DENTAL ANATOMY AND MORPHOLOGY LAB

Catalog Description:

60 L – Dental Anatomy and Morphology Lab1 unit

Supplemental instruction on the development, eruption, and structures of the intraoral cavity and extraoral structures: structures of the teeth, tooth numbering systems, occlusion and anomalies. Identification of teeth and oral structure. Corequisite: DH 60. 3 hours laboratory.
[Typical contact hours: 52.5]

Prerequisite Skills:

None

Expected Outcomes for Students:

Upon completion of the course the student should be able to:

  1. use models to identify the structures of the teeth;
  2. identify tooth form and function, distinguishing major crown and root characteristics;
  3. communicate and apply the universal, palmer and FDI numbering systems;
  4. differentiate between deciduous and permanent dentitions;
  5. recognize early signs of deviation in deciduous, mixed and permanent dentitions;
  6. identify common dental anomalies found in the dentition;
  7. identify and communicate the major parts of a tooth;
  8. identify each of the five surfaces of a tooth and locate the point and line angles;
  9. apply principles of dental notation as it relates to restorative charting;
  10. identify common dental anomalies found in the dentition;
  11. identify and communicate the major parts of a tooth;
  12. identify each of the five surfaces of a tooth and locate the point and line angles.
