COURSE NAME : 60.41 Orthodontic Wire Basics
COURSE DESCRIPTION : 60.41 Orthodontic Wire Basics Course Presentation: 30 minutes Run Time, Knowledge Quiz: 24 Questions, 2 CE Credits Contents of the Orthodontic Wire Basics Course This course teaches the important concepts for selecting the appropriate wire to insert based on the phase of treatment and the preferences of the doctor. Goal: The goal of this course is to share information about different types of wires used in orthodontics and the purposes of these different wire types. Objectives: At the conclusion of this course, the student will be able to: Sections of the Orthodontic Wire Basics Course 1. Types of Wires- Five types of wires and five phases of orthodontic phases of treatment. 2. Alignment Wires 3. Nitinol 4. Thermal Copper Nitinol 5. Superelastic Nitinol 6.Making a “Bend Back” in Nitinol 7. Selecting the Best Alignment Wire 8. Leveling Wires Characteristics and Types 9. Leveling Wires Basics 10. Typical Leveling Wires 11. Arch Coordination Wires 12. Arch Coordination After Expansion 13. Arch Coordinate, Space Closure, Friction 14. Typical Space Closure Wires 15. Finishing Wires 16. Finishing Wire Types 17. Typical Finishing Wires Course Resources: This course includes the following resources: These resource documents are provided to help the student learn and retain the important concepts of the course. The checklists are designed for the student to learn a standard of selecting, inserting, and tying in an orthodontic wire. Also, the student needs to know when the steps have resulted in the highest standard of performance, and if not, what are the problems the student should correct to achieve a high standard. Learning Activities of the Course The learner views this course presentation as many times as it takes to understand the important concepts, which may be measured by answering the 24 embedded quiz questions correctly. These quiz questions help the learner focus on the important points. Then the learner rests his/her brain so the learning can be transferred to long term memory. Then the learner takes the Knowledge Quiz for the course to measure his/her learning of the objectives of the course. There is one Steps Checklist and one Quality Results Checklist to help the student learn the steps of this procedure and evaluate the quality of the results of the procedure. SCORM Tracking of Each Student’s Learning Activities and Recording on the Student Dashboard Report Each student’s learning activities such as correctly answering presentation embedded quiz questions, presentation viewing time, Knowledge Quiz completion time, Knowledge Quiz Score, and other learning data, are tracked so that a “learning analysis” can be done for each student and for the quality of each course. This data documents student performance and reports it on the Student Dashboard as well as in the Gradebook. This holds the student accountable for learning. In the future, student performance of this procedure in the clinic may be used to identify students who have not learned to actually perform the procedure, so that intervention can be made to help the student become proficient. No data is share with any entity. If data is ever used for learning research, all data will be de-identified following research protocol. Who should take this course? All orthodontists, orthodontic residents, and orthodontic assistants should learn and perform this procedure when they are in training.
