History and etiology: Slide 2
Medical: Brief description (1 or 2 lines)
Dental: Brief description (1 or 2 lines).
Chief complaint: :“My teeth are crooked and I want to changed that.”
Diagnosis: (Description of case, Problem List)
Summarize the patient’s diagnosis on slide 13. Document problems based on patient’s history, clinical examination, diagnostic records evaluation and all other pertinent information like Cephalometric analysis, Panoramic analysis, Model analysis.
Detail the treatment objectives based on the diagnosis on slides 14-16
Specific objectives of treatment: Slide 14-16.
As explained above, the candidate should provided detailed information of changes that are anticipated with the soft tissue, maxillo-mandibular relationship and dentition in all three planes of space.
A drawn Visualized Treatment Objective (VTO) is recommended. At this level of examination one should be able to provide this information. It will also be very useful when you will do your progress report 1 year into treatment (or 2 years into treatment) as well as your final evaluation at completion of treatment.
Cases that require surgery should have Surgical Treatment Objective (STO). Candidates should be able to provide the presurgical objectives of the orthodontic preparation, type of surgery and surgical movement (in mm) (the surgical objectives) that will be necessary to achieve ideal facial balance and ideal occlusal relationship.
Treatment plan: (slide 18)
In discussing your treatment plan, review the influence of facial growth, treatment appliances and mechanics, and surgery, if indicated, to attain the forecast goals. What changes do you anticipate with the soft tissue, maxillo-mandibular relationship and dentition in all three planes of space? A drawn Visualized Treatment Objective (VTO) or Surgical Treatment Objective (STO) would be helpful although not mandatory
Prognosis: (slide 20)
Please write no more than 1 or 2 lines describing any influences that you feel may affect the outcome of the treatment either positively or negatively.
Mechanics (slides 22-23)
Include in this discussion appliance selection and design, bracket placement, other appliances, their specific uses and their anticipated responses. Include your anticipated sequence of treatment.
VTO (slide 24):
A drawn Visualized Treatment Objective (VTO) is recommended. At this level of examination one should be able to provide this information. It will also be very useful when you will do your progress report 1 year into treatment (or 2 years into treatment) as well as your final evaluation at completion of treatment.
Cases that require surgery should have Surgical Treatment Objective (STO). Candidates should be able to provide the preoperative objectives of the orthodontic preparation, the type of surgery anticipated, and the surgical objectives – e.g., the surgical movement (in mm) that will be necessary to achieve ideal facial balance and ideal occlusal relationship.
Treatment progress at 1 year:
On slide 32, please include your sequence of treatment. Also include arch wire selection, sequence and timing.
Compare your treatment progress relative to the original problem list and the forecast goals. Progress superimpositions are essential to analyze treatment progress changes (slide 30)
On slides 34-36, please summarize the results achieved, including the treatment response relative to the biomechanics used.
On slide 37, please summarize treatment progress and discuss any changes or modifications of treatment that will be needed to attain your original treatment goals.
Treatment progress at 2 year:
Slide 46-48, compare treatment progress relative to the original problem list and the forecast goals. Progress superimpositions are essential to analyze treatment progress changes.
Discuss treatment response relative to case biomechanics used.
Slide 49, discuss any changes or modifications of treatment that will be needed to attain your original treatment goals.
Final results achieved: Slide 59-61
Compare final occlusion relative to the original problem list and the forecast goals.
Refer to the specific treatment objectives that were established in the treatment plan prior to treatment. Final superimpositions are essential to analyze treatment progress changes.
Discuss treatment response relative to case biomechanics used.
Retention:
In slide 62, discuss retention planned for this patient based upon original problem list, final result, and anticipated post treatment changes.
Maxilla:
Mandible:
Final evaluation:
Discuss final treatment response relative to forecast treatment goals. Did you reach your goals? If not, why? Would you do something different next time? What did you learn by treating this case?
