Clinical instructor Tiina Ik\u00e4valko and practical instructor Wilma Valkeap\u00e4\u00e4, who provides treatment to orthodontic patients, Wellbeing Services County of North Ostrobothnia (POHDE)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Tiina Ik\u00e4valko<\/strong> is a professional clinical instructor who graduated as a dentist from the University of Oulu in 1988. Ik\u00e4valko initially worked as a dentist in Suonenjoki for 16 years before specializing in orthodontics in 2004 and graduating as an orthodontist in 2007. Since 2011, she has provided both theoretical and clinical training at the university and university hospital. She completed her PhD in 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ik\u00e4valko works for the University of Eastern Finland, but holds a secondary position at the Kuopio University Hospital. In addition, she provides training to specializing dentists. Ik\u00e4valko states that she is in her dream job. Not only does she get to work with students, but hospital work allows her to look at dentistry from a different perspective. Her patients include children but also patients who need orthodontic surgery in the specialized health care setting. She also treats child and adult patients at private clinics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dentists must master the basics of orthodontics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The basic studies in dentistry include two courses in orthodontics: identification of malocclusions and treatment of malocclusions. One lecture discusses the LM-Activator\u2122 eruption guidance appliance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the first two years, the curriculum focuses exclusively on preclinical work. The undergraduate students start working at the clinic halfway through their third year, initially practicing with a phantom head at the simulation laboratory. \u201cThe students complete seven practical orthodontic exercises in the spring of their third year\u201d, explains Ik\u00e4valko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All dentists must possess certain basic professional skills to be able to identify existing malocclusions and unfavorable development in children. They must also learn to perform certain orthodontic first aid
procedures in case a patient\u2019s appliance breaks down, for example. Dentists also need to be able to identify malocclusions in adults. A patient with problematic periodontology issues, for example, might have an underlying malocclusion. Dentists must also be able to provide treatment with eruption guidance appliances and Quadhelix expanders to children who need orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Working at a teaching clinic provides valuable experience to students<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The hospital\u2019s outpatient clinic serves as the teaching clinic, but the patients are children who have been referred to treatment from health centers. LM-Activators\u2122 are used in the clinic\u2019s treatment room, where the first orthodontic patient assigned to each dental student is a prescreened patient who needs treatment with an eruption guidance appliance. When the patient arrives for his or her appointment at the teaching clinic, the student performs the examination, takes dental impressions and photographs, and prepares the referrals for X-ray examinations. The teacher and student then review the documents together, establish the diagnosis and prepare a treatment plan. At the next visit, the LM-Activator\u2122 eruption guidance appliance is fitted into the patient\u2019s mouth. The student continues to monitor the patient and the effectiveness of the treatment over the next few study years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The approach adopted by the orthodontic teaching clinic in Kuopio is ideal for learning about early orthodontic treatment in children. \u201cThe dental students are personally involved in the examination of the patients and the planning and implementation of treatment from the start. They are able to see the results of their own work when they treat the same patient with LM-Activator\u2122 from the start until the end of the treatment\u201d, says Tiina Ik\u00e4valko.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Specializing in orthodontics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Finland, dentists and dental specialists are trained in four cities: Oulu, Kuopio, Turku and Helsinki. Training for dentists wanting to specialize in orthodontics is also provided in Tampere. A total of 40 new dental students start their studies in Kuopio every year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are always a few students in each class who develop a special interest in orthodontics. Applications for orthodontic specialization studies are accepted annually, and the professors keep an eye on the situation.
\u201cStudents apply for the right to study at the university and find a residency on their own, although this can sometimes be a challenge, because a residency also always requires a suitable supervisor\u201d, explains Ik\u00e4valko.
The practical work included in the specialization is carried out partly at the hospital and partly at a health center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Orthodontic treatment with the LM-Activator\u2122 eruption guidance appliance is easy and cost-effective especially when carried out in co-operation with general dental practitioners and dental hygienists. Once the diagnosis has been established and the treatment plan has been prepared, the orthodontic specialists can focus on other tasks.\u201d<\/p>\nTiina Ik\u00e4valko, Dental and Orthodontic Specialist, D.D.Sc<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
