Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

The purpose of this course is to enable the student to apply basic knowledge of orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning and different treatment approaches to selected cases. Thus, the student will practice to distinguish patients who can be treated by a general practitioner and those who will require referral to an orthodontist.

The goal of the clinical part of this course is to prepare students for the clinical work related to removable orthodontic therapy. The student will prepare records, case presentation, problem list and treatment plan for a selected removable case. He/She will produce , insert and activate the appliance. Students are expected to follow up removable patients of former students and assist and observe orthodontic treatment procedures of other patients treated in the orthodontic clinic.

Course Content:

1. The student should be able to witness the problem-oriented approach to diagnosis and treatment planning.
2. The student should be able to differentiate between limited and isolated problems that might be effectively treated as part of a general practice from those requiring complex or comprehensive orthodontic treatment.
3. The student should have full understanding about all treatment stages from initial planning to insertion and activation of the appliance of removable treatment patients and will be able to design and construct a removable appliance.
4. The student should be able to reinforce his/her knowledge about skeletal malocclusions that require growth modification therapy, thus the student should have practical experience about headgear, facemask and functional appliances.
