Course Description
The course contains dentofacial systems, deciduous-mixed-permanent dentitions, orthodontic forces, and orthodontic tooth movements. Students will describe the growth and development of head, face and jaws and hard and soft tissues in dentofacial system, explain the required modalities for diagnosis of malocclusion, compare patient history, clinical examination and radiographic findings, describe the deciduous, mixed and permanent dentitions features, differentiate the normal and abnormal situations in teeth and dentition development with growth, explain the mechanism of orthodontic tooth movement, learn the response of tooth to applied orthodontic force, explain the difference between physiological and orthodontic tooth movement, learn the diagnostic modalities, important factors in severity of tooth resorption that can arise from orthodontic treatment and mostly affected teeth, and explain the local and general factors of malocclusion.
