MDI Sendax mini residencies
This course will cover the historical background of orthodontic temporary anchorage devices (OrthoTADs), then explore the scientific basis upon which this new treatment modality was founded. Dr. Jason Cope will offer a critical analysis of applicable literature involving animal experiments and clinical examples to support the contention that OrthoTADs are fundamentally an advanced based treatment method. The clinical component of the day is broken into the following sections: indications / contraindications; diagnosis and treatment planning; surgical placement; bio mechanical and clinical considerations; and removal procedures. At the conclusion of the course, ample time for questions and answers will be provided. Workshop notes: Attendees are encouraged to bring cases from their clinics, including models, x-rays and photos, prepared as a Power Point file on a CD or USB drive, for discussion, analysis and treatment planning.

Dr. Cope’s private practice is located in Dallas, Texas. In the span of one month in March 2002, he presented cases to the Texas Tweed Group, the Southwest Component of the Edward H. Angle Society, and the American Board of Orthodontics, passing all three exams and becoming board certified. He is also a full member of the SW component of the Edward H. Angle Society of Orthodontists. Dr. Cope has published 18 refereed journal articles, 34 book chapters, a research handbook and co-edited a 600-page textbook on distraction osteogenesis. He has also given over 130 lectures nationally and internationally. In January 2005, he was awarded the Baylor College of Dentistry Alumni Association Outstanding Young Alumnus Award for his contributions to the dental profession.
