Goals To understand the notion of health promotion while performing restorative procedures by introducing the functional anatomy and biomechanics of mastication system
Course Content Describing knowledge of the functional anatomy and biomechanics of mastication system
Learning Outcomes 1) Use basic knowledge about dental occlusion and malocclusion to determine the relation between the dental health and restorative procedures.
2) Decribe the relation between dental restorations and health promotion by carving opposing dental models and tooth engagements in simulated environment.
3) Represent the importance of maxillo-mandibular relations on clinical procedures by performing applications in simulated manikins.
