Seminar Overview

greeting

Dr. Robert Murray Ricketts (1920-2003) made many contributions to the field of orthodontics, including the development of the bioprogressive philosophy. The bioprogressive philosophy is a set of principles that emphasizes treating the face as a whole in the context of physical and biologic laws. Dr. Ricketts modified and incorporated the best of other techniques and added new procedures of his own.

The purpose of the R (Revitalize) seminar is to adopt this philosophy on a practical level through didactic and experiential training. The topics covered include office management, anatomy, breathing, speech, mastication, deglutitions, growth, and aging.

Sunday's lecture covers the topics which were originally taught in Dr. Ricketts Seminar held in Scottsdale, Arizona in 1991.

Monday's clinical training covers diagnosis, prognosis (long-range growth forecasting with and without treatment), treatment planning, appliance construction (section/U-A wires, headgear, bumper, wire retention, removable retainer, and removable appliances), oral physiotherapy, and select surgeries.

We hope that you enjoy your happy orthodontic life with patients “progressively”!

Even if a simple question of the world best American orthodontic clinician Dr. Ricketts ...... “In the first place what is Orthodontics practice in relation to the public?” that the answer has not been found, it had been a driving force to let his clinical afterward.

Both “Long Range Growth Forecasting” as a diagnostic and prognostic tool, and the application of precious metal (various type of gold alloy) wire are thought to be convincing safe clinical progression.
On the other hand, he has enjoyed himself writing such as Buddha, Confucius, Goethe, Kikaki (the most popular Haiku poet in Edo era) these days. He published Kikaku’s latest work “Ruikouji” as a book in 2012.
