Course Description
This course is a continuation of the clinical orthodontic course Dent 595. It is offered
on the second semester of the fifth year. The students will continue patient
examination, diagnosis and treatment planning. During this course the students will
also execute orthodontic treatment for simple problems using removable, growth
modification, and partial fixed orthodontic appliances. During this semester, students
are expected to discuss more difficult cases than the first semester. They are also
expected to make presentation for the comprehensive case they collected during the
first semester.

Additional Notes
Professionalism




Gross violations of the formal codes are governed by
University laws, which delineate the procedures to
determine whether a violation of the code of ethics
occurred and, if so, what remedies should be imposed.
We encourage students to abide with the more sensitive
approach to this by allowing the practice of a high
Morality (or proper behavior), which defines right and
wrong by the society, philosophy, religion, and
individual conscience.
Students and their instructors often make ethical choices
reflexively/ But ethically sensitive situations, where
time, emotions and marks are pressured, it becomes all
too easy to be blind-sided by temptation/ The best
antidote to ethical lapses is to commit in advance to a set
of ethical principles - your personal ethical code that
follows or grows to it.
Any difficulty or concern during the course should be
passed directly to the course coordinator.
It is applicable when an acceptable and valid excuse is
presented at the applicable time
Make-up Exams

Absenteeism

To receive course credit, a student should attend a
minimum of 90% of the contact hours of the class.
Students who are absent for the lecture must contact the
course coordinator prior to the class.
If absent from lectures, then the course coordinator will
refer to related guidelines set by the university.
Any student who is absent on a test day, will have to
demonstrate an acceptable medical or social statement
explaining the illness or personal crisis as instructed by
their faculty.

Students with
Special needs

Individual
instructors
may
accommodate
by
arrangements for a make-up test only when a written
request is sent to and approved by the Dean.

Any student who feels that s/he may need
accommodation for any type of disability is encouraged
to contact the course coordinator who will be happy to
help in any way.
Accommodations to the course plan can be tailored to
the needs of specific individuals after consultations with
the dean.
All students are highly encouraged to participate in the
classes.
The course coordinator is always available to talk with
the student when problems arise.
If you have any problems that require the attention of an
instructor, do not wait until the problem is
insurmountable.
If a student must talk with the course coordinator after
office hours, an appointment can be made for that time.
Do not allow tension to build-up to unsolvable
proportions.
Information contained in this course outline is correct at
the time of publication.
Content of the course is revised on an ongoing basis to
ensure relevance to changing educational needs.
The course coordinator reserves the right to add or delete
material from the course and will endeavor to provide
notice of changes to students as soon as possible.
The timetable may also be revised accommodating to
holidays and unexpected off days.
