"Speech-language Skills of Orthodontic Residents Through the Use of the Interdisciplinary Orofacial Examination Protocol for Children and Adolescents"

"Initial Assessment Orthodontic residents assessed each patient based on their existing knowledge of speech therapy. They rated the necessity for a speech therapy consultation on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 indicating not necessary and 10 indicating absolutely necessary.~Protocol-Guided Assessment The same residents then reassessed the same patients using the Interdisciplinary Orofacial Evaluation Protocol. After this evaluation, they again rated the necessity for a speech therapy consultation using the same 1 to 10 scale.~Speech-therapist Evaluation Subsequently, a speech therapy specialist independently evaluated each patient using the same protocol and provided their rating for the necessity of a speech therapy consultation on the same scale."
