| Contents | The aim of the Orthognathic course is to enable students to recognize, distinguish, and classify dysgnathic clinical conditions; to acquire knowledge of OPT evaluation, other diagnostic radiographs performed during orthognathic check-ups, and cephalometric tracing; to understand the principles of growth and development of the stomatognathic system; and to be able to perform a plaster model analysis with diagnosis in the three spatial planes and spatial assessment. |
| Reference texts | PROFFIT W R. “ORTODONZIA MODERNA”. Masson ed. Milano 1995 |
| Educational objectives | - a detailed and in-depth knowledge of the program topics - a good knowledge of orthodontic materials - the ability to perform a complete initial orthodontic examination (anamnesis, medical records, general and orthodontic dental assessment) - the ability to request diagnostic tests with appropriate justification (x-rays, specialist examinations by ENT, ophthalmologists, pediatricians, and orthopedists) - the ability to perform a second orthodontic examination (including examination of plaster models, space assessment, and cephalometric tracing) and formulate a diagnosis - the ability to promptly assess the urgency of orthodontic treatment, with particular attention to interceptive treatment |
| Prerequisites | none |
| Teaching methods | lectures + pre-clinical internship exercises in cephalometry, analysis of plaster models, study and evaluation of the opt, analysis of spaces in the arch |
| Other information | none |
| Learning verification modality | Multiple-choice exam. OPT X-ray and teleradiography. |
| Extended program | 1) General 2) Definition of "malocclusion" Classification of malocclusion from a dental perspective in the three planes of space. - Sagittal (Angle classes, overjet) - Vertical (overbite: deep bite, open bite) - Transverse (unilateral and bilateral crossbite, scissor bite) 3) Deciduous dentition, mixed dentition, permanent dentition. Periods of change 4) Principles of craniofacial growth 5) Bad habits 6) Dental anomalies (shape, number, volume, position, development) 7) Orthognathic check-up: - Clinical examination - Square study models according to Tweed - Model examination - Space analysis (Moyers index in mixed dentition, effective space/space required ratio in permanent dentition) - Orthopantomography - Lateral X-ray + cephalometric tracing - Carpal X-ray + skeletal age determination - Posterior-anterior X-ray, occlusal X-ray, intraoral X-ray - Intraoral and facial photographs (frontal and profile) 8) Cephalometry: - Importance of cephalometry for skeletal diagnosis - Anatomical tracing - Cephalometric points, planes, and angles according to Jarabak - Linear measurements according to Schwarz - Evaluations according to Bjork - Growth pattern 9) Diagnosis: - Dental - Skeletal - Functional 10) Physiology of tooth movement |
