Dental Sciences 5 - Orthodontics
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The course aims to present the anomalies of position and number of teeth, of intermaxillary relationships, the problems of their treatment, the increased risk of contracting dental diseases and how to prevent them.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course, the student will be able to orientate himself about the malocclusive pictures and to identify the correlations between dental hygiene and orthodontic movements both in children and in adults.
