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”!
