2025 Annual AARD Meeting

Simplifying space appropriation in interdisciplinary cases  

Management of interdisciplinary cases, especially those involving orthodontics will often also require the restorative management of some teeth.

Managing this type of patient and case will be discussed. Many conditions can create problems of space appropriation, these include, micro-dontia, macro-dontia, cases requiring tooth substitution, cases involving loss of tooth volume due to attrition, abrasion and erosion.

On many occasions the entire dentition is affected and co-ordinated treatment with an orthodontist is required. We will discuss this type of cases in a complete way, with specific reference to new concepts for managing space appropriation.

The American Academy of Restorative Dentistry committees are gearing up for an exciting year! AARD committee chairs Dennis Hartlieb (Essay) and Amanda Seay (Clinic) and their respective committees have been working hard for an entire year, assembling a roster of outstanding presenters for the 2025 Annual Meeting. Their efforts will continue as they work with the presenters to ensure the content of the meeting is second to none. Curt Ringhofer (Arrangements Chair) and his committee will again attend to the many behind-the-scenes details that make the Restorative Academy meeting shine on every level.
