(1 unit) GDM 73 INTERDISCIPLINARY DIAGNOSIS AND TREATMENT PLANNING Interdepartmental preparation, presentation, and evaluation of interrelated advanced dental specialty cases. Emphasis will be placed on multidisciplinary management, including diagnosis and treatment. ( GDM 715 - BIOSTATISTICS Emphasizes on probability and sampling theories, criteria of validity and reliability, and fundamentals of descriptive and inferential statistics. Scales of measurements and applications of parametric and non-parametric tests are introduced in application to orthodontics. ( GDE 716 RESEARCH DESIGNS AND METHODS Involves formulation of research idea, review of appropriate literature, formulation of research hypothesis and the methods and materials to be used in implementation of the proposal. ( GDP 711 BIOMATERIALS AND BIOMECHANICS This course introduces the student to the 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. ( GDO 715 ADVANCED ORTHODONTIC CLINIC I Introduces the students to the rigors, pace and environment of a modern-day orthodontic practice. (3 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 71 CELLULAR AND MOLECULAR BIOLOGY Ultramicroscopic cellular components and their biological functions are discussed at molecular level. ( GDM 7 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. ( GDO 71 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. ( GDO 7 ADVANCED ORTHODONTIC CLINIC 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 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. ( GDE 74 - 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. ( GDO 74 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. ( GDO 75 ADVANCED ORTHODONTIC CLINIC 3 A continuation of GDO 715. (5 GDO 731 SPEECH PHYSIOLOGY AND PATHOLOGY A detailed consideration of oral, facial, and pharyngeal physiology, with particular attention to functions of mastication, deglutition and speech. (

UE GRADUATE SCHOOL GDO 73 ORTHO-PERIO SEMINAR Students present and defend cases that they have treated jointly; discusses treatment planning and analysis of patients requiring combined orthodontic and periodontic care. (1 unit) GDO 733 ADVANCED ORTHODONTIC CLINIC 4 A continuation of GDO 75. (6 GDO 734 ORTHODONTIC RESEARCH 1 A global course that encompasses the research efforts of the resident during topic identification and thesis preparation. The research project will be supervised by a faculty member of the Department of Orthodontics. The topic of the research must be approved by the thesis committee of the orthodontic residency. 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 (learned in GDE 591) of findings if needed such as in clinical case findings. (3 GDO 736 ORTHO-PROSTHO SEMINAR Students present and defend cases that they have treated jointly; discusses treatment planning and analysis of patients requiring combined orthodontic and prosthodontic care. (1 unit) GDO 737 TMJ AND OCCLUSION SEMINAR Involves discussion of current concepts of mandibular movement as related to semi-adjustable articulator; concepts of different types of tooth position and jaw positions are explained. (1 unit) GDM 733 - CLEFT LIP AND PALATE SEMINAR A course designed to provide a forum for discussion of treatment planning and management of cleft lip and palate cases, including other congenital malformations. (1 unit) GDO 735 ORTHODONTIC RESEARCH An advanced course for orthodontic graduate students in which the nature of hypothesis testing, the process of clinical decision making, and the statistical methodology to be employed in each student s thesis research is discussed with the faculty in charge of the faculty. Deals with regular discussions on the updates, development of the students research coursework that refers to the implementation of approved and defended research proposal to include collaboration with those agencies with facilities needed for the research and collection of data, analysis and interpretation of the data in preparation for the defense of the research paper to a panel prior to its publication in a professional journal.
