2. Growth and development of jaws, teeth, face and skull and establishment of
normal occlusion
3. Genetics as applied to Orthodontics
4. Normal occlusion and its characteristics. Factors responsible for
establishment and maintenance of normal occlusion
5. Malocclusion types and different classifications
6. Etiology of malocclusion
7. History taking and examination of patient and case analysis and different
diagnosis including cepha-lometrics and treatment planning
8. a. Preventive and interceptive treatment of malocclusion
b. Extraction of Orthodontics
