Diagnosis & treatment planning of the Orthodontic patient

 This course will be given during the first semester of the academic year. It is intended for 3rd year postgraduate residents of the Orthodontic graduate program. It will be given once a week for a period of two hours. Various orthodontic cases will be presented by the course director in a power-point presentation. All the required records will be provided such as photographs and radiographs of before and after orthodontic treatment. The residents will be asked to analyze and diagnose the given cases and then setup a comprehensive orthodontic treatment plan for the specific case shown. Thereafter, the supervisor and the residents will review the original diagnosis and treatment plan that was given and performed on the patient, showing the progress and final outcome of the case. Various orthodontic problems will be covered ranging from interceptive treatment in the primary/mixed dentition, to treatment utilizing Orthognathic surgery for patients with Dentofacial deformities.
