physical properties of orthodontic wires and force

systems; the subject of moments, couples, orthodontic

tooth movement in three planes of space and the

requirements of static equilibrium will also be

discussed. (2 units)

GDO 715 – ADVANCED ORTHODONTIC CLINIC I

Introduces the students to the rigors,

pace and environment of a modern-day orthodontic

practice. (3 units)

GDM 734 – ADVANCED INFECTION CONTROL

Infection control deals with safety precautionary

measures, policies, and management to prevent the risk

of transmission of infection in health care settings as

hospitals, clinics and community health services.

(1 unit)

GDE 721 – CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY

Ultramicroscopic cellular components and their

biological functions are discussed at molecular

level. (2 units)

GDM 722 – OCCLUSION, TMJ DYSFUNCTION AND PAIN

A course that gives the students a better

perspective on the diagnosis and management of

temporomandibular joint disorders in relation to pain.

(2 units)

GDO 721 – DENTOCRANIOFACIAL ANOMALIES

A course that covers the collaborative efforts of

the oral and maxillofacial surgical, prosthethics, and

other craniofacial team members with orthodontics as

the primary focus to find solutions to problems that

individual discipline could not handle independently.

Rotation to different craniofacial centers is a

requirement. (2 units)

GDO 722 – ADVANCED ORTHODONTIC

CLINIC 2

A continuation of GDO 715. Clinical

experience treating orthodontic patients with a variety

of problems is provided. Experience is gained using

standard edgewise appliances as well as preadjusted

appliances. Experience using functional appliances such

as the Herbst, Twin Block, and the MARA appliance is

attained. In addition, various orthopedic appliances,

including the facial mask, rapid maxillary expander,

and the chin cup may be incorporated into specific

treatment protocols. complying with relevant clinical

patient management requirements. (3 units)

GDM 735 – TRENDS IN MEDICAL AND DENTAL EMERGENCIES

Medical and dental emergencies deal with early

recognition and preparation of patients with risk of

impending medical emergencies such as cardiovascular

and neurological disorders which may arise in dental

practice, prevention and skills consistent with the basic

knowledge of the cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR)

and management of airway, breathing and circulation

(ABC). (1 unit)

GDM 711 – ADVANCED ORAL BIOLOGY

Deals with the survey of oral biology

including cell biology; composition of the oral

tissues; role of saliva in health and diseases;

systematic and oral diseases important in dentistry. (2

units)

GDE 724 - RESEARCH ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION

Involves the formulation of research idea,

review of appropriate literature, formulation of

research hypothesis and the methods and materials

used in implementation of the proposal relevant to

their chosen specialty. At the end of the course the

students would be able to discuss ethics and integrity

in research, formulate a design of the study, submission

of a protocol, and choice of statistical analysis of

findings. (2 units)

GDO 724 – ORTHOGNATHIC SURGERY

The fundamental diagnostic and

treatment features of maxillofacial, developmental, and

acquired deformities treated by orthognathic surgery

are presented by faculty from Oral and Maxillofacial

Surgery and Orthodontics. Preoperative and

postoperative orthodontics as well as the spectrum of

corrective surgical procedures are also presented.

Correction of occlusal dysfunction and skeletal

disharmony in both jaws in all three planes of space is

included. Rotations in satellite clinics for the students

exposure in Orthognathic surgery management . (2

units) GDO 725 – ADVANCED ORTHODONTIC
