2016.
Materials and Methods: A Delphi method was used in two rounds to develop consensus by orthodontic faculty
from various dental colleges of Pakistan. Learning outcomes related to skills were formulated in the form of a
questionnaire and sent to study participants. A five point likert scale was used to obtain perception of dental
faculty. Later, a qualitative approach was adopted by giving open ended questions associated with skills
required in “Treatment” part of undergraduate orthodontic course. The quantitative data was analyzed by
using SPSS version 20. The qualitative data was obtained and analyzed using NVivo version 11.
Results: Twenty participants (N= 20) responded with their feedback to closed-ended first questionnaire and
sixteen participants responded to the second open-ended questionnaire. Out of the 28 learning objectives,
participants achieved consensus on 21 items particularly on knowledge and skills related to treatment planning
for mixed dentition in first round. Whereas in second round, out of seven non consensus items, two learning
objectives, three dimensional location of maxillary canine and skill in fabrication of functional appliances could
not achieve consensus.
Conclusion: The orthodontic faculty agreed that undergraduate students must have skills of history taking, oral
examination, x-ray, and removable appliances for orthodontic discipline.
