Orthotown September 2019 - 47

Perspective
We asked two pediatric dentists to discuss
How much did you learn in your pediatric residency about
orthodontics? Or, put another way, how much time was
devoted to orthodontics?
Dr. Candace Veneberg: I graduated from Baylor
College of Dentistry Pediatric Dental Residency in
2008. Emphasis was on orthodontic diagnosis, treatment planning and collaborating with orthodontists.
We had limited orthodontic clinical exposure. Residents
could elect to have more clinical cases.
Dr. Robert Matthews: In
my pediatric residency, we had minimal interceptive
orthodontic training. I would say that our main focus
was on space maintenance due to early loss of primary
dentition, but we did have a handful of lectures from
a practicing orthodontist in the area, who discussed
orthodontic considerations and eruption timelines.
During my second year, I was able to fabricate a push-spring appliance
to correct a single-tooth crossbite and assisted in placing a few brackets
on a patient. (So, in other words, not much.)

Were you allowed or encouraged to "do your own"
orthodontics, or to refer it to other specialists?
CV: We were encouraged to provide Phase I orthodontics such as
correction of crossbites, or limited Phase I for aesthetics.
RM: In my residency program, we mainly referred patients out for
orthodontic care. We were required to select one patient our second year
to treat, under the supervision of an orthodontist, but it had to be a very
simple case or interceptive treatment. Mine consisted of correcting a
single-tooth crossbite of #8.

At what point or age in the development
of the child dentition did you refer?
CV: Age 7.
RM: We typically referred out toward the late mixed dentition, or when
patients were in their early teens with permanent dentition. Generally, it
was due to crowding or the patients' concern with their appearance.
