Abstract
In some parts of the UK, there continues to be a lack of available specialist orthodontic treatment provision, with some general dental practitioners carrying out a significant amount of orthodontic treatment. There was a need to establish an educational opportunity for general dental practitioners with an interest in orthodontics, which would lead to a diploma. The diploma in primary care orthodontics provides this opportunity and has established clear standards of orthodontic patient care for primary care practitioners with a special interest in orthodontics. Demand for the course leading to the diploma in primary care orthodontics has continued to grow, with the cohort for the October 2009 intake almost completely fulfilled a month ahead of the application deadline.
