Autores ResumoOn behalf of the officers, the Board of Trustees, the Planning Committee, and the staff of the American Association of Orthodontists, I am pleased to invite you, your family, and your orthodontic staff to attend the 99th Annual Session in San Diego, California. The extensive scientific program concentrates on orthodontic goals for the next century. Join us in this waterfront city as we chart the course for quality treatment, learning and sharing with orthodontists from around the world. General Chair, Dr Lee R. Boese, has done a remarkable job of helping to make our vision of the 99th Annual Session a reality. The program should satisfy your orthodontic educational needs completely, in a relaxing environment. The Exhibit Hall will contain over 290 different companies offering the latest state-of-the-art orthodontic products and services available to the practicing orthodontist. The Opening Ceremonies this year will be held Saturday evening in a spectacular outdoor tented area, allowing more time in scientific lectures and the Exhibit Hall. The Doctors’ Scientific Program was developed by Drs Peter M. Sinclair and Patrick K. Turley. The four concurrent lecture halls with focused topics such as Biomechanics, Interdisciplinary Treatment and Care, Early Treatment, and Treatment Outcomes, will fulfill your continuing educational requirements in every aspect of orthodontics. The Advances in Clinical Orthodontics Program is loaded with brief presentations on the ever-changing art and science of orthodontics and should not be missed. A special full-day scientific session on Interdisciplinary Care designed for orthodontists, other dental specialties, and general dentists is scheduled for Monday. Review the scientific session descriptions carefully to maximize your learning experience at the Annual Session. The Orthodontic Staff Program provides a wealth of information designed for the busy orthodontic practice. Topics such as financial efficiency, clinical expertise, laboratory techniques, interoffice communication, practice marketing, and infection control are all part of the program developed by Orthodontic Staff Co-chairs, Dr Steven A. Dugoni and Kathi Kinney. Please refer to the separate Orthodontic Staff Preview Program for complete program and registration information. Local Arrangements Chair, Dr John E. Grubb, and the members of the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists are pleased to have you join them in sunny San Diego. The shore-side city is full of fun and interesting things to do and enjoy while you learn at the Annual Session. In keeping with this atmosphere, we are suggesting casual attire for this year. From the museums at Balboa Park to Sea World to shopping in La Jolla, the activities are as endless as the beautiful weather. Visiting the beach, riding the oceanside roller coaster, or cruising the Bay can make your trip complete. The San Diego Annual Session will be an educationally stimulating experience for you and your orthodontic staff, as well as a great vacation for your family. We look forward to seeing you at the 99th Annual Session, May 14-18, 1999. The San Diego Convention Center will contain the Exhibit Hall, Registration, Special Events, the Doctors’ Scientific Sessions, and other meetings.
