KOREA In March 2010 the eighth Roth Williams International Seminar was held. The 10 participants in the course were instructed by Drs. Byungtaek Choi, Eunah Choi, and Gyehyeong Lee. All participants enthusiastically took part in the course. As visiting professors, Drs. Byungtaek Choi and Eunah Choi lectured on the Roth philosophy to the residents of the Department of Orthodontics at the Seoul National University Dental Hospital. The lectures were held weekly during the month of June 2010. The Roth Williams Center Korea has been encouraging our members to contribute to the Roth Williams Legacy Fund. We expect a desirable outcome by the 2010 annual meeting in Rome. Dr. Eunah Choi Director, Roth Williams Center Korea SPAIN Without any doubt 2009 was a great year for RW Spain/Portugal. Concerning the RW 2-year course, this year we finished group number 10 (26 students) and we started group number 11 (28 students). The 2-year course has truly grown to be a comprehensive orthodontic course. We now have three full-time teachers who come to every session and not only help in the clinic but also present as teachers. They are Drs. Alberto Canabez from Barcelona, Eugenio Martins from Portugal, and Iñigo Gomez from Bilbao. All three of them have contributed to the excellent quality of the RW course. Apart from these full-time teachers, we have also incorporated into our courses experts in the different fields of dentistry, who have come and taught different sessions. They are Dr. Iñaki Gamborena, prosthodontist, Drs. Jon Zabalegui and Iñigo Sada, periodontists, Dr. Dave Hatcher, radiologist, Dr. Borja Zabalegui, endodontist, Dr. Renato Cocconi, orthodontist, and Dr. Mirco Raffaini, surgeon. All of these teachers have given the RW courses a truly interdisciplinary approach, which is what FACE promotes worldwide. Another important aspect of 2009 that has been fundamental in making RW a truly interdisciplinary course is the fact that we have organized two different courses, Bioesthetics with Dr. Ken Hunt and Dr Alejandro James, and Orthognathic Surgery with Dr. Lucho Quevedo. Many of our former students have signed up for the courses, and this has given them a greater understanding of the importance of incorporating both disciplines into our interdisciplinary approach. But we cannot forget that with Osteoplac now organizing and promoting our courses they have become truly professional, and without this support we could have never reached the status that we now enjoy. Dr. Domingo Martín Director, Roth Williams Center Spain and Portugal 6 News from the Roth Williams Teaching Centers UNITED STATES New and exciting things are happening within the Advanced Education in Orthodontics (AEO) group. In June of 2010, Group VIII will have their graduation. Group VIII is the largest class, with 25 doctors. A total of 125 doctors have finished the rigorous seven sessions. The directors have been extremely uplifted by the positive responses given by the graduates as to their overall educational experience. Comments like this are the usual: “Keep up the good work. I thank you daily in the back of my mind for telling me I needed to take this course and that I would be a better orthodontist. You guys were absolutely right and as challenging as our profession is and as smart as our colleagues are, I feel light years ahead of them and my GP’s thank you.” Ben. The course is continuing to improve and evolve without sacrificing any of the Roth Williams basics. Techniques such as the true horizontal hinge axis mountings combined with true horizontal hinge axis 3-D imaging have been introduced to improve accuracy of diagnosis and treatment planning. In the past, AEO was successful in improving the Visual Treatment Options (VTO) both in ease of use and in teaching technique. Now the course incorporates the latest in 3-D technology. The directors have been instrumental in developing software that enhances the efficiency of orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning. The next step is to develop 3-D software that is based on the true hinge axis. This is being handled by Dr. Robert Frantz. Dr. Andrew Girardot is responsible for editing and publishing the longawaited Roth Williams Philosophy textbook. Because of the substantial commitment required for this important project, Andy will not be teaching formally until his work on the book is complete. The true standard wide archform (SWA) system that Dr. Roth developed is continuing to evolve. With the help of the Head of Product Development at GAC, Tom Macari, and AEO, improvements to the bracket are in the works. The teaching techniques developed at AEO are evolving as well. With the advent of new computer technology, many new and exciting things will be happening in the next year. The Roth Williams USA center has a new home base. Due to an excellent opportunity afforded us by Dr. Carlos Navarro, AEO will be moving to Houston, Texas. So in October of 2010, Group IX will travel to Texas for the new class. The new facility will have adequate space for teaching the total Roth Williams experience. The clinical, laboratory, and lecture will now be in one location. This location is close to many fine restaurants and entertainment. Drs. Andy Girardot, Bob Frantz, and Ted Freeland Directors, Roth Williams Center USA URUGUAY Once again, it is a pleasure for the Roth Williams Center Uruguay for Functional Occlusion (RWCUFO) to be present in our Journal. We would like to inform you that finally in December 2009, our 3-year course started in the Faculty of Odontology, Catholic University of Montevideo, Uruguay. The first three sessions have been completed, with a total of 13 participants. We are having real success with the contributions of our friends and outstanding speakers from all over the world.
In addition, three 8-hour courses were scheduled in April, August, and December 2010. Presentations include Dr. Roth’s Philosophy: the importance of the condyle setting in the fossae:physiological principles for neuromuscular deprogramming, by Dr. Guillermo Ochoa; Treatment planning according to Roth’s Philosophy, by Dr. Oscar Palmas; and Evidence-based Roth’s Philosophy and its application in multidisciplinary treatments, by Dr. Domingo Martín. Dr. Martín will also be giving a 4-day course for all the specialists related to orthodontics. To know more about our courses, please visit the Web page www.ucu. edu.uy/Odontologia, or contact us by e-mail at rwcuruguay@gmail. com. Our group is concerned about research. To address this concern, we are encouraging our students to make a weekly commitment to our study group. We are working hard in order to achieve the best results.
