6. Factors affecting the long-range stability of orthodontic correction and their management
7. Personal hygiene and infection control, prevention of cross infection and safe disposal of hospital waste,
keeping in view the high prevalence of Hepatitis and HIV and other highly contagious diseases.

Skills

1. To obtain proper clinical history, methodical examination of the patient, perform

essential diagnostic procedures, and interpret them and arrive at a reasonable diagnosis about the
Dentofacial deformities.
2. To be competent to fabricate and manage the most appropriate appliance - intra or extra oral, removable
or fixed, mechanical or functional, and active or passive - for the treatment of any orthodontic problem to
be treated singly or as a part of multidisciplinary treatment of orofacialdeformities.

Attitudes:
1. Develop an attitude to adopt ethical principles in all aspects of Orthodontic practice.
2. Professional honesty and integrity are to be fostered
3. Treatment care is to be delivered irrespective of the social Status, cast, creed or colleagues

4. Willingness to share the knowledge and clinical experience with professional colleagues

5. Willingness to adopt, after a critical assessment, new methods and techniques of orthodontic management
developed from time to time based on scientific research, which are in the best interest of the patient
6. Respect patients rights and privileges, including patients right to information and right to seek a second
opinion

7. Develop attitude to seek opinion from allied medical and dental specialists as and when required
Communication skills

95
1. Develop adequate communication skills particularly with the patients giving them various options available
to manage a particular Dentofacial problem and to obtain a true informed consent from them for the most
appropriate treatment available at that point of time.
2. Develop the ability to communicate with professional colleagues, in Orthodontics or other specialities through
various media like correspondence, Internet, e-video, conference, etc. To render the best possible treatment.
Course Content
The program outlined, addresses both the knowledge needed in Orthodontics and allied Medical specialities in its
scope. A minimum of three years of formal training through a graded system of education as specifies, will equip
the trainee with skill and knowledge at its completion to be able to practice basic Orthodontics and have the
ability to intelligently pursue further apprenticeship towards advanced Orthodontics.

professionals are confronted with many ethical problems is therefore absolutely necessary for
each and every one in the health care delivery to prepare themselves to deal with these
problems. To accomplish this and develop human values, it is desired that all the trainees
