DS8110 - Orthodontic Theory and Clinical Practice 1 (Part 1 of 2)

In this subject students begin to develop knowledge and attitudes and acquire clinical and technical skills necessary to practise as a specialist orthodontist. This will be based on three essential elements: 1. what the orthodontist is able to do (clinical information gathering; treatment planning; treatment procedures) 2. how the orthodontist approaches clinical practice (application of basic clinical sciences; clinical reasoning and judgement; communication; health promotion; attitudes, ethical stance and legal responsibilities; information handling) 3. the orthodontist as a professional (role of the orthodontist within health services; personal development).
