Case Requirements for Phase III (Board Certification): |
| |
1. |
The Candidate should present the records of a total of 5 cases of
malocclusion that he/she has personally treated as under: |
| |
|
Category I: |
Selected skeletal and or dental Class I with crowding of the
arches, arch length-tooth material discrepancy not less than 5.mm |
| |
|
Category II: |
Selected skeletal and or dental Class II malocclusion with ANB
angle greater than 5 degrees. |
| |
|
Category III: |
Selected transverse discrepancy -complete unilateral or bilateral
posterior cross bite, or vertical discrepancy with FMA angle
greater than 35 degrees or less than 20 degrees. |
| |
|
Categories IV & V: |
Selected cases (Two) with any other deformity of the
candidate's choice. |
| |
|
Note: At least one of the above five cases should be a four premolar extraction case. |
| |
|
| 2. |
The candidate should certify that he/she has personally treated all the 5
cases and shall submit an affidavit to that effect |
| 3. |
For each of the 5 cases, the following Pretreatment and Post-treatment
records should be submitted for examination: |
| |
i. |
Study models. |
| |
ii. |
Intra-oral (5) and Extra-oral photographs of face(3 views) |
| |
iii. |
Lateral cephalograms. |
| |
iv. |
Orthopantomogram or full mouth Intra-oral x-rays. |
| |
v. |
Other records as deemed appropriate for the specific case. |
| |
|
| Criteria for Selection of Case Reports |
The Candidate's Case Report Examination is a comprehensive evaluation of case reports of patients that have been treated by the candidate. The categories of the malocclusions presented must comply with the Case Report Category Specifications as required by the Board and stated herein. The candidate must have made the diagnosis, formulated a treatment plan, constructed the appliance, monitored the progress and regular appliance adjustment, and completed treatment. |
The patient treatment records included in the Case Record Evaluation should be representative of the most challenging patient care rendered in the candidate's practice and must demonstrate the candidate's diagnostic ability, treatment skills, and clinical judgment, as well as reflect excellence in finishing. |
For each patient whose records are displayed, the candidate must have provided all of the professional judgment and treatment. Case reports of patients treated by the candidate during the candidate's tenure as a student in an advanced education program in orthodontics cannot be used to satisfy the Phase III clinical examination requirements. Candidates with full-time academic appointments may use case reports they have treated in their department. These case reports must be accompanied by an affidavit from the Head of the Department verifying that the candidate initiated and completed the actual treatment of the patient. Actual treatment means that the candidate did the diagnosis and treatment planning, constructed the appliance, completed regular appliance adjustment, monitored treatment progress, and completed treatment. |
Evaluation of the orthodontic treatment results presented in the Case Report Evaluation will be based on the attainment of the following orthodontic treatment objectives: |
| 1. |
Treatment complementing facial growth, |
| 2. |
Facial harmony - balance and harmony of the soft tissue and proper
proportion of facial structures, |
| 3. |
Maximum esthetics of the teeth and face,, |
| 4. |
Dental health - maximum health of the teeth, the supporting tissues and the adjacent structures |
| 5. |
Optimal function, free of interference's and trauma, |
| 6. |
Excellent occlusion, |
| 7. |
Favorable intercuspation of the teeth, |
| 8. |
Alignment of permanent second molars, |
| 9. |
Favorable overjet and overbite relationship, |
| 10. |
Favorable correction of rotations of all teeth, |
| 11. |
Favorable axial inclination of all teeth, |
| 12. |
Complete space closure, |
| 13. |
Coordinated ideal archform with all the teeth aligned within their supporting structures, |
| 14. |
Good vertical control, |
| 15. |
Good stability. |
