Course Description
This course is a prerequisite for the third part of PDS 626 clinical orthodontic
The entire course should provide the pre-doctoral student fundamental and comprehensive
knowledge and understanding of orthodontic diagnosis, evaluation and treatment with
respect to craniofacial and dental growth and development. Concepts of diagnosis and
treatment planning are presented to give an insight for patients needs.
This orthodontic course is designed in the curriculum so as to follow the guidelines for
predoctoral orthodontics developed by the American Association of Dental Schools. These
guidelines, which are included in current accreditation standards, suggest that an appropriate
curriculum should instructions at four levels:
1.
2.
3.
4.
Basic growth and development
Applied growth and development, including diagnostic procedures
Biomechanics and basic orthodontic techniques
Clinical orthodontics, including adjunctive procedures for adult and treatment
procedures of limited complexity for children

maintenance.

Instructor's Reflections on the course
After reviewing the 5th year curriculum and the last year's student's feedback (year 2006007), the faculty decided to decrease material as well as change a number of laboratory
projects. In addition, the duration was reduced to 45 minutes and the last 10 minutes was for
discussion or bob quizzes.
The structure of the course syllabus had no major changes except for change except for
change in the faculty members how is given the lectures so all the faculty will be familiar
with the course. Some additions, in the laboratory such as the addition of the Trans palatal
bar project, which will be given in second term, and we would like our student to be familiar
with it since it is widely used by most of the general practitioners (GP).
The new 5th year course syllabus was handed to the students at the beginning of the year
containing all course information (prepared by Prof. Ahmed Afify, and all laboratory
syllabus and guidelines (prepared by Dr. Zuhair Bakhsh. These guidelines & laboratory
manuals were used as a guide for the lab work and evaluation forms were also given to the
student. (All enclosed in the course related material).
The faculty aimed to further improve the contents and the structure of the course by linking
the lecture contents directly to their laboratory assignment. In addition we are in the process
of are trying to modify the lectures' set up to make it a problem based learning system in
which we believe that the students' benefit will increase. After getting the feedback from the
course instructors and the 6th year students. We will finalize the application of the problem
based learning system and fully included in the syllabus.
