Clinical orthodontics for advanced practitioner :

Special lecture and hands on course for Vietnamese dentists

Academic Year 2019

This special coursework is designed for the dentists who already have mastered the
basic course of orthodontic treatment, so that who have the skill to diagnose, establish
treatment plan, and perform the orthodontic treatment of the simple malocclusions.
The aim of this coursework is to provide the participants the advanced, and specialize
knowledges and skills of the current orthodontic treatment.
This course work is also expected to do it’s role as a continuous dental education
program for the orthodontic specialists.

The course includes an introduction of the newest topics in field of orthodontics,

various approaches to correct complex skeletal problems, and some lectures about the
biomechanics of orthodontic tooth movement.

‘Clinical orthodontics for advanced practitioner ; Special lecture and hands on course
for Vietnamese dentists’ is an 8 days course work that consists of two components, 'the
lectures and the hands on'.

At the end of this course work, the participants are expected to;

- Understand component of skeletal malocclusions

- Have ability to apply orthopedic appliances in growing patients
- Have a knowledge of current topics in orthodontic fields
- Be able to use temporary anchorage device in their clinics
- Acquire the knowledge of biomechanics for various force application
