- Orthodontic Resident Case Display -
AAO Annual Session- Philadelphia, April 25-27, 2025
AAO Case Display Chair: Councilor Dr. Nipul Tanna
Last Day to Register is Monday, 4/21/25
The Case Displays will be located on the first floor near the Shuttle Drop in room 105 at the Philadelphia Convention Center:
1) Cases must have been treated within the last 5 years and within the residency program. No outside transfer cases. Cases may only be shown once at the AAO Case Display.
2) Treatment must be completed by one resident and/or a second resident whom the patient was transferred. These “transfer” cases should have a letter from the faculty confirming that the cases were treated by the residents.
3) Case models must follow ABO standards to include either plaster or 3-D printed models (hollow or full base) and ABO Case Display paperwork included in a 3-ring binder with required cover sheet (Cover Sheet Link and you can also request it via email at info@cdabo.org).
All Case Display submission, documentation and write up should follow the exact same standard and format that is required by the ABO for mail-in case submission. For the ABO ID# and Case # you can write not applicable.
4) All patient identifying information must be redacted. All school information must be redacted in the paperwork, so it is only listed on the cover sheet.
5) All Case Displays must be picked up by 4pm on Sunday, 4/27/25.
A Residency program can submit a maximum of TWO cases, for 2025
One case with DI of 10-19 and the second case with DI of 20 or greater
There will be first, second, and third awards in each of the two DI case categories. See 2025 Case Display Scoring Sheet Link to set your residents up for success.
Winning residents and the program faculty will be recognized during the CDABO membership reception on Saturday afternoon during the annual AAO meeting. Invitations will be texted to the faculty member or program director onsite at AAO.
