- Notes from the lessons.

This Course allows the student to participate to the practical training under tutoring and the Professor to evaluate not only the acquired practical knowledge but also the critical spirit of the student developed during the Course.
Specifically, the student will be able to:
- understand the importance of the first visit
- participate in the development of study models
- participate in the execution of a set of photographs
- trace and understand a cephalometric tracing
- participate in the discussion of treatment plans
- know the instruments
- participate as observer to the different types of orthodontic
treatment
- participate in simpler orthodontic treatment procedures
under tutoring.
At the end of the Course the student must be able to understand and participate to the main clinical activities aimed at diagnosis and treatment of dental, skeletal and functional malocclusions.

In previous years the student must have acquired a good study methodology and an adequate self-assessment capacity.

The Course is organized only with practical training under tutoring.

Final Examination
The Course has an oral final examination.
Intermediate Examination
In the middle of the Course, intermediate tests based on oral questions and / or practical tests may be scheduled only for verifying the learning impact of students, without any voting.
During these tests, students can also provide their suggestions to identify the critical issues and improve the organization of the Course.
