Course Description
The pedicle connective tissue graft (PCTG) has its own blood supply maintained, therefore, allowing graft survival on the poorly vascularized and nonvascularized recipient site. A palatal pedicle connective tissue graft is an essential element of mIVAN technique (modified Interpositional Vascularized Augmentation Neogenesis). mIVAN technique is the technique for simultaneous hard and soft tissue grafting used for (1) flap-less hard and soft tissue augmentation in extraction sockets with missing labial bone or (2) hard/soft tissue augmentations with simultaneous implant placement for ridges demonstrating horizontal atrophy in the esthetic zone.
Buccal sliding palatal pedicle flap (BSPPF) In the maxilla, a buccal sliding palatal flap can be applied for primary wound closure after ridge augmentation. The dissected part of the palatal connective tissue is left exposed thus eliminating or reducing the amount of the coronal flap advancement respectively and increasing the amount of keratinized gingiva. In combination with guided soft tissue augmentation, this flap design enables a three-dimensional peri-implant soft tissue augmentation

Description
Success in orthodontic treatment for a child with an intellectual disability is the extent to which the treatment rendered fulfills the parent’s expectation. How close you come to delivering the experience and treatment outcome that the parent was promised the day of the initial examination will determine orthodontic success. The concept of under-promise and overdeliver is usually a good policy. Mindset is more important than technical ability.

Beginning with the world of fashion photography, the lecture highlights cultural perceptions of beauty in modern society while concurrently exploring cultural perceptions of people living with genetic, physical and behavioral differences.
This global journey considers the importance of self-acceptance, self-esteem and self-advocacy as necessary tools to empower individuals and their families at risk of stigma, discrimination and exclusion. Images of several medical conditions will be presented as a stark contrast to existing imagery in medical education, while also emphasizing the importance of showcasing humanity and dignity through photography, film and narrative.
Positive Exposure will also provide samples of 2 programs, including FRAME (Faces Redefining the Art of Medical Education; FRAME is a web-based educational library and resource that changes how medical information is presented to health care professionals in training, clinicians, families and communities.
Each brief film creates a more robust understanding of featured conditions, while modeling an attitude of respect for the humanity of patients. While providing important key information, each film captures humanity and beauty of all participants.
Objectives
Participants will have a better understanding of the importance of photography, film, narrative and personal stories to facilitate more successful interactions with patients and families.
Through the FRAME program, participants will have an opportunity to meet individuals living with intellectual and developmental disabilities outside of the clinical environment.

Lynne M. Taiclet, BS, DMD, is currently serving as the Director for the Center for Patients with Special Needs (CPSN) at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine. Dr. Taiclet received her BS from Allegheny College in 1981, and earned her DMD from the University of Pittsburgh in 1985.

During her career, Dr. Taiclet has always had a passion for educating dental patients, and increasing the awareness of the causes of the dental disease process, with the ultimate goal of raising the “dental IQ” of the general population. Now the focus groups of that goal are the family members and care givers of the special needs patients that are treated in the CPSN.
Dr. Taiclet also assists the residents, dental and dental hygiene students in developing a comfort level in providing care for the special needs population of patients. She finds it very rewarding to share her passion for dentistry with these young professionals. Through the process of developing a rapport with the students and residents, and exposing them to the needs and care of these patients, the long term result will likely be an improved access to care for the special needs patients
