Long-Term Outcome of CLP
Treatment as a Result of
Interdisciplinary Cooperation and
Careful Planning
Prof. Dr. Anne Marie Kuijpers-Jagtman - The
Netherlands
1995-now - Professor and Chairperson of the Department of
Orthodontics and Craniofacial Biology at the Radboud University
Nijmegen (The Netherlands)
She is a past President of the European Orthodontic Society, a
former President of the Dutch Society for the Study of Orthodontics
and also of the Dutch Cleft Palate Craniofacial Association. At
present, she is Councillor of the World Federation of
Orthodontists (WFO).
Congress Conferences:
Long-Term Outcome of CLP Treatment as a Result of
Interdisciplinary Cooperation and Careful Planning
The principal role of the interdisciplinary cleft lip and palate team
(CLP team) is to provide integrated care for children with clefts and
to assure quality and continuity of patient care and longitudinal
follow-up.
The decisive factors for the final treatment results are: a high
caseload per surgeon, a clear and ‘simple’ treatment plan, and a
well-organized setting for CLP-care.
In 2002, she was honoured with a Fellowship in Dental Surgery by
Election to the Royal College of Surgeons of England and in 2004,
she received the Cesare Luzi Memorial Award of SIDO in Italy. She
was awarded Knight in the Order of Orange-Nassau (Royal Honour
of Her Majesty the Queen) for her services to cleft lip and palate
treatment in 2007. In 2009 and 2011, her group received the
Samuel Berkowitz Award from the American Cleft Palate
Craniofacial Association for the best publication on long-term
results of cleft lip and palate treatment.
From Single 3D Images to Fusion Models of the Head
She has undertaken extensive research during the past 25 years in
the areas of cleft lip and palate and the biological background of
orthodontics. In recent years, her major interests have been in 3Dimaging in orthodontics and evidence-based orthodontic
therapy. She has given numerous lectures in 35 countries around
the globe.
A synergy between these methods is created when they are fused
together to display all three facial structures at once in a virtual head.
For that reason, improvement of single 3D imaging techniques and
fusion processes has been the number one priority within the 3D lab
in Nijmegen.
Nowadays, the lateral and frontal cephalogram and the OPT can be
replaced by one cone beam CT scan, which enables a 3D-analysis
of the facial structures. 3D-facial still pictures can be made and just
recently 3D-video started to develop, which brings in the 4th
dimension. Digital dental casts will replace plaster casts for clinical
use and intra-oral digital impression taking is a new exciting
development.

2005 - Conducted a study, “Etude in vitro des forces de frottement
Durant la mécanique de glissement orthodontique au travers de
brackets conventionnels et auto-ligaturants”
Dr. Le Gall’s Thesis on « Traitment orthodontique et chirurgical

Marseille included General Pharmacology and General Embryology
(1984), Clinical Orthodontics (1986), Pathological Anatomy (1990)
and Surgical Methodology (1991).
third order control of the upper incisor makes complete sense.
The evolution of our techniques allows us to reach such results
through a proper mechanical thinking and through the use of specific
bracket/wire-assembly appliances. Improved sliding mechanics and
lower friction guarantee the generation of the proper forces for dental
movement, while taking physiology into consideration.
Therefore, the TGO prescription combines the benefits of the In-
Ovation® system to an innovative prescription in the anterior region
