INTRODUCTION
A 4-year collaborative project between the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO) and 15 American orthodontic graduate programs concluded at the ABO Clinical Examination in February 2006.
METHODS
Fifty recent graduates (the pilot study group) presented cases that were treated in their graduate programs as partial fulfillment of the requirements for ABO certification. The examinees were tested by calibrated ABO examiners and required to satisfy traditional ABO standards. They presented appropriate case reports that contained the ABO's 3 measurement instruments. Thirty-nine practicing orthodontists (the control group) presented cases according to the traditional ABO Clinical Examination process.
RESULTS
Ninety percent of the pilot study group and 85% of the control group successfully accomplished ABO certification. There was a difference of 2.38 points between the 2 groups for the mean total scores of the cases that passed. The pilot study group presented cases that met the historic averages for case complexity (discrepancy index).
CONCLUSIONS
Residents in orthodontic programs are able to treat cases to ABO standards of quality.
引言
美国正畸委员会（ABO）与15个美国正畸研究生项目之间开展的一项为期4年的合作项目于2006年2月在ABO临床考试中结束。
方法
50名近期毕业生（试点研究组）展示了他们在研究生项目中治疗的病例，作为满足ABO认证要求的部分内容。应试者由经过校准的ABO考官进行测试，并要求符合传统的ABO标准。他们提交了包含ABO三种测量工具的适当病例报告。39名执业正畸医生（对照组）按照传统的ABO临床考试流程展示病例。
结果
试点研究组90%的成员和对照组85%的成员成功完成了ABO认证。通过的病例平均总分在两组之间相差2.38分。试点研究组展示的病例符合病例复杂性（差异指数）的历史平均水平。
结论
正畸项目中的住院医师能够按照ABO的质量标准治疗病例。
