PortugueseObjectives
The general goals of the UC General Orthodontic Aspects II of the Specialization Course in Orthodontics are:
- To insure the Knowledge of radiographic anatomy, Wits, Bjork-Jarabak, MacNamara and cervical analysis;
- To insure the Knowledge of radiographic anatomy, Wits, Bjork-Jarabak, MacNamara and cervical analysis;
- To develop subjects related natural head position, esthetical evaluation of the face and smile;
- To know the condilar position, and structural signs of Class III malocclusion;
- To develop skills and a well-founded understanding of the importance of the natural position of the head, the aesthetic evaluation of the face and the smile and images as auxiliary diagnostic elements for formulating the orthodontic diagnosis;
- To know the particularities of the cephalometric conversion to the centric relation and the structural progeny alarm signals;
- To know how to apply cephalometric computer programs in planning orthodontic treatment.
- To develop skills and a well-founded understanding of the importance of the natural position of the head, the aesthetic evaluation of the face and the smile and images as auxiliary diagnostic elements for formulating the orthodontic diagnosis;
- To know the particularities of the cephalometric conversion to the centric relation and the structural progeny alarm signals;
- To know how to apply cephalometric computer programs in planning orthodontic treatment.
Learning outcomes and competences
It is intended that the student:
- Has developed knowledge on topics related to radiographic anatomy in lateralis norm, frontalis norm and basalis norm.
- Have acquired the knowledge of radiographic anaysis of cervical vertebrae and analyzes of "Wits", "Bjork-Jarabak", and "McNamara".
- Have acquired the knowledge of radiographic anaysis of cervical vertebrae and analyzes of "Wits", "Bjork-Jarabak", and "McNamara".
- Have skills and well-founded understanding of the importance of the natural position of the head, the aesthetic evaluation of the face and the smile and of the images as auxiliary diagnostic elements for the formulation of the orthodontic diagnosis.
- Know the particularities of the indicator of the condylar position of the cephalometric conversion to the centric relation and the alarm signals of the strutural progeny.
