Preamble
DTMD university primarily aims its range of courses on clear and transparent educational ob-
jectives. Thereby the focus is changed from contents and knowledge -as it is common for
medical schools- to learning results.
Using this “shift from teaching to learning“ DTMD University concentrates on an integrated
competence conception based on participatory formats. Besides specialist knowledge and
skills, the focus is set on situation and individual-based capabilities which refer to attitude,
emotions, values and motivations.
In its extra occupational post gradual master programmes applicational and practical rele-
vance are of great importance. The focus is on the students, their competences and their de-
velopment of skills.
DTMD university pursues a continuous circular process of knowledge and understanding. anal-
ysis, planning, organisation and implementation. The transparency of the competence goals
and the reflection of their own skills support the students’ learning process and their profes-
sional career.

Importance for the fi-
nal score
Learning outcome In this module the students are introduced to orthodontics and its indica-
tions, use and purpose. The different types of dysgnathia are explained.
Given clinical examples typical orthodontic problems and their solution are
shown.
Diagnostic means used in orthodontics, such as the clinical examination,
model analyses and imaging techniques are introduced. In the upcoming
modules they are treated in detail.
The students are given an overview of the different treatment methods and
criteria for choosing the right therapy. These are dependent on the type of
dysgnathia and patient-related factors like compliance, dentition and age.
Removable and fixed appliances, functional orthodontics, surgery, further
orthodontic possibilities and their application ranges, advantages and dis-
advantages are introduced to the students. The structure of a typical treat-
ment process in the chronologically right order – from the patient’s first
consultation to the follow-up care – is demonstrated.

Learning outcome After this course the students know the basics of orthodontic diagnostics
and are capable of implementing them practically.
Besides the general medical history, the students know which special or-
thodontic aspects are of importance during the anamnesis interview.
These aspects can be anomalies, growth and pre-treatments.
Furthermore, the students learn the procedure of the clinical examination
in orthodontics – especially considering the fact that they are going to deal
with paediatric or adolescent patients and their parents, which requires
special manners of communication.
Another item of this course is model analysis, which is one of the main pil-
lars of orthodontic diagnostics. After a theoretical lesson about the correct
manufacturing and measuring of the models model analysis is practised
on clinical examples.

Importance for the fi-

Learning outcome This course features the imaging diagnostics used in orthodontics, their in-
terpretation and analysis and the orthodontic planning based on X-rays.
At first the focus is on photo analysis which is used for monitoring and final
evaluation and which is supposed to record visible functional and aesthetic
disproportions. The students learn how to take intraoral and extraoral pho-
tographs and how to analyse them.
X-ray techniques commonly used in orthodontics are explained in detail.
The orthopantomogram as a panoramic radiograph shows the patient’s
dentition age and the anatomical features of the periodontium.
The cephalometric x-ray which is indispensable for orthodontic planning is
used to determine the shape of the profile, tooth and jaw position and
growth patterns.
Modern three dimensional methods, such as digital volume tomography
are gaining in importance and are also treated in this module.
Developing a suitable therapy plan for the patient which is based on the
cephalometric analysis is one of the main learning objectives in this mod-
ule. In a complex process precisely defined cephalometric landmarks,
planes and angles are drawn on the cephalometric x-ray, put into relation
to each other and compared to standard values. On the basis of the re-
sults a diagnosis is made and a therapy plan is created. Making such an
analysis requires much training. In practical lessons different clinical cases

are drawn using cephalometric x-rays and all the taught landmarks and
lines.
Another item of this module is the scientific and vivid presentation of clini-
cal cases, which is the basis for the following modules. The students learn
which patient data and illustrative material is needed for a descriptive
presentation.

ment of teeth, bone and periodontium.
A first impression of removable appliances is given by showing simple or-
thodontic appliances.
An introduction into functional orthodontics is following. Here the muscular
forces resulting from functional strain on the stomatognathic system are
converted into movement of teeth and jaws.
The detailed biological process, temporal aspects regarding the growth pe-
riod and the different appliances are explained.
Further treatment opportunities, such as active plates (Schwarz’ plates)
which evoke tooth movement with the help of screws and springs, maxil-
lary expansion, 2by4 and bite jumping appliances are treated.
After that four students present scientific papers using the methods taught
in the previous module.

Learning outcome In this course challenging cases and their orthodontic treatment are pre-
sented. Afterwards special techniques for complex biomechanical situa-
tions with a high demand on anchoring are introduced, demonstrated and
practiced on a wax typodont. Such situations can be found in adults’ ortho-
dontics. Techniques are levelling techniques for tilted teeth using springs
and the overlay technique. This technique is used to move front teeth in
the vertical dimension or to treat a deep overbite for example.
Four students present scientific papers.

tic implants. These are mini-implants which are temporally inserted and
therefore called “transitoric anchoring devices” (TADs). Bracket-bonded
teeth are anchored at the jaw bone by rubbers and wires so that a faster
and more efficient tooth movement is provided.
After a theoretical part which treats indications, advantages, disad-
vantages and the procedure of this method it is practised on a typodont.

Importance for the fi-

Learning outcome This module deals with functional problems which can occur during or after
orthodontic treatments. Understanding their origin is prerequisite for the
right diagnosis and therapy without sustaining losses in treatment success.
Especially temporomandibular joint dysfunction plays an important role:
It is a multifactorial process which results in a symptom complex compris-
ing headaches and cervical pain, toothache of unknown origin, earache
and tinnitus. The students learn pathogenesis, classification, diagnostics
and therapy of temporomandibular joint dysfunction. Different occlusal
splints and their indication, materials, advantages and disadvantages are
introduced.
Apart from that important items of physiotherapy are treated.
Because psychosomatic issues also play a role in this process the stu-
dents learn aspects of communication and patient education.
Furthermore, speech therapy is essential in orthodontics for speech im-
pediments can be caused by dental deformities and also misaligned teeth
can be caused or enhanced by the muscular influence of the surrounding
tissue. After the course the students know the correlations between
speech therapy and tooth alignment and what is to be considered during
the interdisciplinary therapy.
Four articles are presented by students.

Importance for the fi-

Learning outcome The subject of this course is orthognatic surgery. Considering distinct dys-
gnathia as of a certain discrepancy orthodontic treatment alone is not
adaequate. Additionally, a surgical solution should be aspired. The stu-
dents learn for which situations and patient ages such operations are suit-
able.
Furthermore, they know the whole procedure including the development of
the therapy plan, orthodontic and dental pre-treatment, laboratory aspects
and follow-up care.
Operation methods, such as the (bilateral) sagittal ramus split osteotomy
by Obewegeser/Dal Pont, Le-Fort I osteotomy and surgical palatal expan-
sion and the commonly used screws and plates are introduced.
Production and use of the different surgical splints are explained.
Risks and complications of these operations are also part of this module.
Given clinical examples the whole process of an orthodontic-surgical treat-
ment is demonstrated with the help of pictures.
Another topic of this module is cone beam orthodontics. Modern devices
have a lower radiation dose and should be used for imaging impacted
teeth and for the planning and evaluation of a treatment. The students
learn when and how to use digital volume tomography and how to interpret
the pictures.

plines. Fixed techniques are practised on a typodont.
Furthermore, the students have the opportunity to ask questions in order
to remove amibiguity.
After that four students present scientific articles.

Learning outcome This course is about the completion of an orthodontic treatment.
The usually adhesively fixed elements have to be professionally removed,
which is called „debonding“. Afterwards the teeth are cleaned from remain-
ing composite. The students learn how to avoid tooth damages like
enamel fractures and which instruments to use for a professional debond-
ing.
Retention is important to guarantee the treatment’s success. There are dif-
ferent techniques which are supposed to keep the teeth from moving back
to their initial position. Thus the surrounding tissue is given time to adapt to
the new situation and to stabilize it. The students learn the different tech-
niques theoretically and practically. Especially bending a retainer which re-
quires a certain degree of practise and skills is trained.
Four scientific papers are presented by the students.

in importance in the past years due to the increasing aesthetical demands
and age of the patients. Aligner orthodontics uses transparent splints
which are changed after a certain period of time. Basics, indications, ad-
vantages and disadvantages, (digital) planning and also the financial as-
pect are taught to the students.
Another special technique is the lingual technique. Appliances are adhe-
sively fixed on the lingual surfaces of the teeth. The necessary laboratory
and chairside steps and the differences to labial techniques are explained.
