BioProgressive Orthodontics Therapy - Dentistry eBooks

Course Overview

Taught by Dr. Sergio Sambataro, a follower of Professor Robert M. Ricketts, this course presents Bioprogressive orthodontic therapy — a philosophy built around treating growth and facial development as part of orthodontic mechanics rather than focusing on tooth movement alone. Rather than covering Ricketts' full body of work, the course focuses on simplified, practical treatment protocols drawn from that philosophy.

The curriculum works through treatment options for the most common dentoalveolar malocclusions seen in both pediatric and adult patients, including the intrusion of anterior teeth as part of managing open bite and deep bite cases. It also covers segmented utility arch technique (Burstone's approach across 2x1, 2x2, 2x4, and 2x6 configurations), cortical anchorage and arch growth per Ricketts' principles, and the evolution of bracket geometry and function relevant to bioprogressive mechanics.

Across 5 videos and 5 hours 39 minutes, the course is designed to make Ricketts' bioprogressive philosophy usable in everyday practice through simplified, applied mechanics rather than a purely historical or theoretical treatment.
