ONE YEAR FELLOWSHIP IN CLINICAL ORTHODONTICS
THE COURSES ARE DESIGNED TO EQUIP THE TRAINEE WITH SKILL AND KNOWLEDGE AND ON THEIR COMPLETION TO BE ABLE TO PRACTICE SOME LEVEL OF BASIC ORTHODONTICS AND HAVE THE ABILITY TO INTELLIGENTLY PURSUE FURTHER APPRENTICESHIP TOWARDS ADVANCED ORTHODONTICS.
12 modules of lectures, demo, hands on Typodonts and patient work spread over 12 months held on one weekend of every month (two days every month on Saturday & Sunday for a year)
10 Patients will be provided to each participant for orthodontic training
Designed for those practitioners who strive to add orthodontic patient care to the existing dental services in their clinic.
The candidate is encouraged to start Orthodontic cases in the practice and take our help in its progress.
Students are introduced to a variety of treatment philosophies, with an emphasis on pre-adjusted appliances and related techniques. Supervising clinical faculty present their philosophies in daily diagnosis and treatment planning seminars. A variety of clinical techniques are demonstrated and utilized in the school’s state-of-the-art orthodontic clinical facility.
Academic requirements for the 12-month Orthodontic fellowship program are as follows
- Successful completion of the mandatory course work.
- Satisfactory treatment of the assigned patients under supervision.
- Acceptable performances on comprehensive didactic and clinical examinations.
- Completion of the research component of the program.
MISSION STATEMENT
Dr.Sachdeva’s Dental Institute is committed to providing every dental graduate an opportunity to demystify and participate in orthodontic patient care.
To encourage every dental practitioner to learn the orthodontic procedures and approach an orthodontic patient with confidence and participate in orthodontic patient care with authority.
