GUEST SPEAKER
Dr. German Ramirez-Yañez is Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Manitoba, in Winnipeg, Canada. He has over 20 years of experience in guiding craniofacial growth and development. He is a specialist in Pediatric Dentistry (Mexico) and Functional Maxillofacial Orthopedics (Mexico & Brazil), as well as trained in Orthodontics (Mexico).
He has published more than 20 articles about early orthodontic treatment and craniofacial biology in peer review international journals such as the European Journal of Orthodontics, World Journal of Orthodontics, Journal of Clinical Orthodontics, International Journal of Jaw Function, Journal of Histochemistry and Cytochemistry, Bone and Archives of Oral Biology. He is also the scientific advisor of Myofunctional Research Co. in Australia and of Osteopharm Inc. in Canada. His research interest is in Craniofacial Growth and Development, the Patho-Physiology of Functional Disorders in the Cranio-Cervico-Mandibular system and how the craniofacial structures are modified by functional appliances.
