In order to evaluate and compare the effects of a protocol implementation on the ABO-OGS scores, standardize cast models and Pan X-Ray from by convenience patients of Orthodontic Postgraduate Program of University of Antioquia who finish orthodontic treatment and receive the protocol are digitized, eight variables are evaluate and ABO-OGS score is calculate. A comparison with 40 no-protocol ABO-OGS scores by convenience-selected patients is done. The protocol includes an educate residents program about finishing problems , an standardized clinical and X-ray assessment , brackets reposition and frequent clinical evaluation. The percentage of the protocol implementation is calculate in every patient and reliability test is make .
