The practice of orthodontics in Nigeria has witnessed a gradual, but steady development since its introduction about three decades ago. The undergraduate orthodontic training that was fashioned after the British model has evolved from a concentrated course of lectures to a more clinical/practical orientated programme. The local postgraduate training, however, needs to be restructured and strengthened in order to face the challenges ahead. The importance of constant upgrading of knowledge and skills in all areas of orthodontics is also emphasized.
Content and background of the Capacity report 2001 for orthodontics in the Netherlands are discussed. The final conclusion of this report is that there is a yearly need of an input of 12 to 15 residents into postgraduate orthodontic programs. At the moment capacity of postgraduate training programs in the Netherlands is 4.5 resident yearly. Discussion is focussed on the advantages and disadvantages of the model used for the calculated estimations. More research on certain aspects of treatment need and demand is necessary. Implementation of the outcome will be a complex process for every party in the orthodontic field.
