Objectives: To (1) survey Australian orthodontists about their involvement with a government-funded scheme for patients with clefts, the Medicare Cleft Lip and Cleft Palate Scheme (MCLCPS) and (2) investigate their attitude toward treating patients with clefts and their training in this respect. Design: A 13-question online survey was distributed to members of the Australian Society of Orthodontists. The survey gathered information regarding respondent demographics, the number of MCLCPS-eligible patients seen in the past 12 months and usual billing practices. Results: A total of 96 complete responses were obtained. About 70% of respondents had treated MCLCPS-eligible patients in the past 12 months and 55% saw between 2 and 5 patients during this time. The likelihood of treating patients with clefts increased by a factor of 4.8 (95% CI: 1.2-18.9) if practicing outside of a capital city and 1.5 times for each decade increase in orthodontist’s age (95% CI: 1.0-2.2). The MCLCPS was utilized by 81% of orthodontists with 26% of these respondents accepting rebate only. Most orthodontists felt their university training could have better prepared them to treat patients with clefts. A minority of orthodontists felt that a rebate increase would make them more likely to treat these patients. Conclusions: Australian orthodontists who treat patients with clefts tend to be older and work outside of capital cities. The decision to treat these patients tends to not be financially motived. Specialty orthodontic training programs could improve the preparedness of their graduates to treat patients with clefts.

Orthodontic Training

In this paper the author acknowledges the importance to the aspirant specialist orthodontist of a 2-year period of basic specialty training, whether the orthodontist is going into an academic post, the hospital consultant service or whether he is going to limit his practice to orthodontics within the general dental services. He discusses the need to complete a period of general training in dentistry before going on to a 2-year course of training in orthodontics. This type of training should be given at a limited number of centres in university departments. During this extended period of basic specialty training the graduate is often under financial pressure. The need to pay the graduates who spend half of their time in a service role is stressed. The author discusses why Britain is moving into a situation in which in orthodontic training it is internationally in a minority of one and considers the dento-political background which has led to this. He is hopeful but pessimistic about the possibility of change.

Introduction: Use of audiovisual aids is not new to improve dental teachingefficiency. Objective: To compare the effectiveness of traditional lecture versus video fororthodontic training of dental interns. Study design: Prospective, Randomized trial. Setting:Orthodontic Dental Section, Faisalabad Medical University. Period: 15.7.2017 to 5.2.2018.Materials & Methods: Two groups of 15 dental interns were selected randomly at OrthodonticDental Section, Faisalabad Medical University. One group was presented with traditional lecturewhile other group was shown a video. The learning objective of both was to train the dentalinterns to bond molar tubes onto extracted human lower first molars. Dental interns bondedmolar tubes and results were assessed by an experienced blinded orthodontist. Resultswere analyzed for accuracy of molar tube bonding. Results: Results showed that there wasinsignificant difference between the two groups for accuracy of molar tube bonding ontoextracted human lower first molars (P value=0.3401). Conclusion: Traditional lecture and videowere equally effective for orthodontic training of dental interns for bonding of molar tubes.
