Aims:This study aims to explore the criteria used by graduate students while selecting a career as orthodontists and their future aspirations.Materials and Methods:A list of Saudi Board of Orthodontics (SB-Ortho) residents was obtained from the Central and Western regions of the Kingdom and all orthodontic residents (excluding the 1st year residents) were invited to participate in this survey. Permission to contact the orthodontic residents was obtained from the respective program directors. The final study sample composed of 36 orthodontic residents.Results:About 39% of residents chose orthodontic specialty after graduation, nearly 33% selected the career during the undergraduate education while the rest chose the specialty at other stages. Approximately, 67% of the residents chose orthodontic specialty because it is intellectual challenging. Around 25% of residents choose orthodontic to improve their earning and 39% join orthodontic for job prestige. Around 50% of orthodontic Saudi residents planned to use self-ligating brackets; 63.9% planned to use invisalign; 86.1% plan to use temporary anchorage devices. About 72% of residents plan to use a cone-beam computerized tomography; 89% plan to use a digital imaging program; 39% plan to use indirect bonding; and 28% plan to use lingual orthodontics. More than half of the residents showed interest to participate in the research and about a quarter of them were willing to work in small cities.Conclusions:Most of the orthodontic residents in Saudi Arabia take up this specialty as they felt that it was intellectually challenging. The SB-Ortho program adequately prepares the residents in all the modern aspects of the specialty.

“…conducted a similar study at the same meeting in addition to mailing a survey; they obtained participation from 330 residents, for a response rate of 77%; this represented 46% of US orthodontic residents. The surveys of Noble 6 in Canada had a response rate 81.48% while survey in US by Noble 4 had a response rate of 40.1%. Despite a smaller sample size than the previous studies, the sample nevertheless represented orthodontic residents programs throughout the United States, allowing for significant conclusions to be drawn.…”

“…But never ever there has been an end user review of the curriculum, the level of satisfaction and whether the aspiration of the residents are met or not have never been accounted nor has been reported in literature. There have been three reported studies in United states by Keith and Poffit, 2 Bruner et al 3 and Noble et al, 4 One in UK by Keith 5 and one in Canada by Noble. 6 But no resident survey done in India till date.…”

“…2,3 found that residents chose orthodontics as a career because they expect future job satisfaction and intellectual stimulation. Noble 6 in 2009 reported in his study in Canada and his similar study in US in 2010 4 established that most residents in their respective countries were interested in private practice after graduation, with only a few expressing an interest in academics. This crisis in US and Canada in recruitment and retention of orthodontic educators has been well documented.…”

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the future practice plans of the Orthodontic residents in India. Materials and methods:Questionnaire totaling 37 items was drafted and posted along self-addressed (return) envelopes to the respective Head of Orthodontic departments of 120 dental schools. This survey was also carried out at the postgraduate student convention at Manali in 2011. A total of 1200 questionnaire forms were circulated and 781 forms were received back. Survey was started in February 2011 and completed in August 2011. Basic statistic including Chi-square test was performed for the comparative analysis based on sex and region.Results: 100% of the respondants were satisfied with the choice of the subject while 44% opted for the prosthodontia as their second choice if given chance. 72% residents were satisfied with 3 years duration of the course. 77% of them were planning to take IBO certification while 80% residents were against making it against compulsory. 57% residents said they will be looking for a job while 30% wanted to start practice right after their postgraduate course completion. Self-ligating brackets are expected to gain ground with 71% residents expecting to use them and 55% were for the use of Invasilign. 89% were going to use fixed functional appliance. 90% residents plan to use TAD in their practice and fixed retainer was clear favorite (53%). The choices were uniform among the male and female respondants and also no clear regional significant differences were evident between the various regions. Conclusion:Indian Orthodontic programs would not find a shortage of full-time academicians in the future. Residents favor 35-to 36-month programs with a research-based component. Newer techniques, e.g. Digital Imaging, TAD, SLB are here to stay.
