| 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. |
