) in detail. This presentation will answer the following questions: What are the effects of conventional rapid palatal expansion (RPE) and mini-screw assisted rapid palatal expansion in the long-term? Do RPE and MARPE affect the dental, skeletal, soft-tissue structures and airway in a different manner with respect to controls? This lecture would describe a cutting-edge technique of voxel-based superimposition of serial CBCT scans to analyze the changes with conventional and mini-screw assisted rapid palatal expansion as compared to controls. Furthermore, the short-term and long-term outcomes following expansion appliances would be described using color coded maps.
