The aligner is programmed to move the tooth. But will the tooth actually follow the plan? 🦷

A digital setup may look flawless, yet clinical reality can bring anchorage loss, insufficient intrusion, uncontrolled extrusion, or spaces that refuse to close as expected.

The problem often lies not in the aligner system itself, but in the biomechanics built into the treatment plan.

📍 On September 3–5 in Warsaw, Giorgio Fiorelli will present the course “Aligner Biomechanics” for orthodontists who want to understand the mechanics behind every tooth movement and achieve more predictable clinical outcomes.

The theoretical part will cover:

🔹 fundamentals of aligner biomechanics
🔹 limitations of tooth movement and anchorage control with aligners
🔹 extraction and non-extraction treatment
🔹 deep bite correction and expansion
🔹 the use of skeletal anchorage
🔹 hybrid approaches for molar uprighting, true intrusion, space closure, and deep bite correction

During the hands-on typodont sessions, you will practise:

⚙️ molar uprighting mechanics
⚙️ intrusion mechanics using different auxiliary devices
⚙️ controlled extrusion with various appliances
⚙️ space-closing mechanics
⚙️ hybrid treatment planning and selecting the most appropriate appliance for each clinical situation

How will a tooth move after activation — and can you predict it in advance?

In orthodontic treatment, the outcome depends not only on the selected archwire, aligners, elastics, or miniscrews.

What truly matters is the force system created by the appliance:
▪️ force direction and magnitude
▪️ the position of the center of resistance
▪️ moment
▪️ anchorage
▪️ the biological response of tissues

🦷 In Dr. Giorgio Fiorelli’s approach, biomechanics does not begin with choosing the tool. It begins with the question:
What movement do we want to achieve — and what side effects should we expect?

In this carousel, we break down a practical algorithm:
🔹 how to define the final goal
🔹 how to design the force system
🔹 how to assess whether the chosen mechanics is clinically feasible
🔹 how to predict tooth movement before activation

📍 On September 3–5 in Warsaw, at Dr. Giorgio Fiorelli’s practical course “Biomechanics with Aligners,” we will take these principles further and discuss their application in aligner therapy: how to control tooth movement, predict side effects, and make biomechanical decisions consciously.

When the implant is correctly positioned but the soft tissues still fail, the entire esthetic outcome is compromised ☝️

At Ricardo Kern’s hands-on course, “Soft Tissue Management Around Implants,” we will explore how to create a stable soft-tissue contour, manage cases in the esthetic zone, and improve the predictability of implant rehabilitation.

The program includes:

🔴 immediate implant placement and immediate loading protocols
🔴 creation of a biologically driven emergence profile
🔴 treatment strategies for edentulous patients and full-arch implant rehabilitation
🔴 prosthetic protocols for the esthetic zone

The hands-on session includes practical training in:

🔴 VIP-CTG
🔴 SMILE
🔴 Table-Top
🔴 CAF and T-CAF

🦷 The loss of five anterior teeth combined with severe alveolar bone deficiency presents a clinical situation in which the outcome depends on close coordination between every stage of treatment.

This case reviews the multidisciplinary rehabilitation of a patient following severe trauma, including diagnosis, treatment planning, orthodontic preparation, bone grafting, implant placement, and the 2-year outcome.

The authors place particular emphasis on implant positioning, occlusal conditions, support of the subnasal region, and long-term esthetic risks in the anterior maxilla.

🪡 The esthetic zone leaves no room for compromise.

Root coverage procedures, management of a thin phenotype, and soft tissue reconstruction around implants all require meticulous attention to detail. Every millimeter matters — from flap design and graft fixation to the long-term stability of the gingival margin.

We invite you to join Giovanni Zucchelli’s course, where his signature approaches to mucogingival surgery will be explored, including the treatment of single and multiple recessions, the use of CTG, Emdogain® and collagen matrices, as well as soft tissue reconstruction around implants.

A special focus will be placed on hands-on training, surgical video demonstrations, and the discussion of clinical cases.

What Determines the Stability of the Gingival Margin After Root Coverage?

When treating gingival recessions in the esthetic zone, it is important to evaluate not only the depth of the defect and the ability to advance the flap coronally.

For long-term stability, the following factors are essential:

🔹 soft tissue thickness;
🔹 width of keratinized tissue;
🔹 flap stability;
🔹 quality of graft fixation;
🔹 tension-free flap closure.

A connective tissue graft should not be used by default. It is indicated when there is a need to improve the biological conditions for healing: to increase tissue thickness, support the gingival margin, and reduce the risk of recurrent apical displacement.

In this post, we discuss when CTG is particularly justified and which factors should be considered before selecting a surgical approach.

📍 On April 5–7, 2027, Giovanni Zucchelli will lead a hands-on course in Istanbul:

🦷 Let’s meet in Warsaw for Module 2: “Advanced Non-Surgical Retreatment and Fragment Retrieval.”

On February 22–23, I will lead a seminar and live demonstration dedicated to some of the most challenging clinical situations in endodontics, including root canal retreatment, ledge management, cracked teeth, endo-perio lesions, and fractured instrument retrieval.

The program includes:

🔹 differential diagnosis of odontogenic and non-odontogenic pain
🔹 modern techniques for crown removal and post retrieval
🔹 strategies for managing ledges and C-shaped canals
🔹 diagnosis and treatment of endo-perio lesions
🔹 Dr. Terauchi’s proprietary protocols for fractured instrument retrieval
🔹 demonstrations of ultrasonic and combined retrieval techniques

🦷 A fractured instrument in the root canal is not always an indication for immediate removal.

What matters far more is determining which approach will truly improve the tooth’s prognosis: removing the fragment, bypassing it, or avoiding aggressive intervention altogether.

Today, endodontics relies increasingly not on technical skills alone, but on a precise analysis of the clinical situation. CBCT findings, root canal anatomy, the amount of dentin that would need to be removed, the location of the fragment, and the degree of infection beyond it are the factors that ultimately determine both the treatment strategy and the long-term outcome.

🔬 In his research, Yoshi Terauchi proposes viewing fragment retrieval not as an isolated procedure, but as a decision-making algorithm in which the following factors play a key role:

✔️ visibility under the microscope
✔️ the degree of canal curvature
✔️ the length of the fractured instrument
✔️ the biological prognosis of the tooth

In this carousel, we discuss when an attempt to remove the fragment is truly justified, when bypass is the preferred option, and why, in some cases, leaving the fragment in place may be the most rational decision.

📚 If you would like to approach complex retreatment cases with greater confidence, we invite you to join “Advanced Non-Surgical Retreatment and Fragment Retrieval”, an educational event led by Yoshi Terauchi.
