Objectives

GENERAL EDUCATIONAL OBJECTIVES
The teaching of Orthodontics has as general objectives to know the accretive and developmental models of the stomatognathic apparatus, to be able to distinguish the clinical and dysgnatic clinical pictures, to know how to classify the different clinical occlusal frameworks and to know the relative therapeutic implications, both in the growing subject that in the adult, knowing how to identify the "normality" in orthodontics, to know the principles of orthognathic therapy.
To complete the course the student must also be able to recognize the most complex cases, to report to the specialist in orthodontics, as beyond the skills of the general dentist and having acquired a multidisciplinary approach between orthodontics and other dental disciplines.
The student must have acquired adequate skills, which allow him to formulate an orthognathic diagnosis, use targeted and specific diagnostic tools, know how to perform clinical interventions, consistent with the minimum requirements of the professionalizing practical activities, declined, by type and number, for this discipline in the booklet of specific activities.
These objectives are pursued through frontal teaching activities and professionalizing practices, the latter carried out both as a pre-clinical and clinical internship, according to a precise training course, which involves the acquisition of specific knowledge and skills, with a training process articulated during the course of biennium, in which the teaching is structured.
SPECIFIC TRAINING OBJECTIVES
Upon completion of the course the student must know:
• embryology and anatomy, as well as craniofacial development and growth
• the ways of developing the arches, the dentition, the occlusion
• diagnostic paths useful for framing the various types of malocclusion
• orthognathic semeiotics, also in relation to instrumental facilities
• the histology and physiology of orthodontic movement
• the principles of biomechanics, as well as the mode of action, function and effects of orthodontic equipment
• the main therapeutic procedures that can be pursued with fixed, removable, fixed / removable devices.
• The principles of preventive, interceptive and corrective therapy of dental, dento-alveolar and skeletal dysgnathias in the growing subject.
• the principles of orthodontic therapy in adult patients
• the orthognathic implications in subjects with cleft palate.
• priorities for the treatment of orthodontic therapies in the community
• the limits of orthodontic treatments
• outline of developmental psychology in relation to orthodontic practice

Upon completion of the course the student must know:
• fill in the orthodontic medical record
• carry out a clinical orthognathic examination
• carry out an adequate analysis of the occlusion and its relationship with the other stomatognathic components
• take fingerprints and perform appropriate occlusion analysis on plaster models
• perform and interpret the orthopantomographic investigation in the clinical diagnostic context
• perform and interpret the latero-lateral and postero-anterior cephalometric tracing in the clinical-diagnostic context
• to correlate the various clinical and radiographic investigations that contribute to orthodontic diagnosis
• distinguish the main forms of malocclusions
• set up an intra and interdisciplinary treatment plan
• expose the treatment plan to patients and parents
• implement the knowledge acquired for the purpose of designing, applying and repairing the equipment necessary for orthodontic treatment
• design, insert and repair space maintainers
• design, insert and repair removable appliances for moving individual dental elements or correcting cross bites
• intercept orthodontic problems, including the indication of the need for treatment
• appropriately manage the various forms of orthodontic emergency
