Orthodontics 3 - Theory

Data

Official data in SubjectManager for the following academic year: 2024-2025

Topic

The aim of this subject is that graduate students can acquire the knowledge regarding the aetiological factors and characteristics of orthodontic anomalies as well as possible treatment strategies. This is necessary for general dental practitioners to be able to recognise orthodontic problems and to take part in interdisciplinary collaboration.
