Course/Module description:
This is a first introductory course to dental medicine that includes both theoretical part and workshops. The theoretical part includes description of the morphology, structure, function, development and basic pathological conditions of permanent and deciduous teeth. It also describes soft tissues and bone of the oral cavity and basic biochemistry of collagen protein.
In the workshops we focus on identification of isolated teeth, the differentiation between them, age assessment and the ability of “negative carve” anatomically crown of teeth.
Course/Module aims:
To familiarize new dental students with teeth, bone and soft tissues of the oral cavity.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
Identify primary and permanent dentition based on extracted teeth, cast models and radiographs scan.
To be able to manually carve tooth crowns.
Identify the timing and cause of developmental insults in the dentition.
Determine the age of an individual based on teeth condition.
Demonstrate basic knowledge in tooth and soft tissues development structures and biochemical composition.
Demonstrate understanding of evolution changes in human dentition.
Demonstrate understanding of the relation between morphology and function in humans and in animal kingdom.
